| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1998 cevrolet k-1500 4wd silverado pickup truck. i've been having a problem with the slip yoke on the transmission and driveshaft not performing properly for the last two years. it makes a "squaking"sound and feels like it is taking out the slack in the driveshaft when you push on the gas pedal. it does the same when you are coming to a stop. i wrote to chevrolet 2 years ago and they told me i should get a hold of my dealer to have the problem investigated. i did that at bergey's chevrolet in hatfield, pa 19440 on 02/20/2002-02/21/2002 at a cost of $103.67. they thought there was a replacement slip yoke for my truck, but when i showed up they said the new part was actually for a 1999 or newer truck so it wouldn't fit my truck. they said they could probably replace it with the same part exactly as i already had, but would experience the same problems down the road. they insted took my truck into the shop to give it a "fix" by disassembling the slip yoke, filing the splines on it, grease it with "magic grease" and then reassembled it. the problem reappeared two days later. i called them back. they said they'd call me when a new part was designed to fit my truck because until then they could do nothing to help me. i followed up with them over the next few months, but nothing ever came out of it. it's now two years later and the problem still exists. i hope you might be able to help me because noone else seems to be able to. thank you for your time and help.
