What's this bulls#$t that they are on back order? My 03 GMC HD has the "knocking" noise and I know what it is. I have owned 2 previous NBS pickups(I went through hell with my 99 because back then they had no clue what it was). I talked to the service manager at my local dealership and he said there is a "new design"(yeah right) and they are all on backorder. He had no idea how long though. Is anyone on this forum waiting for one too? Does anyone have a clue as to how long it could be before these "new pieces of crap" start showing up? Boo to GM for a horrible design that they have not been able to fix in six years.

I had heard that the "back-order" may be up to 6 weeks...

 

I wish I could get one but my truck went out of warranty this past summer...

Just went through the same ordeal on my mom's Suburban. I called ahead to make sure the shaft was in stock, and they said yes. Got there and they told me "oh that shaft is on national backorder." Figures, anyway they told us 2-3 weeks before it would come in. We got a call yesterday, 10 days after first visit, and the shaft is supposedly in, we will see tommorrow.

My '04 2500HD went in this past Wednesday for that annoying knocking in the steering. I wasn't too pleased that the noise started with less that 8,000 on the truck. They had to order it, we'll see how long it takes to get it in....

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
