I have a 05 Tahoe Z71 w/ 70k miles. I just found out that the transfer case needs to be replaced. Is this Common or are their any recalls? I was told it will cost me $2100
#11 of 16 2004 Chevrolet Suburban Transmission Problems by alphacharlie1 Feb 09, 2009 (7:41 pm)
I have 48,000 on my '04 Suburban, today while driving it just all of a sudden made grinding/fluttering sound and then fell out of gear. The engine revs fine and there is no fluid leaking anywhere. I worked it through all the gears but it would not move forward. I had to have it towed. Any opinions on what might be the cause of this? Replies to this message: kiawah (Feb 10, 2009 10:25 am)

Replying to: alphacharlie1 (Feb 09, 2009 7:41 pm) Replace the broken part in the transmission, most likely.

Replying to: andrew1968 (Feb 14, 2007 12:33 pm) I have a 04 burb and noticed a similar noise last night. I pulled the wheel feeling it was a defective break pad. I checked the pad it was ok but I noticed a lot of play with the rotor. I suspect a bad bearing. I am going to have it checked this week.

Replying to: dave205 (Apr 01, 2009 6:09 pm) After replacing transmission as many times as you have it does not sound like it really is a transmission problem.   It could be that when they bolt it on you have axial forces between transmission input shaft and torque converter, which then cause bearings fail in transmission, or something similar.   Car shops just keep replacing the transmission but the root cause probably is with bad fit / tolerance between the transmission and engine block / torque converter.   Also need to make sure the drive shaft from transmission to rear differential is not axially loaded.   Arrie Replies to this message: dave205 (Apr 04, 2009 9:22 am)

Replying to: arrie (Apr 03, 2009 5:53 am) I actually had the tahoe at the dealer for two days and they can't replicate the problem(transmissions was slipping so much that I was not driveable when I dropped it off). they even dropped the pan to look for metal and wear(which is how they found my 2nd failed transmission---at my request). the 1st and 3rd transmissions just completely failed with no warning signs--both within 5 mins of driving after start up. one of the techs even drove it personally for two days. I have it back and it seems to be running fine---for now. I wonder if it is a computer issue--the service 4wd did come on for a few minutes when it was running really badly. I will let the dealer know on monday what you had suggested(thanks)
