z71 4wheel drive powertrain problems

Jan 09, 2004 4 Replies

I have a 93 Z71 4wheel drive gmc truck. Two month ago the tranfer went out and it cost me $1K to fix it. Three weeks later the rear end went out. As you probably guess, that was another $1K to fix. Is this common for a truck with only 140K miles? Seems they engineer these things to break down after so many miles.

Did you change the TC fluid at least every 30K? How the differential fluid? Did you change that at least every 30K?

I'm going to guess and say probably not.

sounds like a habit of pulling the lever with the rears spining to me. that's the only way I've ever heard of a 241 failing (other than the output shaft snap ring).

Geez, you got 140K miles out of those components. You should see all the late model trucks in our shop with the front diffs and t/cases grenaded after 20K miles. Count your blessings, my man.

I think he changed it every 140,000 miles....
