Hey guys I recently noticed that when i push up on the driveshaft near the transfer case I hear a click coming from inside the transfer case itself.. Is this something that is normal or just another GM only issue? I am still looking for the reason why the truck starts vibrating at around 65 and get noticeably intense at 80-85. I have already replaced Tires, u-joints, and entire Rear-End. I guess i am just looking for something to place blame on next lol. If this clicking noise is not normal can i get an aftermarket rebuildkit or something stronger than OEM? I am not very happy with the quaility of parts so far on this truck and would rather go for aftermarket... Thx in advance all input is appreciated

I'd take the truck somewhere that specializes in drive trains and have them look it over.

 

It would be kind of hard for any of us to help without being able to hear and see it.

 

Wish I had more. Sorry.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

 

<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1962218&psdid=147&evc=sm#ss1-1962218">

Condition/Concern:

Oil pump wear clip P/N 12470559 is broken or out of position. This may cause the pump to wear a pin hole in the transfer case rear half. If the wear is severe the transfer case may be damaged due to lack of lubrication. The clip may fatigue and break. The clip may become loose and shift out of position.

 

<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1962218&psdid=147&evc=sm#ss2-1962218">

Recommendation/Instructions:

A new clip design has been released. P/N 89059653 is available for both production and service. This new part totally cancels and supersedes the former P/N 12470559. Only the new clip will be available.

 

This new oil pump wear clip should be used whenever a transfer case is opened for any type of internal service. See photo. GMSPO currently has inventory of the new part.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

 

<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=2046711&psdid=147&evc=sm#ss1-2046711">

Condition/Concern:

Beam shake vibration is usually felt in the seat and occurring at speeds between 40-50 mph (64 - 80 km/h). Hertz readings using an EVA tool are normally between 8-24 Hz. This condition is most common on extended cab and crew cab models but has also been noted in other models.

 

<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=2046711&psdid=147&evc=sm#ss2-2046711">

Recommendation/Instructions:

The severity of beam shake may vary from vehicle to vehicle. To determine if the concern is beam shake, please perform the following:

 


  1. <LI type=1>Test drive vehicle to confirm the condition. A beam shake condition will usually respond to concrete type pavements more than asphalt, so the vehicle should be driven over both surfaces if possible.
  2. Place 200-500 pounds in the pickup bed between the closed tailgate and the wheel wells. A beaming condition should dissipate.

Note: Tires with excessive Radial Force Variation (RFV) or out-of-roundness can intensify the frame beaming concern. The following radial force variation numbers should be used as a guide:

 

P-Metric tires (2wd 1500) 12 lbs or less

 

P-Metric tires (all others) 24 lbs or less

 

LT-tires 30 lbs or less

 

If the concern is determined to be beam shake, this is a characteristic of the vehicle and currently no repair attempts should be made. GM Engineering is currently working on reducing this concern for the light duty 1500 Crew and Extended Cab Models. There will be no changes made to the 1500 regular cab, 1500HD, 2500 or 3500 models.

 

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

 

<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=2044877&psdid=147&evc=sm#ss1-2044877">

Condition/Concern:

Groan, growl, or moan coming from the vehicle when operating the vehicle in four wheel drive.

 

<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=2044877&psdid=147&evc=sm#ss2-2044877">

Recommendation/Instructions:

The vibration that is heard or felt is a result of the front axle being excited to resonance at its natural frequency. This is a combination of: the transfer case chain link frequency, engine firing frequency, tire circumference variation, and various other tolerances built into the 4WD system.

 

 

ADDITIONAL NOTE #1:

A groan, growl or moan noise on deceleration while in 4WD is also the result of loading the transfer case chain which is an operating characteristic. This is just one example of a transfer case link frequency as noted above.

 

 

ADDITIONAL NOTE #2:

On certain models, such as 3/4 and 1 ton vehicle, tire pressures can vary from front to rear based on the manufacturer's specifications. As an example the manufacturer's specifications for tire pressures on a 03 K2500 Suburban are front: 50 PSI, rear: 80 PSI.

 

The difference in tire pressures affects the rolling tire circumference from front to rear which can increase driveline noise while in 4WD which is an operating characteristic.

 

For test purposes, drop the tire pressure in the rear to match the front. If the noise is reduced or eliminated this confirms the difference in tire pressures from front to rear can affect the noise when operated in 4WD. Set the rear tire pressure back to the manufacturer's specification. For vehicles with same tire pressures front to rear, swap tires from an identically built vehicle that does not seem to exhibit the concern and re-evaluate both vehicles.

 

No repairs are recommended for this condition.

 

For more information regarding driveline noises while in four wheel drive refer to the latest version of TSB 01-04-18-001D.

 

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?
