Jingle jingle underneath only in 2wd

Dilemma....

 

I have the effected front end (I verified the RPO codes with my build sheet). If I go under the truck I can move the CV driveshaft just like the one in the video.

 

My dilemma is that my truck has never made a peep. No jingle, no clanking...nothing. I've got 14,500 miles on it. However, I worry that 1) it will start making noises at some point and 2) that the slop/play in the shaft can't be good for the drivetrain longevity.

 

Should I ask my dealer to fix and how should I go about it? I would like to read the bulletin. If anybody has it please post.

According to the service manager at my dealership, GM has a bulletin out for a fix for the jingle. They are replacing seals and rings in the front as well as the driveshaft. Parts are on their way from Michigan. He said they got notified last night about the fix! 

 

Do you have the bulletin number or some "key words" ie, jingle, clang, etc,  that will assist my service writer in finding this bulletin?

Same axle, same movement and same lack of noise. I’ll get it fixed, but wait awhile for the tech to ge fluent in the repair.

If you’re not hearing anything then I don’t see why you wouldn’t at least wait until some of the other guys here report back that are going forward with the repair to make sure this is going to do it. I doubt waiting 2-3 weeks is going to take that much more away from the longevity than your mileage already might have. I hope that makes some sort of sense, in addition to what was pointed out about the techs getting familiar with the repairs.

 

Just think about what all has been done with the clunking on the 8 speed tranny up to this point & GM is basically still playing a guessing game (or just plain playing dumb) with all that crap.

I totally agree with the waiting thing. I've been following this thread since it's inception but haven't posted until a fix was in simply because I didn't have any of the same symptoms you guys have had.

 

I'm just worried that if I bring it in there without it making noise GM is not going to approve a warranty repair. That's why I'm curious to read the actual wording of the TSB.

I understand. My dealership is pretty good about honoring the bulletins. It should mention the specific axle RPO (SU4) and for my dealer that would probably be enough for them to fix it. I would think the play in it alone would be enough.

Anyone have their truck fixed yet? 

 

How long did the repair take? Did it work? Does the axle/differential connection feel solid (not move) in 2WD?

My dealership was not allowed to order my parts to fix it because I had filed a complaint with the BBB. Irony at its finest. I’ve had transmission problems as well as lifters collapsing and a minor seat rattle. Wanted a buyback but have been turned down twice. If I was GM I wouldn’t want to buy my truck back either. I have zero confidence in GM taking care of their customers. This purchase has been a nightmare

So now they wont fix it all?  Do you have to wait until the BBB claim is over?  what happens if the truck has some sort of failure that leaves it undriveable?

That is against the law, even if you have a lawyer hired and pursuing Lemon Law, they still have to fix the truck, especially if a fix becomes available like this.  I would take all of this and go get a good Lemon Law lawyer and you'll be squared away.

I have been in touch with an attorney and I guess I'm hoping GM will make it right without having to go that route.  I more than have enough prerequisites to go the lemon law way and I can't figure why GM wouldn't just get me a new truck instead of turning me against them and losing a customer.  Now I just want my money back and get out of my loan with GM.  I loved all my Silverados but will most likely never buy another one.

Do you know what the parts consist of?

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
