    Got my ISS from GMpartsdirect.com; much cheaper than the dealer.
    Gone, but not forgotten!

    Wow! I finally caught a break...

    A big +1 for my original dealer Freedom Chevrolet in Virden, IL. I called them and they are going to replace it free of charge on Friday. I am 20k past warranty so this was a surprise, but the 40 minute drive will be worth it. I'm going get the old ISS back and drill in a grease nipple for likely later use.

    Again, thanks to all on this site for the knowledge shared. I'm sure I'll be back.

    The new shaft is about $95 retail. After having problems with this since 1999, I can say that this will fix it. I have yet to see a new style shaft (looks exactly like original) get replaced for a repeat complaint since its release in November 2006. If it's a 2004+, make sure there is no slop in the plastic lower column bearing where the shaft comes out of the column....the newer trucks have common problems here as well. The grease kit is not available for the trucks any longer because the shaft was updated so long ago.
