THE NP246 TRANSFER CASE OIL PUMP PLATE WEARS A HOLE INTO THE CASE, CAUSING IT TO LEAK. THERE IS A SAVER PLATE THAT CAN BE INSTALLED THAT PREVENTS THIS PROBLEM.

I'VE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK SINCE I BOUGHT IT 3 MONTHS AGO. I'VE FIXED ALMOST ALL OF THEM-ABS WAS ACTIVATING WHICH WAS PUSHING ME INTO TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING A WRECK SO I CHANGED THE ABS SPEED SENSOR AND HUB ASSEMBLY. FRONT SUSPENSION WAS GONE SO I REPLACED THAT; AS WELL AS STEERING PARTS, BRAKES, THE PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T WORK, FIXING IT NEXT. OIL SENDING UNIT, A/C BELT AND REFRIGERANT REPLACED. THE PROBLEMS LEFT ARE EVAP EMISSION VENT VALVE SOLENOID, THROTTLE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR, AND RANDOM/ MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE SOMETIMES AND CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE OTHER TIMES. IN 4X4 WHEN IT GETS UNDER A LOAD SOMETHING SOUNDS LIKE IT'S BINDING UP AND IT POPS BUT IT STILL WORKS. WHEN I SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE OR ACCELERATE FROM A STOP IT HAS A SHIFT FEELING IN THE REAR WITH A THUMP SOUND. SOMETIMES I CAN PUSH THE GAS AND IT WON'T DOWNSHIFT TO SPEED UP WHEN I'M ON THE HWY BUT THAT'S PROBABLY THE TPPS. I JUST WANT MY 4X4 WORKING AND MY SHIFT THUMP FROM A STOP TO GO AWAY. HELP. IN 4X...

Air Bags
03/21/2019
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN BLAIR, NE WASHINGTON COUNTY. THE DEALERSHIP SOLD THIS TRUCK TO ME WITH REPLACED AIRBAGS THAT DIDN'T WORK. THEY REPLACED THE ORIGINAL FACTORY AIR BAGS WITH WHAT NOW ARE MARKED CHEVROLET AND NOT GMC ACCORDING TO MECHANICAL SHOP. SAME MECHANIC EXPRESSED TO ME THAT THIS TRUCK WAS IN ACCIDENT THAT NOT ONLY BENT THE FRAME BUT ALSO CAUSED THE ORIGINAL AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. WHEN I PICKED UP TRUCK AFTER SALE I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP OWNER WHY THE LIGHT WAS ON, HE SAID HIS MECHANIC COULD FIX IT. HIS MECHANIC COULD ONLY WORK MONDAY THRU THURSDAY WHICH MADE MAKING ANY APPOINTMENT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME, SO I TOOK IT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO LOOK AT IT AND THAT IS WHEN I FOUND THE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN REPLACED IMPROPERLY. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NE DEPARTMENT OF VEHICLES AND WAS TOLD TO FILE A FEDERAL COMPLAINT ABOUT THE AIRBAGS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
