I'm borrowing a family members 2002 GMC Sierra 4x4 reg cab short bed (I think) with 81k miles and the 6cyl engine for the winter. Up to what speed can I switch between 2wd and 4wd high? The steering is a little loose on center... I can waggle the steering wheel a few inches either way on center without the vehicle veering left or right, is this "loose" steering normal with these trucks? I used to own a 99 Ford Ranger and the steering was alot tighter... Finally, there's a little shimying in the steering wheel at cruising speeds... the truck was aligned a few months back, so I guess that could be unbalanced tires, bad tire pressure, or that it needs re-alignment right? Thanks! |

Replying to: bob7198 (Mar 23, 2006 10:15 am) Parts Repaced: Dash Switch and 4WD Frt Axle Actuator Current Symptoms: 1. Defaults to 4HI after I switch the ignition on 5 sec off 5 sec then on 10 sec.,will also switch to Auto 4WD. 2. Depressing dash buttons runs 4WD Frt Axle Actuator with whining then vibrating grinding noise at end of cycle. Acts like the actuator is trying to shift gears but overloads, then shuts down when trying to switch to 2Hi or 4Low. I Checked fuses, left side drivers door and ATV under hood, OK. Low Fluid level possible ? PART NUMBER LISTING BELOW http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/ GM PART # 15709327 - SWITCH DASH/IP $50.00 APX. GM PART # 26060073 - ACTUATOR PART NUMBER $84.57 |

Also includes jounce bumpers, skid plates, high capcity air cleaner, and locking rear diff. Z60 High Perf.: rear monotube shocks and 36mm front bar. Max Trailering Pkg.: same as Z60 plus high capacity rear springs. Best for towing large trailers. Hope that helps. |
