| I am experiencing the problem with the service bulletin issued by chevrolet where there is a clunking noise on the 2-3 upshift. i can't believe they have a do not attempt to fix recommendation as my truck just started to exhibit this condition at 5000 miles, and it did not do so prior to this. to see there reasoning that there are additional stresses with the four wheel drive that may cause this condition seems to be a poor excuse and way out not to fix the problem.*ak | |||
