Funny "bump" When I Start Moving After Being Stopped.

[kcin16]

I don't really know EXACTLY how to describe this, but here goes................

 

2001 2500HD gasser, crew cab, 6.0

 

When I am sitting at a red light/stop sign, etc. & I push the gas pedal to start moving, I feel something go "bump" in the rear of the truck. It feels like there is a heavy weighted object in the bed that slides back & bumps the tailgate (yes I have checked to make sure nothing is sliding in the bed). It does not do it every time I start, but probably 90-95% of the time it does. Occassionally, if I let it roll forward or barely push the gas I don't feel it.

 

I guess tranny is first thought, but I am wondering if it might be rear-end or shocks or something like that...

 

ANY HELP/THOUGHTS are greatly appreciated!

My 04 did this as well.

 

Dealer could not duplicate it, ever.

 

So I decided that I will just destroy whatever it was and then they'll fix it.

 

Every stop light when it did it, I slammed it to the floor.

 

Odd thing is eventually it cleared itself up.

 

 

I miss my 04 HD, such a beautiful truck, but what a total piece of s*it it was. In the shop once a month for the 3 years that I had it.

Yeah, I get annoyed at it also & do the same........my problem is no warranty to cover it, so I get to foot the bill

 

It wouldn't do it when the dealership drove it????? That's typical, huh?

Not a big deal. The slip yoke on you drive shaft is sticking. You can remove the drive shaft and put grease on the splines and that will fix it. For a permanent fix there is an updated slip yoke that is nickel plated. I would lube it first and see how long it last.

I believe Chevytech007's diagnosis is correct. I had the very same problem in my 01 Silverado and removing and lubing the driveshaft yoke fixed it for good. It was quite a head scratcher but somebody in here suggested the fix.

 

10 minute fix!

[99silverado1500]

It fixed it for me for about 2 months, then it came right back, too lazy to fix it again

Try using Marine Grade wheel bearing grease inside the slpines in the yoke. (like you would use in a boat trailer wheel bearing) It stays where you put it and it only takes a little bit to do the job. Mine worked as long as I had the truck.

[99silverado1500]

I think I used like Slick 50, or a similar grease. I will buy some of that marine bearing grease and see if it gets rid of it for good. If it does I will be really really happy!! That EEP every time I start out is annoying. Now to fix the sloppy 2nd gear shift and after that its pretty close to perfect.

Ok denali bug, what are you trying to do?

[Genuinefine409]

My 2002 2500HD CC does the same thing, I just assumed it was driveline slope cause it only does it from a stop. My friend has a 2004 F250 Super Duty CC that does the exact same thing and the dealer told him its driveline slop from everything having a little freeplay and when you stop it's all one way and when you go to pull out you feel all the freeplay at once. Beats me though, I'm going to try greasing the slip yoke.

Well for my sake I hope it solves it! Can't guarantee it but it sure fixed mine. It was quite annoying and I was glad to finally find out what it was. (and that it wasn't a serious problem) I originally thought I had trans issues.

[Zembonez]

umm

 

I think Denali_bug has the hiccups!

[99silverado1500]

I used high temp bearing grease, not sure if its marine grade,but we will see how long it lasts with no noise. Previous record was 1 month. See if this can do any better.
