I have a 2008 2wd Silverado /at ,5.3 when I have it in 3rd when i take off I can feel like the drive line is lagging a little it will lag and then like catch .Any one have that same problem?

 

Also when I have it in drive and I'm at a stop light after awhile it feels like some one bumped into me.

Any one have that problem.

 

Thanks Doug

This has been a common issue for years....

 

Subject: Clunk Noise at Stop or from Launch (Clean/Lubricate Rear Propshaft Slip Yoke Splines)

 

 

Models: 2007-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series

 

2008-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe 1500 Series

 

2007-2009 GMC Sierra 1500 Series

 

2008-2009 GMC Yukon, Yukon XL 1500 Series

 

Equipped with 4WD (RPO NQG, NQH)

 

 

 

Attention: This contains a procedure to clean/lubricate the rear propshaft slip yoke splines and replace, if necessary. Check the history on this vehicle. If the lubrication procedure has been performed previously, then continue on and replace the transfer case rear output shaft.

 

 

Condition

Some customers may comment on a bump feel or clunk noise at a stop or on launch. Customers may also comment that the bump feel or clunk is noticed after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and that it feels as if the vehicle was bumped from behind.

 

Cause

This condition may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the rear propshaft slip yoke and the transfer case rear output shaft splines. Braking to a complete stop can force the propshaft slip yoke forward into the transfer case while the vehicle rebounds slightly backward after stopping its momentum.

 

Correction

Note: The clunk noise may also be due to fuel movement in the fuel tank when not completely full. If the condition is eliminated after filling the fuel tank, the noise is isolated to the fuel movement in the tank. Please make no repair attempts, as this noise is considered an operating characteristic.

 

Verify the customer's concern.

 

Clean/Lubricate Rear PropShaft Slip Yoke Splines

•Remove the rear drive shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI.

•Inspect the rear propshaft slip yoke splines.

Note: Protect the transfer case rear seal from Brake Clean.

 

•Clean the rear propshaft slip yoke splines with Brake Clean or equivalent and a shop towel.

•Assure that the splines are free of rust or other foreign material.

•Lubricate the spline with Automatic Transmission Fluid, P/N 88861003 (in Canada, 88861004).

•Reinstall the rear drive shaft. Refer to One-Piece Propeller Shaft Replacement in SI.

•Road test the vehicle and verify that the noise is gone.

•If the vehicle has a repeat concern after lubricating the slip yoke splines, replace the rear output shaft.

Replace Transfer Case Rear Output Shaft

Note: Do Not replace the output shaft unless the cleaning and lubrication procedure is ineffective.

 

•Remove the transfer case assembly. Refer to Transfer Case Assembly Replacement in SI.

•Disassemble the transfer case. Refer to Transfer Case Disassemble in SI.

•Replace the transfer case rear output shaft. Refer to the Parts Information below.

•Assemble the transfer case.

•Reinstall the transfer case assembly.

This is the first time I've actually read the TSB, and have a question. I have read recommendations in numerous posts to "grease the slip yoke", but the TSB states to "clean and lubricate with transmission fluid". Did I misunderstand something?

No,You read it right,I actually didn't realize they want you to use tranny fluid either til I read this particle TSB,We always used a special slip yoke spline grease before.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but would that service bulletin be covered under warranty? As I am experiencing this sensation of being hit from behind while stopped.

 

Im not sure how these bulletins work.. if its stuff that should be done for free or if the customer has to pay for the service. Im only at 80,000 km and my warranty is good till 160k

Do you have the actual bulletin number for this? I need to show this to the service guy at the stealership i bought my truck from. he played dumb when I told him about a clunk when at a complete stop and only mentioned the well known launch/stop clunk

 

Theyre very eager to take my money.. but I'm not paying for something that should be free

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
