#934 of 1492 Steering Shafts by bonrea Feb 04, 2005 (4:52 am)
The problem as I have come to know it is the "intermediate" steering shaft has a possible design flaw and the dealers (according to other posts here) have supposed to have received a newly designed unit for them to replace the defective ones with. I don't know the full story but I have been reading about it in the forum threads for over a year. Do a search for steering and see what comes up.   When I make a turn to the left it feels (in the steering wheel) like little bumps or knocks like the joints are not working correctly.   If anyone has any information on how to get the dealer to replace the shaft please post it here. Warranty or otherwise. Replies to this message: neo6 (Feb 08, 2005 8:22 am) denn (Feb 16, 2005 3:54 pm) rangerswank (Apr 09, 2005 7:22 pm)
#935 of 1492 Dif Vortec in '99 & '01 by bonrea Feb 04, 2005 (5:06 am)
Does anyone have any information on the actual differences in the 1999 5.7L Vortec and the 2001 5.3L Vortec? I found a great looking and, seemingly great shape, 1999 4x4 Suburban on a dealer’s lot that they just took in as a trade. It has 80,000 miles and runs great. Only thing that makes me step back is the dealer is asking only $10,750 for it. Kelly Blue Book says it should be $16,000 or more.   I don't need it but if that is a good deal then I'll get it or tell you all where to find it.

Replying to: vandyu (Jan 15, 2005 10:00 am) Yes it's a known issue, and the Dealer should know exactly what the problem is by just defining the symptoms. I rarely try to tell them what needs fixing even if i know. Just describe the sypmtoms and see what they come up with, and see where it goes.

Replying to: bigfur (Feb 06, 2005 8:55 pm) Thanks bigfur. Now if I can just convince the dealer to change it out as a preventive measure. I don't want left stranded. It hasn't acted up for several weeks now, but had been in the shop twice for the same thing within a week with nothing found.   Just curious was yours under warranty?   Not to change subject, but the code read info must give them fairly detailed info as they knew how many miles ago it happened. It's starting to be a little spooky as it won't be long until they will know where it happened, what time, who was driving, how fast you are going, etc. Guess the black boxes (EDRs) already provide much info if you are in an accident.

Replying to: bonrea (Feb 04, 2005 4:52 am) The steering shafts are bad. I just had the dealer replace mine under warranty on my 03 Yukon XL. It's a popping sound I've complained about since the truck was new and the dealer couldn't "find" the issue until GM decided to come clean on the shafts.

Mine happened about 45,000miles...i just got a scan tool from the auto parts store, plugged it in and it said there was a misfire. Came on here and asked around and people told me to replace the coil pack. I did and didnt have another problem until...yup another coil pack failed.
