Anbody work for Chevy?

[seadoons]

I saw someone post on this board that all they needed was a VIN and they could pull up all the TSB's on a vehicle?  Can anyone do this for me?  My warranty will run out soon and I would like to make sure everything is fixed.  Also, do you know if Chevrolet will fix the slip yoke problem on a truck that is out of warranty?  My brother's truck has 47k on it and it does the clunk pretty bad.  Mine did the same thing...got it fixed.  Thanks.

Amazing...that is a goldmine.  Does anybody have an account where I can get the complete details of the TSB's?  It is so tempting to purchase...I see a few of them that pertain to my truck.  Thanks.

I'm wondering because I have that "clunk" between second and third gear and my parking brake goes all the way to the floor. I took it to the dealer concerning the parking brake, but the dealer said he adjusted it and informed me that alot of the parking brakes on the Tahoe models do this.

 

I would appreciate the information on these TSB so I could walk into the dealership with some ammo. Thanks ~

Noise #01-07-30-042A - (11/26/2002)

Information on 2-3 Upshift or 3-2 Downshift Clunk Noise

2003 and Prior Light Duty Trucks

 

with 4L60E or 4L65E Automatic Transmission (RPOs M30, M32)

 

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2003 model year as well as information about 3-2 downshift. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-042 (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle).

 

Some vehicles may exhibit a clunk noise that can be heard on a 2-3 upshift or a 3-2 downshift.

 

During a 2-3 upshift, the 2-4 band is released and the 3-4 clutch is applied. The timing of this shift can cause a momentary torque reversal of the output shaft that results in a clunk noise. This same torque reversal can also occur on a 3-2 downshift when the 3-4 clutch is released and the 2-4 band applied. This condition may be worse on a 4-wheel drive vehicle due to the additional tolerances in the transfer case.

 

This is a normal condition. No repairs should be attempted.
