2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Vehicle was in 4 wheel drive, when the whole truck shuttered, I lost the drive capabilities of the truck then stopped and looked underneath vehicle to find fluid coming out of the transfer case.

“My 2003 Chevrolet 2500hd truck has had the power steering pump go out three times. When it goes out the steering and brakes fail and make it very hazardous to continue requiring me to stop and have some one pick up my truck and haul it home. I've also had my air conditioning go out twice and is nearing failure again. The front hub assembly has also gone out twice on this truck. Once the repair was made under warranty.”

I finally stopped, lucky there was no cars parked on the right near the curb. I put the transmission in neutral and restarted the engine. Then we continued the trip home to winters, ca. …”

Shop found cracked extension housing and old metal fragments in trans pan. Old metal fragments were caked inside pan indicating a long existing problem and not the result of current cracked housing. Trans shop informed me this was a common defect in the chevy allision trans, but was rare in vehicles with such low mileage (69000) and well maintained like my truck. Informed GM of problem. …”
