#1387 of 1492 Re: 2500 HD 4x4 Transfer case problem [intlgrind] by 2000z71blk Apr 18, 2006 (1:04 pm)
Replying to: intlgrind (Apr 09, 2005 6:54 pm) I agree with you I have a 2000 GMC Sierra the transfer case just emptied out. Not sure what the issue is. If it's cracked I'm gonna be bull----. If it's the seals I can deal with it. I had no warning at all the fluid just dumped out of the tranfer case when I parked it. I had it put up on the wrecker with the rear facing the pavement and it completly dumped out.... Replies to this message: geo9 (Apr 18, 2006 8:45 pm) geo9 (Apr 19, 2006 6:36 am)

Replying to: 2000z71blk (Apr 18, 2006 1:04 pm) BLK............ I know EXACTLY what you are gonna find ! A wear thru hole in the case itself. It wears from the inside OUT !!!!!!! This is a known NPG tran. case prob. and is well noted on a few GM truck sites along with pics and cures...............   Some guys use JB Weld, another guy used a pan screw along with a washer and sealer. Will dig up link for ya ! Replies to this message: geo9 (Apr 19, 2006 6:36 am)

Replying to: geo9 (Apr 18, 2006 8:45 pm) Heres a link to pics of the GM trans. case link. Is yours there? There are others posted elsewhere with fixes but this is the most common area for the wear thru leak......... http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40876&hl=transfer+case+link

Replying to: keefe1 (Mar 06, 2006 12:10 pm) Hey keefe1, each time they cut your rotors and drums it lessens the life of it. Also too much cutting of the front rotors will cause them to heat up and warp a lot faster. I'd contact the GMC Consumer Relations Manager at 1-800-426-8782.If this doesn't help contact the Better Business Bureau. Just stick to it and be persistant.(Good Luck).
#1392 of 1492 Re: Brake pad and rotor replacement [obyone] by mailman2 Apr 21, 2006 (5:44 am)
Replying to: obyone (Apr 18, 2006 11:34 am) Had rotors and pads all around. Cost $700. I was there when they took everything off. Could not believe that GM would allow such crap to be installed on their trucks. The rotors were pitted and rusted and the pads were chewed up. I am light on the pedal so it's not abuse. Only 40,000 miles 2001 Z-71. The pads are lifetime and rotors are 1 year but if they rust up, he'll replace them free. GM's rotors rust up in the lot. Looked at a new truck and the rotors are rusted. Salesman said the rust will come off when you start to drive it. YEAH RIGHT Replies to this message: geo9 (Apr 21, 2006 3:22 pm) mailman2 (Apr 21, 2006 3:36 pm)
#1393 of 1492 Re: Brake pad and rotor replacement [mailman2] by geo9 Apr 21, 2006 (3:22 pm)
Replying to: mailman2 (Apr 21, 2006 5:44 am) Mail.....ALL rotors on a lightly driven vehicle will show some sort of "rust" on the wear face. Water or moisture will show "rust" on ANY untreated iron or steel surface. A bit of driving will wear the "rust" off.   Here in snow and salt land severe rust will form between the front and back wear surfaces in the heat "slots".   Are your brakes pulsing or giving you any other problems?   Rotors????...yea the price varies greatly. Just put a set on my girls s-blazer.........$39 bucks each. Made in china of course................ Full sizer 6 or 8 bolt rotors get $pendy quick !!!!!!!

Replying to: geo9 (Apr 21, 2006 3:22 pm) Brakes did not feel different. Had the abs sensors replaced under recall. Had them turned a couple years back because of rust. Ever since then, pad wear was going faster than usual. It is better not to have GM's rotors as The same problem would occur

Replying to: 2000z71blk (Apr 18, 2006 1:10 pm) 2000.....take a trip over to the dieselplace.com. A big thread and pics over there about the trans. case leak/wear-thru issues..............

Replying to: obyone (Apr 16, 2006 9:35 pm) You're right to point that out about HID. I think George and I are confusing HID with Halogen. A quick look at the McMaster-Carr catalogue shows there are four types of HID (High Intensity Discharge); Mercury Vapor, Low-pressure Sodium, High-pressure Sodium, and Metal Halide. They all have a long restart and warm-up period so, if they're actually used in automotive applications someone here may be able to inform. Their use is mainly for area lighting, and yes, they are pricey; You can easily pay $100 for one bulb. And as far as the 'no touchy rule' for Halogen, I've seen it on 120V applications, but I'm not sure if it applies to low voltage applications. There's no warning on the Silvania packaging.   I'm intrigued about your comment on the Denali fogs. Not being familiar with there look, do you know if the 2002's are interchangeable with the same year Silverado?   -David Replies to this message: obyone (Apr 24, 2006 4:09 pm)
