Recalls

Jersey Tahoe LT · March 28, 2003

Where can I go to find out all of the recalls on my truck? I have a slight clunk in the rear drive train. A co worker with a 98 Hoe said that his was recalled for the rear diff. The Diff fluid was not viscus enough. It was covered because it was a recall. I would like to find out ASAP since I am driving to Buffalo next week. Would like to get it all taken care of before. Thanks.

Later,

I took mine to the dealer and hey replaced the yolk with a nickel plated one. There are many post on here about it. Some say just chenging the rear end fluid from red to blue does the trick. Its just a little slack, but very annoying, makes you think the tranny is going kaput!

Yea it does. Where can I find out about the fluid?

Go with Autotrak II fluid ,Autotrak II P# 12378505. The yolk fixed alot of people on here though, but the fluid did too. And it is covered under warranty. Do a search for "smurf fluid" in engine/trans specific section over past year. I have already been throught this problem. Also, we have an Amsoil dealer here that will give ya the hook ups. The chevy dealer knows what to do. Just call them, I think this is a very common problem. Good Luck.

Thanks. I think that I will be changing all fluids. TC, Front and rear Diffs. Tranny looks good so I will keep that for now. Is it easy to change everything? Can I buy the fluids I need at a local store. I should I buy the AMSOIL here and the "Blue" from dealer? Is Autotrack II the real name for the "Smurf Fluid"?
