2003 GMC Sonoma SLS Extended Cab....REAR-AXLE PROBLEMS...NEED HELP!!!?
Ok...here is my problem. I just bought a 2003 GMC Sonoma SLS Extended Cab from a certified dealer at the beginning of August. There was zero problems with this truck, and it ran beautifully. Well, lately, I have noticed a popping/thumping noise when I accelerate and decelerate. I didn't think too much of it at the time, and decided to go get the entire undercarriage looked at. The tires were fine, the brakes were checked, and even the drive-train was oiled again. But, here in the past 2 weeks, the popping/thumping has gotten worse, and it gets worse as I accelerate, and it shakes the entire vehicle and the noise can be heard pretty clearly from outside of the truck as well. I have been told that it could possibly be the U-Joints, and then again I have been told that it could possibly be that the oil in the rear-axle needs to be replaced, and I have also been told that the entire rear-axle may need to be replaced/re-built. Can anybody tell me what is going on here?
And, another question. I have been notified that GM puts out a 100K drive-train warranty on all of their models. If that is true, does this truck have a GM warranty at all? It only has 72K miles on it right now. Can anybody tell me about this as well?
Thanks!
