Clunking steering shaft by Bloozester

I just bought a 2002 Sierra 1500 4WD and I suppose the steering clunk is what I'm experiencing. Whenever I turn the wheel left or right at under 30 mph or so, it feels like there are little "clunks" I can feel through the steering wheel, but I don't hear anything with the window down. Especially happens over a bumpy surface. No front end shimmy or looseness that I can tell. Brakes feel smooth. Shame really as the truck only has 66K on it and is in really nice shape with no rust underneath and the interior is like new.
 
Anyway, if this is the case, how much does it cost on avg. to have a dealer replace the intermediate shaft? I'm not terribly handy when it comes to tearing into the mechanicals.
 
Thanks everyone.

Tried that at both dealers. Both said since I was the second owner they would not do it for free or for any kind of discount. I was quoted $110 for the part and $90 labor at both dealers.

Took that with me too. Showed them both. They both said if I wasn't the original owner there was nothing they could do about it.

Try calling AND writing to GMC corporate....basically harass them. I did. I don't recall them asking me if I was the original owner. Give them your local dealer's info too......meaning the preferred dealer you would like it to be fixed at. I'm pretty sure they give the "go-ahead" to them first before they tell you. Be persistent.

What is the email to Gm that is CUSTOMER SERVICE? My dealer is acting like i'm the only one that has the issue. How can you have someone from GM talk to ya?I am the original owner of the truck. Any help would be appreciated....

Power Steeering, 2004 Silverado by bstacy

I have no power steering at idle on 2004 Silverado, 2WD 5.3 Liter 4 door extended cab truck. You have to hold the brake with your left foot and press the accelerator with your right foot or put the tranny in neutral and rev the engine to get the steering wheel to turn when stopped.
Last Friday 4-10-09 not being able to steer caused me to side swipe a sign post at about 5 MPH.
The dealer Service manager said that replacing the pump and gear box "might fix the problem" for about $1000 I want more than a might. Has anyone experienced positive results from these repairs? Chevy and GM should be ashamed . It is no wonder they are bankrupt. I have been a faithful GM fan for 35 years.
