intermediate shaft

[THE BIGPUNN]

i posted the other day about a noise in the front suspension. yesterday i took it to a good friend who works as a supervisor at gmc service dept.. he told me a common problem with the '99 gmc sierra is the intermediate and another suspension part that i cant remember. i was just curious how many of us have had it replaced.

Yes, there have been people with 2000's with this problem.

My '99 didn't have any problem until close to 20,000 miles and the dealer replaced it with no problem or questions asked.  I've got a little over 5,000 miles in this intermetiate shaft with no noise or movement.

I have an early 2000 (3-door) Z71 and I had mine replaced around 25,000 miles, I now have 45,000 miles with no re-accurrring problems.

I also have a 3 door 2K Z71, had mine replaced at 25K, real real nice now.

I too have a 2000 3 door, and had mine replaced. Not sure about the mileage, but had no problems since with the steering shaft.

I had it done on my 99 Serria. Glad that I did, it made all the difference.
