    Loose nut behind the wheel?????????????????
    I have 03 GMC 2500 with 4" lift, 45000 mi. I haven't had any vibrations but recently I started getting a "service 4 wheel drive" indication every once in a while. Took it in and it needs a "encoder motor sensor". Bought the extended warranty from GMC. Turns out extended warranty doesn't cover it! *&^%#$@!$#%&))&^%$@!#$$%^ $450 to fix it.
    My extended warranty only covers "lubricated" items and systems. I felt like I was the one not getting lubricated!
    If you have a GM 4x4 and you get that signal while still under warranty, take it in right away and get it fixed.

    My bearings went at 60k. Other than that, no problems. I run 285's on a 2WD with Fabtech spindles. Original brakes at 67k.
    Might be selling though, only to get a 4X4

    Our 04' had to have the steering a steering column part replaced. It was under warranty because there was a notice on it. Can't remember a noise coming from it.

    Mine was missing a bracket that holds the steering shaft in place from the factory(underhood between the firewall & steering box) . It took about 15K miles before it wore out enough to start vibrating. It still took 3 trips to the dealer before they figured it out.

    I have a 04 2500hd and it's probably in the steering colum! I took mine to chevy to have fixed and the part is on back order!

    Is Chevy replacing these steering colums and parts on your trucks after the 36,000 mile mark?

    My experience with GM ( I have owned several new GM trucks) is that if you have a cool service writer he will handle you even if you are out of warranty. I had a front dif explode on a lifted IFS Z-71 5,000 miles out of warranty and my SW took care of it with GM. Of course, I used to leave cases of Heinekin (sp) in the back seat for him

    My 05 2500HD had the intermedite steer shaft clunk, took to the dealership on 1-9-06, they did not have the part in stock. They ordered it, it was in within 5 days, took it back on the 23rd of Jan. Fixed, noise clunck now gone.
