| Hi, this is my first post. i am a former Dodge service advisor so I have some mechanical experience in trucks. I currently purchased an 03 chevy Z71 ext cab with 5.3l. I have the steering shaft clunk issue. a buddy of mine got a new steering shaft put in which is just like the original. he is starting to have issues again. my suggestion is purchasing a updated heavy duty one through LMC truck catalog. it runs about $379.00 and claims to solve this issue. second, I also have the 2nd to 3rd gear shift clunk underneath my truck at low speeds or going up hills. Another buddy of mine has an 04 sierra ext cab Z71 with 5.3l and had the same issue at 22k miles. He got this issue fixed at the gmc dealer where he lives, they replaced his driveshaft with a beefier one which looks like a 2500hd shaft not sure though but definately beefier than the stock one. he now has 40k miles and says he has had no further problems. Hope this is helpful, I plan to do the same with mine and also put the steering shaft from LMC when i have the money to do so (Damn Economy!). Overall i am pleased with my truck and absolutely love the ride, though not as exciting when flooring it like a Hemi but still satisfies my needs! | |

| I have a check engine light on in my 2003 GMC sierra 2500 h.d with the allison and when I scan it a p0700 transmission code comes up and wont erase. The truck also has no reverse lights and the steering column indicator does not work, along with DIC (driver info center) could this be linked or just a coincidence. It seems to shift and operate fine. Just wondering if anybody had a issue like this or simular. | |
| My '97 chevy does not want to shift from 1st to 2nd at first, but after it does I can drive a hundred miles and its fine. This problem is getting more frequent and lasting longer everytime. If anyone knows anything I could sure use some help. Other than when I very first take off there is no hint off a problem. | |

Hey everyone. Bought a 05 Silverado 1500 5.3L last week. It has 87k on it. I am a fleet manager and I only run Chevrolets and have been proven to the durability of these trucks but I may be proven wrong with this truck. I started noticing the other day that while driving at around 45 mph, without the cruise control, the truck has a lot of bucking and jumping and vibration. Had the tires rotated and balanced today and it still seems to be getting progressively worse. I have also noticed that when driving from 40-60 without cruise, the RPM's have a lot of fluctuation... and by the way, this is annoying as crap now that I have Flow Masters! I have also started noticing that every once in a while, the transmission slips when shifting from first to second. I have never seen this kind of problem out of my trucks at work so I am stumped on where to start. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! |
