#1486 of 1492 Re: I know this has been addressed already, but... [kiernan_2001] by obyone Sep 25, 2006 (9:54 pm)
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.

#1491 of 1492 intermittant "no charge" displayed by chuck252 Oct 11, 2006 (5:15 am)
I have a 2003 2500hd sierra with 6.0L. Recently the battery light is dimmly lit with the key out or with the key on. Also, while driving the light will go brite and "battery not charging" will come into the display and will only last 5 to 10 seconds at the most. The battery died a few weeks ago and it was replaced. Ihave replaced the alternator (twice). Once at the advice of GMC, he said one of the diodes were bad. The alternator is charging 14 volts all the time even when problem shows up. It seems to show up during accelerations and large gas pedal travel but I am still trying to confirm that. Anyone have any ideas? Replies to this message: p100 (Oct 12, 2006 5:32 am)

Replying to: chuck252 (Oct 11, 2006 5:15 am) Where did you get the replacement alternator from? Was it a genuine GM alternator, or one of those Auto Zone of Advance Auto parts specials? If latter, that could be your problem. The alternator needs to put out correct number of amps at the correct voltage to function properly. Proper voltage alone does not guarantee a properly functioning alternator.
