8-cylinder automatic 4WD
78000 mi US $600 |
Rear pinion bearing went bad(scored in one place) mechanic said it sets too long and the top of the bearing is not covered in the lube for a long period.I think it was a faulty bearing. But hey, the truck is 14.5 years old. |
8-cylinder automatic 2WD
67000 mi US $100 |
Hard shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, was told it's normal on GM transmissions and it needs a new valve body for $1100. |
86000 mi US $400 |
To address a hard 1-2 shift, I replaced the fuel filter, air filter, changed the transmission fluid and filter, and dropped the 1-2 accumulator and changed the big spring which was worn. Not entirely successful as didn't replace accumulator. |
