A special thank you to Ryan for the copy of the GM letter, all it took was a verification of my VIN # and the part is on it's way.

 

Thanks again,

Hmmm...  I wonder what is in my '01 HD???  Do you think I should take a look???  Would the HD's be the same (probably) ???

:)    I sent off my card for the flexible crank.  If anybody wants mine, let me know.  My oversize spare tire will not fit in the carrier, so I have no use for the crank.

This goes with my other post (Spare Tire Question).  I knew I remebered reading something about the TSB not that long ago.  I even put a post on this topic.

Sent mine in months ago - still haven't received it even after it was supposedly "expidited." Waiting on info from Chevy as to where it is. What scared me is that they basically said that "if we've sent it out than it's not our problem". Dealer said he can't get it (no part number). Fortunately I was able to borrow one long enough to get the tire out - it now rides in my bed but I'm getting seriously PO'd at Chevrolet.

 

Maybe they'll get it to me. I'm gonna start climbing the chain of command soon (talk to CS person's supervisor, then their supervisor, etc.) May wind up in Lansing with a lead pipe! (just kidding).

 

Has anyone tried modifying the winch so that you can use the regular extensions? Looks like a little precision work with a crowbar would get it done, but I'm not gonna do that unless I have to.

 

Thanks everyone for your help.

Did this affect the '01's?

 

It sure did. I brought our truck in with the TSB from AllData

and the Dealer installed the correct brace kit. What the brace kit basically does is raise the tube so that the tool will engage the drive in order to lower the spare.

I'm still fighting over the nickel plated rear yoke after the lube

on the OEM yoke started the "squack" noise after two weeks.

I'm ready to chuck the original yoke in the drill press, bore it in the center of the spline, tap the hole for a grease zerk, and make the truck a twelve point chassiss lube at regular service intervals. What do you think? I'll take nude digital photos, + draw a print.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      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

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      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”.
