was humorous though :lol:

To you. Thanks for the support. :lol: I decided to shun my image and not respond to such poppycock :spit: because I got out of 3rd grade 25 years ago :LOL:

Good on ya'...

my buddy has an 08 2500hd with allison tranny. The dealer he bought it from said a handheld programmer, cai, OR changing exhaust TIP would void his ENTIRE warranty. (the pilgram cannon is ugly, he wasn't even going to touch the muffer)

Not sure if the gassers are as strict. And i've never had a problem with shaft...just going off what i read on another forum. They said wd40 was a temp fix. I didnt realize it was the splines that made noise, i figured it was outer seal or something.

Take out 4 bolts, pull the DS, pack the slip yoke with grease, reinstall removed components in reverse order. Done for another 18 months. BTW, don't run over yourself. Chock the wheels.

Crappy how this was a problem in the late 90's and early aughts and went away only to return.

I hate warranty work. This is because I make less for the same job if the vehicles is under regular or extended GM warranty.

That being said what he was told is a load of POOP.

Here's the deal, any dealer can refuse any service to any customer for any reason because it's a franchise. GM as a corporation (not the dealer) cannot refuse warranty repair unless GM corporate can prove the modification had a direct affect on the failure.

It would be pretty common to refuse warranty at the dealer level for a thrown rod on a $14K diesel engine if it's got propane, intake, exhaust, turbo, and tune. It would be stupid to refuse the warranty repair of a dome light because a truck has a lift kit.

Have you seen the new bulletin about if that does not fix it and it's a 4wd we get to replace the transfer case output shaft for 2.0.... GREAT:argg:

Yeah, caught that three days ago.

My 07 nnbs LT definitely does the same thing. Feels like a binding in the driveline at slow speeds, to the point where it seems like Im driving on a gravel road in the back. So the splines need lube where the ds slides into the tranny? Use axle grease or something a little lighter?

The heavier the better so it lasts.
