#1305 of 1492 Re: recall [wingsh00ter] by gmcjoe Jan 08, 2006 (4:25 pm)
Replying to: wingsh00ter (Jan 08, 2006 8:20 am) Yes, I replaced the left front hub assembly (which included a new sensor) and the symptom disappeared and has not returned. I diagnosed the left side to be at fault in two ways - by the way the vehicle pulled when the anti-lock activated and by monitoring the sensor output voltage while rotating the tire/wheel with the truck in the air. The left side had the lower voltage reading.   Since the repair, I received my recall notice but have yet to bring the truck in. I really doubt that GM will reimburse me for anything but the amount it would cost to complete the procedures in the recall notice.   I also think it stinks that they are not willing to include the sensor and hub assembly in the recall. After all, they function as a unit to send the necessary voltage pulses to the ABS computer. They took the cheap way out on this one. Replies to this message: wingsh00ter (Jan 27, 2006 12:35 pm)

Replying to: mikec8 (Dec 25, 2005 4:11 pm) I buy an extended warranty. It has paid for itself especially with those occasional intermittent problems that require the dealer to throw parts at it.

#1308 of 1492 97 Sierra SLE transmission? by mykaveli1208 Jan 17, 2006 (5:08 pm)
Hi, I have a 1997 GMC Sierra SLE and I haven't had any problems with it until today. I was behind this person just sitting in the street ( in their car obviously ) and waiting for him to move, finally realized he was waiting for someone and went to put my truck in reverse, when I did this, I felt the engine pull real hard, like it jerked, and then it didn't reverse, it just became nuetral. And now when i am in Drive it seems to have a hard time switching gears, instead of hitting 10 - 15 and going to second, it struggles and revs real high (about 3 rpms) before it hits either 2nd gear, or skips and goes into 3rd. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Replies to this message: bigfur (Jan 17, 2006 7:42 pm)

Replying to: mykaveli1208 (Jan 17, 2006 5:08 pm) Sounds like what my old dodge ram did when it dropped the transmission. Just hope its cheaper than the rams $2500 to fix.

Replying to: 05sierraslt (Dec 14, 2005 9:41 pm) I am here looking for the same answer. My 2000 it was inside the frame in front of the gas tank. I have been all over this truck and cant find it anywhere. Did you have any luck?
#1311 of 1492 FUEL FILTER by geo9 Jan 19, 2006 (7:19 pm)
Guys.........The filter is inside the gas tank and part of the pump unit/module and is "supposed" to be a LIFETIME part on 04? and up fullsize pickups.
#1312 of 1492 missfire by fuzzy2 Jan 24, 2006 (8:32 am)
I have a 1999 GMC with a 4.8. It pops back thru the intake at 4000 rpm. and up. The engine doesn't seem to miss.Dealer replaced the intake gasket,vent solenoid,and new Pcm. with all new updates. Still same problem. Really noticeable in passing gear. Dealer thinks maybe now, oxygen sensor bad.Any ideas.
#1313 of 1492 Re: low coolant light [gmctruck] by thompson4 Jan 25, 2006 (9:32 am)
Replying to: gmctruck (Aug 04, 2005 6:45 am) I have a 1993 Sierra with the V6. I drive for miles and the temp gauge doesnt move. All of the sudden the gauge begins to move rapidly and peeks out at 240 degrees (check engine light comes on) but the thing is not overheating. Ive replaced the Coolant Sending unit three times, thinking I had a bad unit. Any suggestions?
#1314 of 1492 Re: recall [gmcjoe] by wingsh00ter Jan 27, 2006 (12:35 pm)
Replying to: gmcjoe (Jan 08, 2006 4:25 pm) The latest: I brought my truck to the GMC dealer and paid for the 2nd opinion. Told them I brought it to Chevy dealer and they could not fix the sensor without hub replacement. Had them check the sensors. They called me later and said the sensors where clean, but the mount surface was not. It cost me $160. GMC told me to submit to Gm for reimbursement. Got the check today.   Went to Chevy dealer and asked for an explanation why the GMC dealer fixed the issue without having to replace the hub assembly. They did not have a good answer. I may file a formal complaint against that dealer if the ABS issue does not reappear. I felt like I was getting rooked. But your email sounds like the hub assembly can be an issue.   Not sure what luck you will have in getting reimbursed if you did your own work.   Class Action has been opened in Ill. You can call Jim Smith (312) 372-8822 if you want to be added to Class Action.   GM may have to issue a recall on the hub eventually. Don't give up.   Good luck and I will let you know if it resurface,   Norm
