I am SICK of greasing that damn thing every few weeks and I want a permanent solution, but I'm not foolish enough to pay the local dealer some $500 for one. Could someone please provide the GM part number for the nickel plated slip yoke so I can order it online? Thanks.

Greasing the piss out of mine with a heavy marine grade grease I found at Autozone has kept it quiet for almost three years now...

Jesus. Which one of those would be for an '05 Sierra ECSB Z71 4x4?? The first one, 12477702?

 

 

I'd assume so...

When time comes to grease mine I will use Triple Guard Grease which is really thick and sticky waterproof marine grease which is used on propeller shafts in sea water.

Is it true that the nickel plated slip yoke has been replaced with a gold plated yoke to justify the $ 500 price tag? :)

I tried marine grease, no dice. I just had the intermediate shaft relubed for clunking, and now I'm getting a tapping noise coming from behind the dash. I'm getting pretty pissed! Nothing I can't stand more than rattling-type noises on my vehicle. I got so pissed at that dash rattle the other day I pulled over on the highway and ripped the frigging thing apart looking for it. Still avoiding me. :(

 

EDIT: Define "greasing the piss out of". All I've been doing is coating the splines with a good layer but nothing TOO crazy. Am I supposed to dump the entire 8 oz tube into there or what? I'm about at that point.

That "tapping" noise you are referring to might be the lower steering column bearing. I know ever since I got rid of the intermediate steering shaft noises I can definitely hear that lower bearing when driving over rough surfaces. There is a "fix" using a hose clamp located somewhere on this site. I have yet to try it on my truck but I think I'm just going to replace the bearing itself.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      In most areas of the country, wages have trailed CPI increases over time (let's say, since the 70's) and things like housing, energy, and food have vastly outpaced wages on the whole. Can't ignore that, it's very real.   That isn't to say there aren't ways to live in ways that mitigate some of that, including moving to cheaper areas of the country. In KNut's neck of the world, median housing prices in "nearby" Dallas are more like $500k. If you're raising a family and young in a successful career, your economic opportunities are probably going to be better living closer to Dallas than Cornhole. A 3 hour (6+ round trip) daily commute probably isn't tolerable for most folks. Grumpy mentioned economic migration; but we've seen what happens when people populate and grow an area. It becomes more expensive when economic opportunities come to roost.   One thing different now from back in the 70's is our quality and standard of living has changed. Healthcare is light years better, for example. But it's also much more expensive. And we have communication and information/tech tools that folks in the 70's could never imagine, and they're accessible to people of just about all incomes. Cars are light years safer, faster, and filled with tech advances. Homes are larger, more energy-efficient, and more luxurious on the whole, from starter homes to luxury homes.   Seattle was once affordable. My folks came here in the 70's with a lot of other people from California looking to escape uncontrolled sprawl, smog, and rising prices in the Bay Area. Seattle and the surrounding area has grown considerably; The home they bought for, I think it was $70k or $80k in the late 70's is now worth $1.2M today. The same house.   So while there have been obvious boosts in some areas of quality and standard of living, regarding opportunity, that's a bit more nuanced. It's really not possible for young people to get started in similar situations in areas of the country that have become "HCOL" (high cost of living). There are many more areas than before, which is to say they exclude younger workers or make their lives significantly harder. They have to commute farther and longer to afford to live in the area. They have to take outsized risk, take on more debt, significantly delay family planning. Or, they could move somewhere cheaper, but there's usually a loss of economic opportunity that comes with that. Even for the same job, it may pay a lot less in a LCOL.   What I don't like are Boomers with phones thinking they have all the answers and outright saying that if people stopped paying for their cell phone that they'd be rich. It's as stupid and misguided as people who think they'd only be rich if taxes weren't so high. Sorry guys, Elon proved you wrong on that one, I guess you're just lazy and blaming your own situation for the reason you're not wealthy. Mobile communication is basically an expectation in a modern society and workforce and it's often cheaper than having a copper landline these days, so... What's your point?

      Ac not keeping up

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      My 2008 started exhibiting similar symptoms, wasn't 'cold' enough. I went through a pretty extensive diagnostic process for a DIY'er with limited OBD access. System evacuation and recharge included.   Noticed one day the passenger side was cold (I'm never over there so took awhile to notice).   Pulled the drivers side blend door actuator out, disassembled it and cleaned it out. Put it back in and did some kind of reset and it fixed the problem.   Long story short, it wasn't the A/C system at fault, the blend door wasn't moving to full cold position.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      Just got in two back to back road trips of about 700 miles each with my new 2026 2500HD trail boss.  Really nice highway cruiser. Two very different trips - both loaded with gear for my band. First trip was to Durango for an event with Indian Motorcycle - saw some really nice bikes while out there! All mountain driving on back country highways - very pretty scenery - lots of hills along the way including a crazy pass that went up to 11,000 feet! Overall MPG for that trip was 15, speeds were typically 60-70 range depending on road.   This past weekend was into rural Nebraska, so mostly fast interstate (76 and 80) with some fast 2 lane getting to / from the final destination outside of North Platt. Speeds mostly ~80.  Also mostly flat although somehow dropped from 5K to 3K feet and then back up getting back into CO - didn't really notice it was subtle probably over a long distance. Overall MPG for the trip was 14.   Truck is still barely broken in - just got past 2K miles on the second trip. We survived some torrential thunderstorms in NE on Sat. night - especially driving to the hotel after the gig at 1AM.  Truck didn't skip a beat - I think the weight of these HD trucks really reduces the hydroplane chances.   All good - made it back to Denver area mid day on Sunday for fathers day.   I did a quick calculation to compare MPG and overall trip cost to my previous truck, a 2018 Colorado V6.  From previous experience I would have expected to see a 4mpg improvement on both trips.  Based on current gas prices which are starting to come down but still $0.75 to $1 higher than they should be based on barrel pricing, each trip was about $40 more.  Really not much of a concern in the grand scheme of things I must say.
