| i have a 99 silverado z-71 ext.cab.in temps below 40deg. there seems to be a drag or loss of power.goes away in warmer temps.i think it might be the front diff. but am not sure if i should put the syn. stuff in.the dealer recommends the 80-90 still.any ideas on what else to look at before i go trying the syn. stuff | |
| Like everyone else, my 4x4 Tbox is acting up.Does anyone have a punch list to trouble shoot the probblem?I dont want to just start buying parts.I fix elevators for a living so using meter is no biggy,also own factory manuals,And have spent a good part of my life twisting wrenches. | |

Can anyone tell me the real differences between the different suspensions offered by Chevy on the 2007 models. I know the Z71 has heavier shocks, etc. But I am mostly curious about the Z60. What exactly does "performance" suspension mean? I am about to order a new truck and will mostly do road driving but will occasionally get off road. Will the Z60 be able to handle that? I do like the 20" rims but don't want to sacrifice toughness to get it. Thanks for any advice. Eric

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 |

Replying to: ak_gringo (Dec 06, 2006 10:19 pm) Z83 Solid Smooth Ride: rear twin tube shocks and 32mm front stabilizer bar. This suspension offers the softest ride. Z85 Handling/Trailering: rear monotube shocks and 34mm front stabilizer bar. Z71 Off Road: rear monotube high pressure gas shocks and 34mm front bar. 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. |
