Problems with 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 POWER TRAIN

2002 chevrolet suburban 2500. in parking lot, pressed brake and truck lurched forward causing damage to my suburban and another car resulting in an insurande surdharge for accident over $2500. dealer, mirak chevrolet of arlington ma could not find defect. upon braking today,i felt a surge forward but no accident this time. please advise of any past recalls or similar incidents. *tr

Routine maintenance revealed a leak in the transfer case. this lead to discover a small hole in the case. this is caused by a part defect that breaks over time. usually around 85,000 to 105,000 miles. the part is an "anti-rattle clip" that prevents the inner pump from of course rattling. when this part breaks, the pump then rubs a hole from the inside out. if this is not caught in time, the lubricating oil would run dry and this would lead to a drivetrain malfunction. i will be ordering a replacement transfer case. yes old part will be available. note: as of yet, the replacement part for this has no modifications to prevent this from happening again. *jb

I own a 2002 chev k2500hd. i have had several problems, but was unaware of this site to report these problems until now. first, the dryer switch on the ac went bad @ 34k. second,@ 65k i had to replace the front left wheel hub assembly as talked about in one of the other complaints i read. third, @ 95k my transfer case developed a leak and i lost all the fluid. a chevrolet mechanic showed me a transfer case that had gone bad due to the same problem and had been used in 4wd w/out fluid in it. another chevrolet mechanic told me he had seen several of these and that "jb weld is your friend". so i patched the hole, and 10k later it developed a second leak in a similar location and also about this same time an electrical part (about $550) went out for my 4wd. now at 130k it has developed a third leak! also starting @ approximately 50k, my rear differential has locked up on me several times and i have had to replace 4 cables on my tailgate. after being a chevy man all my life i think i will look at toyota. *nm

Some times when i start my 2500 hd chevrolet silverodo 4wd extended cab truck the service 4wd indicater comes on and when i go to the dealer they tell me they dont know what it is. im thinkin that its falty wiring. it also makes an awfule ticking sound right when i start it too. all the time.

Pump retaining pin on the transfer case failed, permitting the pump to wear a hole in the transfer case with sudden release of the engine oil. chevrolet is not claiming knowledge. *jb
