Had my first 2004 3500 problem.

Was that not covered under warranty?

Did they replace the tail shaft bushing as well? Whitelightning

It was under my extended warranty I paid for which is a $200 deductible. I have 53,000 on it now the Chevy has a 36K warranty on everything but the motor it's 100K Don't know about the tail bushing?

Have a Great One ! Bob :)

Is yours the GMC factory extended warranty? If so, keep in mind that the $200 deductible is per incident, not per component. For example, when your truck starts to fall apart you could conceivably have simultaneous problems with a power window, a bad sensor, the air conditioning, a power seat and the CD player.

In this unlikely scenario, if you were able to combine these 5 warranty claims into one visit to the dealership, you would pay a $200 deductible for all of these defective components and the deductible would not have to be paid again if any of these components failed again.

Multiple component failures are usually the result of one failed component causing the failure of others. For example, a failed water pump could cause damage to the engine as well as the transmission. In my truck, I discovered my leaking rack and pinion assembly before a low fluid level destroyed my power steering pump. Under warranty, the power steering pump would have been replaced along with the rack and pinion assemble had this been necessary.

Thanks for the info. The warranty is through Chevrolet/General Motors they stuck me $2800 buckaroo's but i'm covered on damn near everything. they gave me list of what's not covered and bascally that's the items involved in regular maintenance. hoses,belts etc etc...
