I saw a blurb on the network news last night as well
\"All I know is what I read in the papers\"<br /><i>Will Rogers</i>
haven't heard, but I have replaced a few p/s pumps on later models.
it's coming, don't know all the details yet.
The NSBU switch has left a bitter pill in my mouth so BEND OVER GM here comes my powersteering pump!

My pump failed (2002 model) but luckily I was in my driveway. I shudder to think what would have happened if it failed on the freeway.
I still wonder whether the replacement pump is a redesigned one.
I've drove several w/ the failure and truthfully it's not that bad. the brakes and steering still function manually and are still quite manageable. Had a girl drive a Tahoe in who couldn't have weighed over 110# soaking wet and her biggest concern was the noise made while appling the brakes yet she had no p/s or power brakes.
yes the new pumps have been redesigned. they can be identifed by the lack of black paint. most 04.5's got the new pumps.

Is this going to be a mandatory campaign, or one of those "silent" campaigns? Open or termed?
Hate to experience a problem if I don't have to. Especially the systems we're talking about. An unloaded Tahoe is a far cry from a 20,000# combination!
Thanks for the info. Keep it comin'!
hope you have no problems w/ that rig....Good trailer brakes???? Really the wording in the bulletin states a Customer satisfaction campaign so I don't belive it will be a full blown recall @ first, but I won't be surprised when it does. Situations like yours makes me hope it becomes a recall. I don't make much money on recalls, but it's worth keeping customers safe.
oh yeah...w/ the tahoe story i was trying to point out the failure w/ loss of p/s and p/b didn't seem to bother the hot azz little number drivin' it. she was really only worried mainly about the noise.

IS THAT WITH HYDROBOOST? I KNOW THERE IS A BULLITION ON THE MASTER CYL REAR SEAL LEAKING.

yeah those two bulletins are totally different. The ones w/ hydroboost are the only ones affected by this one.
