@bobneely8844 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the education. I contacted both my local Chevy Dealer and Chevy HQ trying to find the axle ratio of my 1998 Silverado. Both blew me off telling me the truck was too old and their records don't go back that far. When I ask both of them if they had any suggestions on how I might find the info, both said "NO". Neither of the mentioned the RPO Codes in my glove box which, after I viewed your video, those codes and the link you provided, enabled me to find the RPO Code descriptions and figure it out!! THANKS FOR NOTHING CHEVROLET!!!!! I'll remember you "Customer Service" next time I buy any vehicle.

Thank you for the reply , one more question if you would , I'v owned my 09 1500 Silverado since I purchased it new , I've had a random amount of repairs over the years some serious some not so serious , my latest issue is a fairly large amount of end play at the passenger rear axle , when I jack the rear up off the ground I can grab the tire and pull in and out about 1/8 inch or so , it's enough that it can be heard when driving , you have the same truck as I do have you noticed this end play , also it's just the passenger side. The driver side is tight , What are your thoughts on this ? Thank you . Also the truck has 115,000. Miles , thanks .
@southernsilverado53497 жыл бұрын
I no longer have the truck in this video. My new truck is a 2006 duramax. When I had the 2009 there was no such play in the axle, and I traded it in with 105k miles on it. I do know that there are pins that keep the axles in place so that is the first thing I would look into. They are most likely wore down and are allowing some slack to occur. I am no master mechanic by any means and this might not be the problem at all, but that is the first thing I would check.
