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.

Recall was about corrosion on front wheel ABS sensor that could cause ativation of ABS at very low speed .check with your dealer

I've seen a TSB concerning low-speed antilock activation in the US, but haven't seen a recall yet. I have a 2000 Sierra with less than 20k miles and it's doing it intermittently. Connected an AC voltmeter to the ABS sensor leads (per the TSB) and one read much lower than the other. Just picked up a complete front hub assembly today for about $300. I hope that does the trick. If a recall is issued in the US, possibly I will be able to get reimbursed, similar to the tailate support cable recall. If anyone has more information on a recall for this issue, please post. Thanks.

2004 GMC Sierra 4WD Z71 drive train 14K miles by bed
Feb 15, 2005 (6:17 am)
Last night while in cruise control the "service 4WD" message came on and the indicators lights on the select buttons all went out. Truck drove OK and stayed in 2WD but I could not change into Auto or 4WD. Let set overnight and it seemed to have "rebooted" and was fine this morning. Anyone else had this happen? Will have dealer check next time in. Also, still have clunking in drive train. Not sure if it is in the transmissin, drive shaft, rear end? My 01 did the same thing. Noise is more pronounce on light acceleration. Ideas? I saw the Sierras were supposed to be recalled with a brake problem. I called dealer and they didn't know anything about it.

Button that allows outside air in the cab by repairman9
Feb 16, 2005 (11:12 am)
I recently traded in my 01' GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab for a 05' GMC Sierra 2500HD crew cab with the 8.1 liter gas engine.
 
Something I am finding annoying is the dash button that controls whether outside air is circulated in the cab or not does NOT remember it's setting from one start to another LIKE IT DID in my 01' Sierra. It always defaults to letting outside air in. This wouldn't normally be a problem unless you're behind a diesel cement truck or near a dead skunk first thing in the morning on the way to work which occurs on a daily basis. It's not until you realize this and the cab is full of diesel exhaust and you push the button to lock all that lovely exhaust in the cab.
 
But seriously, this is really annoying. Why did they change this behavior? More importantly, how do I fix it so it remembers between starts OR how can I get it to default to closed (no outside air circulation).
 
Thanks for any help,
-Mark
