10-03-09-001: Vibration/Pulsation/Thrumming TSB (FIX)

[pokey]

Update: to my experience GM has stopped replacing/repairing the prop shafts but instead are replacing the couplings with the ones being installed on the Camaro's.

I've been working with the Service Manager at a local GM garage and he has been talking to the GM Engineer in charge of this issue. I asked point blank if they are repairing the prop shafts anymore and he said no.

1. they replaced my prop shaft couplings with "92228328 F-COUPLING KIT"
2. tried rotating the prop shaft 180 degrees

I still have the vibration on the highway, it is different but no better and no worse. If anything after they balanced my tires I can feel it more. I'm now being told that this is normal for my vehicle. So, tomorrow I'll be calling my Service Manager and Pontiac Customer service to inform them of my displeasure with General Motors. Pisses me off that their solution is now to find a bushing which they hope will "mask" the vibrations of an out of balance prop shaft. Bastards.

Well after many phone calls it sounds like I will get a balanced prop-shaft. Or at least they will balance mine. I've read varying results, so we shall see.. either way I'll be glad to move on, either fixed, learn to ignore, or ...

I got one of the early balanced shafts and it fixed my issue 99%

Wicked Mom will you have my kid? I love you.
Parts came in yesterday, got a GM paid car rental waiting anxiously for the local dealer to finish this TSB repair on my vehicle.

Sorry, I'm done having kids.

I hope the driveshaft fixes your concerns.

I thought you are the surrogate mom on this board?

I'm like an adoptive mom I guess.

So im bringing my car to the dealer on thursday to have them check my steering wheel shake problem. The guy on the phone was telling me if its bad hubs/rotors thats not covered under warranty. How can that be true, I would think hubs should be included in the 3 year 30k warranty? Those of you who have had this issue looked at, did you print this thread off and show it to the service writer?

I only provided the TSB number. (My car is still sitting at the dealership waiting for the driveshaft to return)
