[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 134937, member: 55"] They ever get rid of the tranny/driveshaft spline clunk that was common in the late '90s? Basically, the difference in driveshaft length due to suspension movement is taken up in the splined joint where the driveshaft meets the trans. This sliding splined joint is greased from the factory, and when the grease disappears, the driveshaft hangs, and then clunks when you accelerate. GM's only solution to the problem was remove the driveshaft and recoat it with grease whenever the clunking starts, which is pretty frequently. I've got a '98 Tahoe (Vortec 5.7, 4L60E tranny), and it starts that crap up quite frequently. [/QUOTE]
