Just had my intermediate steering shaft replaced and that took care of the problem. Had it done under warranty but the entire bill was only $157.00

Thanks for the info. Did you have an extended warranty?

Just bought an extended warranty through Fidelity but is was replaced under the 36/36.

Why $157? I had mine done under the 36/36 and no charge.

Is that part number for the new shaft 19153614? I wonder how hard it is to replace it?

Mine does the same thing.. i did some research on here and found out what it was myself. I am thinking that I am going to just change it myself...

you need to go to the dealer and have them good will it. this is a problem we have had since 99 when they brought these stupid steering shafts out. just talk to the service manager and let them know what is going on. they should take care of you!

Could also be the steering box. I would check it by having someone turn the wheel while watching it from underneath.

do you hear this when going over bumps in road or going in a parking lot?

I think he is saying that it would have cost $157 if not covered by warranty.

That 157.00 was teh cost to GM. The total parts and labor. You'r right it didn't cost me a dime, only loosing the truck for a day.
