Exactly!
Some auditable gurgling and grinding noises from the tcase, vibrations going down the road and binding on a hard turn in 4wd is a normal characteristic of any 4x4 (a true 4x4, not an AWD or a GM truck with the NV 246 AutoCrap electric shift POS).
The manual shift 4wd system is actually the best and most dependable system GM offers. I have an ’01 and an ’05 with manual shift tcases for that reason. Got stuck with the electric shift Autocrap in my ’04 Hoe as it is standard equipment.
I would be interested in looking at the warranty history on your VIN to see what they really did. From what you said so far, I don’t hear anything that is unusual. And there is no “locker” in the front of any stock GM vehicle. Your dealer is scaring me. Especially, if they ripped open a new transfercase for a normal characteristic.
Keep in mind….GM didn’t make the transfercase. Actually GM doesn’t make anything! They are like any other manufacturer….they “Assemble” components made by suppliers to build vehicles. If you are upset at the transfercase (if it really did fail) be upset at New Venture Gear (Now Magna International).
Hope this turned out well for you 68crum
