problem #1

Mar 042005

Avalanche 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,000 miles
After only 26K miles had a clunking noise in the front end and especially when making a hard turning motion. Evidently this was a common problem because the Chevy dealer knew exactly what the problem was. The description on the repair indicates end-lube I-shaftand they used a gn lube kit fp#26098419. After only 19 months and 8K miles later it's doing the exact same thing.
