Description of the problem	The automatic 4 wheel drive shifts from 2 wheel high to 4 wheel low while driving. I have replaced encoder once and now does it again. This not uncommon in chevy p/u's. Was told by service writer this happened to a truck while it was going down road at 70mph and it destroyed power train. The person was lucky that they had their seat belts on. Problem # 2 is sometimes the speedometer works and sometimes it does not another common defect. When i worked for a plumbing company they had this some of their trucks. I also talked to a former gm mechanic and he said that these problems were common with chevy trucks. There are recalls for hub caps and lights but not for something as serious as these 2 defects.
