Yeah and watch the brightness cause I had a light melt down the fog light housing on my Silverado. Course on the Denali, the fogs are made of glass and not plastic therefore are able to handle the hotter bulbs.
brake job.................
Of course they are gonna want to replace the pads, rotors,
calipers and poss. the brake hose(s) and just about
anything else that MAY be "marginal" !!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember that word LIABILITY ? It rears its UGLY head
where safety items are required.............
While any brake job is NOT for the inexperienced. It is
easily done in a short time by a experienced "shadetree"
mechanic.
A set of good pads are under $30. A rotor "cut" is $10
bucks each, a replacement rotor on a 4x4 is anywhere from $50 to $150 each and a set of rebuilt calipers is under $50!.............
Where are you getting these prices and what is included ?????????
tundrasolutions.com
GM is NOT the only automaker with steering shaft
or cold start knock problems.............
But to be FAIR......."THOSE" vehicles NEVER have problems!
Just ask any of their owners here in "fantasyland"!!!!!
Did I mention the titan? Thats another "perfect one" too!
..........LOL !!!!!!!!! :P
Personally, if you could just call around and ask how much they would charge to install pads and rotors with you providing the parts to get a better idea on their labor charge. And if opting for that route, I'd definitely would pick up my own parts and watch them install it.
One last thing...try to stay away from Midas....lol.
A wear thru hole in the case itself. It wears from the
inside OUT !!!!!!! This is a known NPG tran. case prob. and is well noted on a few GM truck sites along with
pics and cures...............
Some guys use JB Weld, another guy used a pan screw along
with a washer and sealer. Will dig up link for ya !
Is yours there? There are others posted elsewhere
with fixes but this is the most common area for the
wear thru leak.........
http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40876&hl=transfer+case+link
show some sort of "rust" on the wear face. Water or
moisture will show "rust" on ANY untreated iron or steel
surface. A bit of driving will wear the "rust" off.
Here in snow and salt land severe rust will form between
the front and back wear surfaces in the heat "slots".
Are your brakes pulsing or giving you any other problems?
Rotors????...yea the price varies greatly. Just put a
set on my girls s-blazer.........$39 bucks each.
Made in china of course................ :P
Full sizer 6 or 8 bolt rotors get $pendy quick !!!!!!!
A big thread and pics over there about the trans.
case leak/wear-thru issues..............
I'm intrigued about your comment on the Denali fogs. Not being familiar with there look, do you know if the 2002's are interchangeable with the same year Silverado?

Now if you were to do a conversion on the front end with an Escalade kit perhaps..........
I wished the had made the back quarter windows that roll down. Anyone ever see a truck converted that way?
You would not be able to convert them to roll down windows without major modifications which wouldn't be worth the trouble. Keeping the windows shut all the time seems to help so I don't ever open them on my '99 Sierra.
Another poster (dagord) had the same problem.
He replaced a simple relay in the heater
control/switch assembly for only a few bucks vs.
a whole new unit.........
Why would this happen?, it seems as if the fuel is being turned off because pushing the foot feed when it is about to die does nothing. Now here is a list of everything that has been done in the last 3 days:
Replaced plugs and Wires
Replaced Coil
Replaced Ignition Module
Replaced Fuel Pump Relay
The Fuel pump is less than 1 year old.
I brought it to the shop and they couldn't find anything, they said my fuel pressure is fine. Also my check engine light DOES NOT come on at all with this problem, and i know the light works. If anyone can tell me where to go next with this it would be awesome, are there any other electronics that can cuase this problem or has someone had the same problem and was able to ID it?
Thanks for your help everyone!

Many warranty fixes. I talked with GM customer relations
about a buy back or trade out or something. There solution was to put all my info in an unsatisfied customer file. So anything I called about was put into that file.
I even told them they should be happy to get information from an engineer about the flaws in there product. They did not seem to agree. I told them I bought the truck(Professional Grade)because I thought it was the best built best looking most dependable truck. I ended up having to take it back over and over to get things fixed that I thought I was getting by buying a NEW Truck.
They did fix things under warranty or attempt to fix.
Thanks,
