Description of the problem | I have a 2005 silverado work truck. It started as an annoying clunk' and has turned into a continuous clunk. After doing research, i found the intermediate shaft is the problem. The dealer wont touch it even though there is a bulletin for '03-'04 models. If this shaft fails at highway speed the driver is in deep trouble. Why has this not been made a full blown recall? |
