Remove drive shaft, put GM prop grease in the end of the drive shaft that goes into the transmission, then replace drive shaft.

... GM prop grease ...

Is this a "special" grease that is unique for this condition?

Or is this similar to blinker fluid?

 

I found these instruction on how to change your blinker fluid.

Don't know why my icon did not show. This is very normal for GM, it has been going on since the late 1980's. I've had many trucks and Suburbans since then and some do it and some don't.

 

I just know the fix if it does do it.

They are still working on mine....They put in the secret grease and it lasted for about a day. Dealer told me it is a normal characteristic of driveline lash!!!!!

 

Right...............

is this as easy as it sounds or will it be a bitch?

 

It's easy. Like 4 bolts and some grease.

 

 

 

so, how do you do this? which bolts?

The 4 bolts that hold the rear u-joint into the yoke.

 

First, mark the driveshaft and the yoke so you put it back with the same orientation. Then undo the 4 bolts for the rear u-joint. The u-joint should just pop right out of the yoke, but I had to pry mine off with a crowbar. Drop the rear of the shaft down, and slide the slip-yoke out of the transfer case. Grease the splines inside the slip yoke. Reverse steps to install. :D

Yup.

 

Just make sure that the truck has the wheels blocked so it can't roll. Putting it in park won't do squat with the tranny decoupled from the wheels. :lol:

 

I don't trust the e-brake for shit either. CHOCK THE WHEELS, or the truck will roll over you.

      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.
