my cousins 07 nnbs does the same thing, i dont know what it is either.
My friend had the same problem. It was the driveshaft. He lubed it up, and problem solved.
forget that, isnt that thing under warranty. get that crap fixed man.
:imwstupid: absolutely use that warranty while you can.
alot of guys were havin problems with the 07s and driveshafts. Spray wd on the tail shaft, i can't remember if there is a grease fitting or not on the housing. If it stops, wait til it starts again, and take it to dealer.
Believe they said silicon spray would last 3-4 months.
the only reason im sketching about the dealer is i dont want them to give me crap about my intake. that shouldnt void anything but i dunno. i could always through the stock one back on
fix your post man theres an infraction in there, a dealer shouldnt say anything about a CAI.Quote:

I can say the dealer can suck it if they wanna get :ghey: about the CAI. Then again, it's too easy to fix to bother taking it in. Do like others have suggested just please don't use WD40 :LOL:. 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.
yah thats what i was thinking too but i just wanted to find out to play it safeQuote:

Spraying from underneath does not get in the splines where the problem is. WD40 washes off too....especially on the outside.
Badum-CHING! Hold on to your panties--we've got a funny guy here!Quote:

I've been told mods don't void warranty. They only problem is if the mod breaks something else....then the warranty wont cover the broken part.
Gotta prove the mod is or caused the failure.
Isn't that backward Nathan? You would have to prove the mod didn't cause the failure...unless you were speaking from the dealer POV.Quote:

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.
thanks for the help i think im just gunna go with this and save my self from more work then is necessary. ill give it a shot this weekend and see how it works outQuote:

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:Quote:

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.
Thanks for your insight on this. We all need it on these trucks at some point. I had the same issue with my old '03 Silverado. Really annoyingQuote:
