Hey all I have a problem that I cannot get fixed. I have had the vehicle to the dealer 3 times and they cannot find the problem. Here are the symptoms. When I apply the brakes, the truck starts bouncing in the front end. I have replaced the rotors and brake pads and the ball joints are supposedly good. Had them checked out the last time in, and I was told they are ok. I have bought new upper and lower to replace the old ones, but was told it would be a waste of money. So I guess my question is, should I go ahead and have them replaced anyways, and also have the steering link replaced along with the front end bushings?? Anyone ever come across this problem??? The truck has 190K miles on it and the ball joints are the originals, but I do grease them, along with the rest of the lube points, with every oil change.

| HI--I purchased a lightly used 2004 Sierra off of a GMC dealer about 6 weeks ago. It has the big block 496 and the Allison 5 speed and is very fun to drive and I assume that come camping season it will pull my camper effortlessly. In the last couple of days though I have noticed that if I lightly apply the throttle from a dead stop I get this minor thump or thunk. I have asked people riding if they have felt or heard it and nobody notices it. It is there and I certainly notice it---so my question is whether anybody else has this combo and notices it or whether it is "normal" with these Allisons. It almost feels like what a bad u joint would do...... I have also read alot about the torque converter bolts loosening on these trucks. Hellllllllllllllllllllppppppp I love the truck but don't want any trouble on a 4 year old rig with 40,000 miles. | |
