[QUOTE="RC Mike, post: 141719, member: 3336"] Hey Guys, So I had the vibration issue last year around the 2000 RPM range that they told me was the prop shaft after 7 visits. So we decided to do it at the start of the season this year so I had it replaced in April of this year. It was a know issue and they were pretty tight lipped at GM and the dealership advised me to wait till this spring to get it done. They thought that they might have a fix by then..... So after having it replaced the vibration was still there and I had it in last Friday because it was constant at the 2000 rpm range. This time they told me that the bearing had gone in the prop shaft and ordered the new shaft(no 2) and would be in this week. I picked up the car for the weekend and got it home and noticed it was slow to start at the dealership when I got it. I think it was odd so I continued home and noticed a little squeal as well on the trip home. I washed the car and fired it up in the driveway and it barely started and was squealing bad now. I assumed it was a bearing or belt issue so I had my wife follow me back to Woodstock to the GM dealership and leave it there. I was stopped at a light and the car just shut down. Tried to start it and it barely turned over and smoke was coming from the hood and I could smell rubber burning. Get it towed and was told the bearing seized in the shaft. After they take it apart the bearing is not seized so out comes the engine and the thrust bearing is crushed and moved an inch into the block. Brand new motor on order...… It also pushed the bearing in the prop shaft back and inch as well and bent the gearbox side as well. Here are a few pics..... Dam it looks ugly naked.. I have had this issue since day one... Pay attention to your cars guys [/QUOTE]
