Basically what he did. I dont know yet. A fellow tech here @ the dealer said he has used caliper grease with great success. No comebacks for the two years he did it. Doesnt do it any more because his supply has gone caput. I'm thinking I might just reinvent the shaft. dunno. We'll finger this out eventually.

 

I plan on ordering one soon; I'll have a full write up review if it works or not...

 

ANOTHER NEW UPDATE - good news this time.....

DESCRIPTION:
This information bulletin refers to revisions to the service procedure found in Technical Service Bulletin 00-02-35-003K for Full-Size Truck Intermediate I-Shaft. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-02-35-003K (Section 02 – Steering).


EFFECTIVE DATE:
Revision is effective immediately.


GENERAL INFORMATION:
The revised service procedure eliminates the necessity to remove the I-Shaft and apply the lube to the I-Shaft. While GMSPO is in the process of canceling the Full-Size Truck lube kit, part number 26098419, Dealers can continue to utilize their in store inventory of lube kits until their supply is exhausted.
Refer to TSB #00-02-35-003L for the complete revised service procedure.

GMSPO realizes that this is only a temporary fix and plans to release a more permanent fix by mid-February 2007. GMSPO appreciates your patience in this matter.

 

notice the bold italicized sentence @ the bottom....whoo hoo!!!

 

saweet! keep us updated when the new part comes out i'll print off the bulletin and take to my dealer.

 

No problemo!! oh, and to update ya on the electric fan thing....no go on converting a tune or what not. sorry man.......

 

I like how they word it. MORE permanent, not PERMANENT.

 

thanks anyway. i think hpt is working on making a table.

 

HOW THE HELL DO I PUT THE SHAFT BACK IN????!!!! HELP! I disconnected it from the lowest bolt and the one inside the cab under the dash. I cant get it back in, its like stuck and I cant even compress it or extend it

 

bolt it in under the dash first, then pull it out to extend it to the bolt under the hood. are you saying its stuck in the rubber boot? just pull harder, or try turning it then pulling.
