Mine is a clicking. I don’t know how to post a video on here then I would show you. Shop can’t replicate the sound apparently which is a bummer.

Go back a few posts and see my video. You can hear mine click a few times. Does it sound like mine?

That’s my sound. Must’ve been another video I watched on the comments here.

Well an update sorta.  Thursday GM called me and told me they were going to replace my truck with a new one of equal feature.  They said they'd call me back today with details but have not heard from them.   Tried calling my rep but no answer and no returned call after leaving a couple of messages.  Thursday during the call they wanted to three way call the BBB and drop my complaint immediately. I told them no and now I'm back to being ignored it seems.  Poor customer service and it doesn't seem to bother them.  I spoke with the lady from the BBB today and she said I had eligible Lemon Law case so I guess that's the route I'm gonna have to go.  Can't believe how long this has gone on and how out of touch the people that can actually really help you are. 

I had the same issue minus the BBB stuff. I couldn't get a call back about my case, and they would screen my calls. As soon as I called from a different number my case rep would answer. They wouldn't allow me to talk to management either. Their customer service is truly a joke.

Can you pm me your dealers name and service writer's phone number and your work order number? Mine is scheduled for the jingle fix on Friday and I'll tell them it didn't fix yours, I'd like to give them the name and phone number in case they'd like to call them. I'd rather not have them do it if it doesn't fix it.

your better off letting them try to fix it. that way you have more attempts at repair documented if you decide to lemon law the truck. 

 

The dealer isn't going to care that it didn't fix someone's else's truck. They are doing this fix per what GM is telling them to do.

Exactly what ^^he^^ said let them try it out. It may fix it. It may not. It didn’t for me and probably won’t for you. However, it’s another attempt for your records. I called the dealership and Chevy and of course im waiting for a call back. I don’t remember if I asked or if this has been asked already but does this effect trailbosses as well?

Did you get the old parts or did you see them? I find it hard to believe GM would make that big of mistake. I would tend to believe the mechanics only did part of the work.

I never saw parts. Not really my job to do that. They ordered the parts that were supposed to fix the issues as per tsb. I’m waiting for call back

There are some shady things happen at some dealerships. Some caused by lazy techs. I feel for ya, but when do you call BS and enough is enough. Dumping it like I did is extremely costly. Wishing you luck!

Taking my truck in on Friday so service can go with me for drive so they can hear the.noise. What I'm reading here isn't encouraging. The jingle noise can really get on your nerves.

Does the front axle still have the movement/slop where it enters the differential?

Posted

The dealership called me today after they installed the so called FIX and it didn't work. The jingle is still present. He said he was going to call the engineer, I suggested they put a front axle made by GM, they seem to not have a problem.  My have to end up hiring a lemon lawyer

Can someone answer me this.

 

Aside from the noise, will this have long term effect if left unfixed or is it just an annoyance?

 

I have a clicking on mine with the occasional jingle, but it's almost always a click.

 

Maybe because I have a Trail Boss.

 

I think I rather deal with the click than have those morons work on it and risk messing something up.

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • 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.
