Need Help Finding A Tsb Report

[bigdogxx]

LACK OF STEERING ASSIST OR SHUDDER DURING PARKING LOT TYPE MANEUVERS. ( NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10013533 )

 

I'm looking for some more info on this problem with my 2005 silverado, it describes what I'm dealing with to a tee and have made an appointment for my truck this week and would like the full tsb for this issue instead of the minor description the web has. Have already taken it in once to which they did nothing and obviously couldn't be bothered to actually search the tsb site to see if anything pops up, funny took me a whole 5 minutes to look through the list and see that this is the exact problem i'm experiencing. I want to make this as idiot proof as can before going to the dealer this next time, and would like the full readout for this issue if possible thanks.

 

Would really like to have this for friday if it's possible, the ask a gm tech gets no attention so im going to hope it does better in this section. Please even a link to a site that has them listed would be nice as everyone i have found charges money and gives made up tsb numbers.

Condition

 

Some customers may comment on a lack of steering assist when stopped or during parking lot type maneuvers. A lack of steering assist could occur if the brakes are applied and turning the steering wheel with the vehicle stopped or during parking lot type maneuvers. This condition will go away or greatly improve once vehicle begins to move or is above parking lot speeds. This concern can be aggravated by worn tires, low tire air pressure, low power steering pump pressures, and tires larger than stock size.

 

Correction

 

In all cases, it is recommended that the proper tire size and the maximum tire pressure is set according to the manufacturer's specification as noted on the door placard; especially for the front tires.

 

Perform the "Power Steering System Test" found in SI. Make any necessary repairs based on system diagnosis.

 

FOR 2500 AND 3500 VEHICLES ONLY - If diagnostics did not lead to any repair, this concern is a normal operating characteristic. No further repairs should be made. A Field Product Report should be submitted - refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 02-00-89-002D.

 

FOR 1500 SERIES VEHICLES ONLY - If diagnostics did not lead to any repair, this concern is a normal operating characteristic.

 

If the vehicle is equipped with a 670 gear box, replacing it with a 680 gear box may increase the customer satisfaction.

 

To determine if the vehicle is equipped with a 670 gear box, inspect the mounting bolts that attach the stub shaft housing. A 670 gear box will only have 3 mounting bolts. If the stub shaft housing does not have any mounting bolts or has 4 bolts - DO NOT PROCEED WITH THIS BULLETIN. The vehicle is not equipped with a 670 gear box.

 

If replacing a 670 gear box with a 680 gear box, it will be necessary to replace the power steering gear, union fitting and both inlet 0-ring seals.

Nice that should do the trick, though just by reading it i kind of have a feeling they will try and tell me this is normal which of course is bs since it only started doing it a few months ago and the truck is over 3 years old. Not fun trying to pull into a tight parking space and have your power steering continually cut out.

 

Thanks for looking it up.
