I bought a used 2003 Z71 Silverado from the dealer in December of 2007. In april of 2008 i was backing out of my drive way and heard a clunk and the sound of grinding metal. I took my truck to a local garage where the mechanic told me i shredded my spider gears and the chunk of my differential would probably have to be replaced. I then went to the Chevy dealership and they said ive they drove it they concluded that nothing was wrong with my truck. I went back to our local garage and had the problem fixed. I sent chevy the photos of the shredded spider gears to see if they would cover some of the cost. It was a waste of time! I am beginning to question if i am going to stay loyal to Chevy in the future....

We bought the truck used noticed the clunked about 3 months later it got worse and worse.
When driving slow and then stepped on the gas then it clunks. I checked the universals and it wasn't them.
