1 Transfer Case problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2016

As with many other posts here, I too have had problems with both the instrument cluster(bad speedometer and gauge readings, "electrical") and also the transfer case with holes wearing through the case, "pump slap". Everything I have researched has led to issues in both problems. I have since replaced both problems but still nothing back from gm. What a shame that these and all other issues can't be addressed by gm. I have not yet had a problem with the brakes, yet, but I tell you, it will be looked into. These both have happened under normal driving conditions.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. While driving 5 mph, the vehicle hesitated prior to depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transfer case needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 230,000.

3 Transfer Case problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2014

Wrong clip on oil pump in transfer case wears hole in case . All the oil drains out of case causing catistrophic fallers. Causing thousands of dollars for repair. Gm has known about this an offered no help. This could cause real danger to owner if this happened in adverse conditions. This happened when vehicle is operating with no warning. My case was found by tec before fall ire my brothers failed on a trip leaving him stranded.

4 Transfer Case problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2010

2004 chevy silverado hd 2500 diesel--transfer case wearing from inside out I took my truck in to have service work done on it, and found out from the jasper transmission company, that they are doing a large number of chevy transfer cases because they weren't shimmied right from the factory, causing the gears in the transfer case to eat through the bottom of the housing on the transfer case itself. This then results in the transfer case fluid to leak out, and causes the gear box to come apart inside the transfer case. The chevy dealer that I took my truck to never even mentioned this to me, and was very evasive about the whole issue. I will never buy another GMC (gov't. Motors corp. ) car or truck again!!.

5 Transfer Case problem

Failure Date: 12/13/2008

Transfer case develops hole from pump inside on my 2004 chevy 2500 hd duramax. Sounds like this is a very common problem with gm owners with this type of transfer case. Its being called the infamous pump rub. Sounds like gm is ignoring this problem. This should not be happening on vehicles this new with little miles on them.
