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!
Yep ours was on backorder for a while. The dealer packed it really good :2purples: to get us by.
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.
