I agree, hopefully the horse will be at the glue factory soon.
and yes I corner a lot faster than I should but I was taught to drive by a cop and a street racer (My two brothers)

Thanks for your helpful info.

Didn't say anything about 4wd low. Transfer case clutches were not engaged, so how would the connecting componants between the clutches and the front diff. be at full speed and I was going into a sharp curve of an offramp when the front diff. engaged. hence the tires were moving at diff. speeds. I d...

Sorry I missed the question about BBB. The answer is yes I have been thru customer care and BBB arbitration. It took over 6 months. So much for 40 day rule set by feds. This has been going on for almost 2 yrs. now. Lawyer just informed me that case is on docket for April 4. Finally, this may be over...

Tried that, I was told that I was not allowed to talk to them directly by order of the AVM. even tried to get his name and number from customer care but they would not provide it either. They probably could have saved themselves a lot of heart ache/time and money if they would have talked to me. Jud...

Well, I appreciate the help. I may have to go with another brand at this point :cry: even though I have been a loyal GM owner for years. As far as having a good relationship, I had one before this. I worked there several years ago in the detail shop until college and my brother was the new/used car ...

That's why I am trying to figure it out. I know is does not all add up but it happened anyway. The only thing I can think of is when I stop - which I did as soon as it engaged, the pressures would equalize and the system would say oh what - you souldn't be engaged. As far as other issues, I already ...

Well, I want to get rid of this truck. As far as what it takes to make that happen, my lawyer is asking for alot hoping to settle somewhere in the middle. I would also like an apology from the people at GMC that treated me like crap but that won't happen. What about the last post - am I right??

I am not talking about a lack of vacuum - talking about a sudden increase in vacuum. As far there being no sudden changes in vacuum, I stated in the post that the vacuum canister was damaged (actually it was clogged up) and not operating porperly according to the gm tech that worked on the truck. I ...

Thanks, would you agree that sudden changes in the vacuum pressure could cause the system to think I engaged the 4wd.

I understand you may not agree but is it not true that the front diff. is told to engage by a vacuum controlled sensor. I beleive the reason for my problem is the fact that only part of the system engaged. If the system as a whole were to engage, it would probably work okay. As far as being able to ...

DRive Train Damage from HVAC problem

I am starting this thread as requested from the other post. The problem is with my truck's 4WD system being totally screwed up by jumping into 4wd hi while on the Interstate coming onto an off ramp. The problem started as the typical complaint I have seen on this board about the hvac controls not wo...

I have to disagree with you on this. You apparantly have never had your truck jump into 4wd on it own at a high speed while negotiating a turn etc. It felt like a blown tire and downshift at the same time and did several thousand dollars worth of damage to my truck including a warped axle housing. I...

I read this post and thought I would post a reply to tell you just how bad this problem can be. I own a 2002 ZR5 crew cab and have had the problem with the vacuum actuator no the transfer case and a/c switch control problems. The actual problem is the vacuum actuator on the transfer case can and wil...
