#987 of 1492 Re: 2500 HD 4x4 Transfer case problem [rawemm] by intlgrind Apr 09, 2005 (5:54 pm)
Replying to: rawemm (Feb 25, 2005 11:45 am) Same problem on my 2000 Gmc Sierra, Have used JB weld in 3 different spots already to control leaks, after close inspection of back cover which is made of magneesium, I feel they had a casting problem and the case has been casted to thin in some areas, probably a way to save money. I sure would like to find a way for gm to recall this problem it seems to very big.. any suggestions??

Replying to: denn (Feb 16, 2005 3:54 pm) Do you have a copy of the TSR or a web site or link where I could get this TSR, I have the same problem on my 02 Sierra.

Is from June 00 GM # 00-02-35-003 for the steering shaft fix from GM.   You will have to use the search function to look in the old Silverado problems thread for full description post #1543.   Unable to cut and paste here for ya!

#991 of 1492 Trans slipping when A/C running by lhelms7777 Apr 11, 2005 (8:22 am)
We have a 01 Sierra with over 60K. When the AC is running it feels like the transmission is slipping, has anyone else experienced this?   Also read about the popping or bumping noise when turning, does anyone know if the dealer will fix this even if the vehicle is out of factory warranty since there is a TSR on it?
#992 of 1492 TSBs and warranties by obyone Apr 11, 2005 (12:38 pm)
The dealer will not fix any TSB without charging for a vehicle out of warranty. A manufacturer's recall is another story.
#993 of 1492 Digital Odometer/grinding noise by hockeydawg Apr 12, 2005 (10:02 am)
I have two current issues with my '99 Sierra 1500. The digital odometer sometimes does not come on when I start the truck. Typically, if I hit the trip reset button it will come on, or over time it will return.   Also, there is a grinding noise coming from the front passenger side of the truck. At low speeds (parking lots, city corners, etc.) I hear a sound like something rolling around in my glove box or something grinding. The dealership didn't know what to tell me but "didn't think it was anything serious" because they couldn't get it to happen all the time.   Any help on either of these issues would be much appreciated.

#995 of 1492 Re: Coolant leak [obriendm] by bordox Apr 13, 2005 (7:58 pm)
Replying to: obriendm (Mar 19, 2004 9:12 am) My 98 Sierra 5.7 L developed coolant leakage at the rear of both heads and at mid-block on the left head at 93,000 miles. The problem was not with the intake manifold gasket. I pulled the heads, had them checked for warpage (there was none) and had them resurfaced. With new head gaskets and plenty of sealant at the appropriate places, I have gone several months with no recurrence of the problem. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.   One thing I don't like about the head-bolt torquing procedure is the instruction to torque each bolt to 22 ft-lbs and then to turn each short bold an additional 55 degrees, each medium bolt 65 degrees, and each long bolt 75 degrees. Seems to me you could get a lot of variation at only 22 ft-lbs for the initial tightening on bolts of that diameter, and to go from there using degrees could result in inconsistent final torque values. I'm wondering if the leakage, which occurred in short-bold areas, was due to this torquing procedure, assuming it used in the factory.

The truck is a 1994 GMC Sierra 1500 truck w/approx 170K miles on it.   I would appreciate any feedback on my problem... I have had emissions problems for a few years now as can be seen in the following emissions transcript...   Emissions Inspection 6/4/2002 Hydrocarbons (HC) – Inspection 5.3095 – Requirement 2.7000 FAIL Carbon Monoxide (CO) – Inspection 35.3126 – Requirement 60.0000 PASS Oxides of Nitrogen (Nox) – Inspection 0.4853 – Requirement 5.7000 PASS Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – Inspection 476.3944   Work Performed 8/2002 - Adjusted Timing to 0 TDC - Replace Oxygen Sensor Catalytic Converter - Replace Spark Plugs - Replace Ignition Wires - Replace Distributor Cap & Rotor - Replace PCV Valve - Replace Air Filter   Emissions Inspection 8/2002 Hydrocarbons (HC) – Inspection 0.1880 – Requirement 2.2000 PASS Carbon Monoxide (CO) – Inspection 1.9014 – Requirement 60.0000 PASS Oxides of Nitrogen (Nox) – Inspection 0.0070 – Requirement 4.2000 PASS Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – Inspection 73.1697   Emissions Inspection 7/13/2004 Hydrocarbons (HC) – Inspection 6.7361 – Requirement 2.0000 FAIL Carbon Monoxide (CO) – Inspection 62.4512 – Requirement 60.0000 FAIL Oxides of Nitrogen (Nox) – Inspection 0.3481 – Requirement 4.0000 PASS Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – Inspection 599.9200   Work Performed 11/2004 - Adjusted Timing to 0 TDC - Replace Spark Plugs - Replace Ignition Wires - Check and Clean Distributor Cap & Rotor - Replace Air Filter   Emissions Inspection 7/13/2004 Hydrocarbons (HC) – Inspection 4.6401 – Requirement 2.0000 FAIL Carbon Monoxide (CO) – Inspection 18.6279 – Requirement 60.0000 PASS Oxides of Nitrogen (Nox) – Inspection 0.2441 – Requirement 4.0000 PASS Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – Inspection 609.0446   Work Performed 11/2004 · Check and clean EGR valve. Valve seemed to be fine, but cleaned. - Two cans of GMC Top Engine Cleaner have been sprayed into carb and left to sit overnight for cleaning on two different occasions.   Still notice low throttle, low RPM miss (seems to get worse as engine temperature increases). There is a slight hesitation upon acceleration from stop. I have no noticeable problems at higher RPMs. After engine warm-up and when truck is parked, holding the accelerator slightly so that engine revs around 700 – 900 RPM (a guess), the engine will stall, revs will decrease, engine will recover and surge back to 700 –900 RPM, stall, and repeat in a cyclical manner.   I'm hoping that someone can give me an idea as to what could be the cause of my problems...I have less than two weeks before my emissions re-inspection.   I'll gladly reply if further info for diagnosis is required...Thanks Replies to this message: wolfdog (May 12, 2005 12:33 pm) damurph (May 15, 2005 10:00 am) jstrong (May 16, 2005 7:02 am) canamguy (Jun 17, 2005 10:35 am)
