TRAILER HITCHES
I OWN A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD. ON 11 FEB 2005 I NOTICED SOME RUST ON MY TRAILER HITCH. I INSPECTED IT AND FOUND THAT THERE IS RUST AROUND THE WELDS, AND THAT ONE OF THE WELDS IS COMPLETELY CRACKED. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO RE-WELD IT. I TOLD THEM THAT I DID NOT WANT IT WELDED, I WANTED IT REPLACED. THIS IS A WARRANTY ITEM. I FEEL THAT IF THE ORIGINAL ROBOTIC WELDS WERE NOT HOLDING, THEN WHY WEAKEN THE METAL MORE BY HEATING IT UP AGAIN AND RE-WELDING IT. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT IF THE HITCH WAS RE-WELDED, AND IT FAILED WHILE I WAS TOWING AND CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHO WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. NO ANSWER ON THAT QUESTION. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, AND JUST REPLACED IT WITH AN AFTER MARKET HITCH. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THE PICTURES OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A GM HITCH FAILURE. AS OF RIGHT NOW, I DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE THIS GM INSTALLED, UNDER WARRANTY HITCH. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO RE-WELD IT. I THINK THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE THE TIME TO INSPECT THERE TRAILER HITCHES, AND JUST HOOK UP AND TAKE THERE FAMILY OUT FOR A WEEKEND TRIP PULLING THERE TRAVEL TRAILERS. I WILL CONTINUE TO TRY AND WORK WITH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
A CLUNK SOUND EMANATES FROM THE DRIVELINE OF MY 2004 SILVERADO MOSTLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD AND FROM 3RD TO 2ND. THE CLUNK ALSO OCCURS BETWEEN NO ACCELERATION AND ACCELLERATION WHILE IN 2ND GEAR. OCCASIONALLY THE NOISE OCCURS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS I NOW APPROACH 20,000 MILES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A DRIVELINE FAILURE OR DAMAGE TO DRIVELINE COMPONENTS DUE TO REPEATED TORSIONAL IMPACTS.*AK
