04 Suburban - Front diff. whining / binding

[fraser jim]

Well - got the Suburban back from the dealer, minus $ 1,500.

Supposedly the transfer case clutches were cooked.

Service "Advisor" said that the mechanic said that there was a snap ring that was bad. Didn't get anymore details.

They replaced all clutch plates and front transfer case bearings.

They gave me back "bad" parts. I was surprised at that. The metal plates between the ones with clutch materials looked clean and had spots where they looked polished. Didn't see any burns and don't know how thick the clutch material is supposed to be. Maybe there was a lot of material in hte bottom of the transfer case.

Runs great.

12 month "warranty" on the job!

Thanks for your help.
