My 99 k1500 is going in monday for the seatbelt and brake line recalls. It has a rattle in the area of the steering column and I remember someone mentioning a TSB about this. Can anyone help me out with info on this.

I was going to post the 'crackeregg' TSB website for this fellow, but when I went to it, it comes up as a bad url.  Does anyone know if the site has moved or has been otherwise closed down??

I thought I put the TSB's I had done on my thread down there, but I guess not :stupid:

00-02-35-003 is the one for the steering column, I think. I'd go out to NHTSA's website, though, to confirm!

NHTSA just had e few safety items. Alldata had descriptions of all TSB's but you have to pay $24.95 for the whole story. I was surprised at how many TSB's are on the '99.

There are 2 TSB's for the steering column. They're both for the same symptom : Clunking noise under the hood that can be felt in the steering wheel. First Chevy came out with TSB # 00-02-35-003. This calls for the replacement of the upper intermediate steering shaft assembly with a newly designed upper intermediate steering shaft assembly Part# 26085548. After this they came out with TSB 00-02-35-003A which relaced 00-02-35-003. This TSB wants you to lubricate the upper intermediate shaft instead of replacing it. The lubrication kit is Part# 26098419 (Chevy wants to save $$ ) Hope the info will help you.

I just took them the TSB number that pertained to replacing the steering shaft, and that's what they did. Hopefully, you can do the same thing and just have them replace it, instead of lubing it.

I thought the dealer might give me some static so I wanted the TSB in hand. They didn't even test for the noise but the latest TSB says specifically not to replace the intermediate shaft anymore but to use a special grease kit. That's what they did so we'll see. He flushed the Autotrac and put the blue synthetic in and it feels better already. He proved to me that the rattle in the headliner toward the mirror was caused by the bug shield. Yep. All in all, they did good.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
