Almost up for warranty Dealership trip?

wranglerguy93 · May 14, 2014

Truck has been great for the almost three years I've had it. I have noticed some stuff lately that I would like looked at or at least figure out if its worth taking in. I did all my own maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations as long as I've had it.

I am almost up on my 3 yr 36,000 mile warranty. Does anyone take them in for TSB's right before just to have it fixed? Some issues I have been having

Passenger rear door top panel is rattling. I thing my dog jumping up and sticking his head out caused this. I will end up fixing it I think somehow.

There's some sort of low speed whine from the front end at 20-30 MPH. Not sure what that is.

Rear end clunk. Is it worth checking out just to have it come back in a month from greasing it.

Thanks all for the help.

See if they will replace the slip yoke with the nickel one.

They won't automatically preform TSBs. All a TSB does is outline the proper repair for given issue.

Did not know they actually had a fix for it besides just grease.

If you have what you think are warranty issues by all means take it in. Even if they don't repair something you may get on record with a problem that might get worse shortly after your warranty expires. I'm not saying they will fix that either but at least you would have some history of a problem.

Yep thats the fix all right. You could always pull the slip yoke out, sand it, pack the splines with marine heavy duty grease and put it back in. Thats a cheap 3 month fix

Truck is at the dealership.

The front whine noise was teh front bearings in the differential that went bad. I think the truck has only ever seen a dirt road and maybe a field going to a concert.

The "clunk" is apparently normal GM says. Asked about the TSB and they said it was normal. Been on this site for three years and read up on it and I know its not normal and there is a fix. They took out another truck line mine and it did the same thing. Any way around this? I'm going to find the TSB and bring it to them.
