Default 03 4x4 PU FE known problem? - 06-27-2008 , 11:45 AM






My O3 Silverado with 41K miles has a clunking sound from the FE. Since the
Int Shaft (?) was replace under warranty at 27k for the same complaint I am
wondering if Chevrolet front ends wear more than other 4X4s or if there is a
know problem, or the dealer did bad work? The work was done in 05 (I don't
drive much) so I don't expect any help from the shop that did the work.
Maaybe I should take it elsewhere? Any advice?

I don't believe Chevy wears any faster than any other make, Just got to
maintain them properly.
Make sure all the grease fittings are greased.
I was taking my truck to an oil change place and found out the hard way they
weren't greasing the total front end.
Luckily I got the worn parts replaced under warranty. The dealer said it
hadn't been greased right ever.
You just can't trust anyone but yourself, or at least check there work.
