Finally got back around to reading this again. My 05' is also doing this? I have 116k miles and I don't think warranty is going to cover it, maybe? I will tell my dad to get his into the shop. He has like 60k.
Intermidiate stering shaft needs to be replaced. Tel your old man it is not from going down rough roads, just a poor design. Happens to every GM truck!
My truck is not lifted other then a few turns on the torsion bars to clear the tires... Just the extra weight of the Dmax and Allison up there...
My toys, painted the truck to match the boat. I orderd the paint knowing that reds and orange colours are expensive but I $hit when I was given a bill for $1900 for two galons of paint. That was paint only, no reducer, hardner or clearcoat. Had some left over so painted my Harley and turbo Busa also.:sifone:
