Replying to: odqlesz (Sep 13, 2006 3:39 pm) my truck had the same problems it was the positive post had a loose inside the battery move the cable it would start. try another battery and clean the cables good at any rate i think your problem is in the battery or cables not getting good connection. I know you have already done this, but try it again might be suprized.                            bobby Replies to this message: wolfsroad68 (Sep 24, 2006 6:38 pm) brp1 (Sep 25, 2006 7:38 am)

Replying to: brp1 (Sep 24, 2006 11:00 am) My 98 3500 Sierra has he same problem. Initally, it was a bad positive battery terminal, but I think after some time that also affected the positive cable.   I replaced the battery, but the problem has persisted. I usually just have to adjust the cable a little and tighten it, then the truck starts ok for awhile. I will be replacing the cable when I have a little more time.   Manny Replies to this message: brp1 (Sep 25, 2006 7:38 am)
#1484 of 1492 I know this has been addressed already, but... by kiernan_2001 Sep 25, 2006 (6:41 am)
I have a 2003 GMC sierra that I love. I has 47000 miles on it and just recently started with the steering rattle. I took it in to get it aligned and that seemed to have made it worse. I had a 2000 silverado that developed the same problem and I took it to the shop many times. "It is just the way the truck drives... they all do that."   I have read all the strings on this board about replacing the intermediate steering shaft and would like to know if this still applies to 2003's. The only TSB that I have seen posted on this site is one from 2000. If I don't get this fixed, I may go crazy. Any info would be appreciated.

Replying to: wolfsroad68 (Sep 24, 2006 6:38 pm) had the problem with my cable, I just cleaned it real good and put a copper between the two cables with some good lub so it would stop getting corroded no problem in two years.   now I have a new problem with my 96 Sierra, any ideas before I have it towed.   the starter turns over fine, no run the fuel pump runs. getting fuel on the rail. pulled #1 done comp test 150lbs. put the plug on the #1 wire it's firing. put some gas in the intake still no run pulled the cap and rotor button looks good   tell me something good thanks

Replying to: kiernan_2001 (Sep 25, 2006 6:41 am) The 2003's were to get an updated shaft. This never happened and the fix is listed as grease it and good to go for another 10k or so. I guess GM has other more pressing problems as this intermediate shaft issue started in '99 and continues today in '06. How's that for product consistency?   I have a '02 Denali which had the problem. The fix? I lowered the front end 1" and no more slack in the steering shaft.

Replying to: obyone (Sep 25, 2006 9:54 pm) Thanks for the info. I saw a link on a website, maybe this one, to GMDIESELTECH.COM. He sells a grease kit for the shaft for $15. I think that I will give that a try before I go a lower my front end. Too much snow where I am from to do that. I will let you know how it works... Thanks again
#1488 of 1492 2006 sierra crew cab bounce or shake 40mph+ by vickery8 Oct 02, 2006 (6:28 pm)
I just purchased a 2006 gmc sierra crew cab 2wd, and it has a terrible shake or bounce at 40mph and beyond. Smooths out slightly at higher speeds. Bought truck brand new and have already replaced tires with michelins as I always do. Has any else ran into this problem? Replies to this message: truck7 (Oct 03, 2006 4:12 am)

Replying to: vickery8 (Oct 02, 2006 6:28 pm) I have a 2006 crew as well that has had a long history of vibration. Mine started at 70 to 75 mph. My dealer has replaced tires, rear shocks, all brake drums, rotors, pads, and shoes. Nothing worked. Finally, I discovered that if I used the parking brake periodically, the vibration went away. Mine was in the rear brakes. There is a technical bulletin dated June 06 that has a replacement for the rear brake adjusters that fixes a problem with the rear brakes over tightening themselves. This causes them to rub ever so slightly and in my case caused the vibration. By using the parking brake, I was re adjusting them to the proper clearance.
