Pump Rub: Should I be concerned?

[Redbowties88]

im having a bit of trouble gathering info on this.

im at a little over stock trans safe power levels but still on a stock trans. im wondering if i should be worried about pump rub....IIRC its cause by 4x4 racing and launches but im not sure if it will be an issue at my power level

thanks

It's caused from the pos clip that holds the pump. If it breaks then the pump will rub a hole. I think but not positive that gm fixed the issue on the new trucks.

You never know when and if this is going to happen.

power level is not what does it. it is when ever the clip wants to break and the pump starts rubbing on the case until it rubs a hole!

ok thanks guys that clears up everything.

Pump rub is a role of the dice basically like stated above. The rear housing on the trans breaking is caused by 4X4 launches and driveline vibrations. The transfer case support brace is for that.

gotcha. thanks

Probably a VERY stupid question ( But I'm due) so, once the clip breaks can the rub be heard through a stethascope (SP?) somehow? Possibly to catch it early, and prevent the rub through.

Probably, but you would have to strap yourself under the truck while it's rolling to hear it.

Thanks Mike! I'm sure I could use the GF love swing somehow to do that. Or put the rear on Jack Stands.

I want pics and video of this!!!

Does the pump rub issue happen in all years Mike or just the early models?

Not on the late ones.

Not on the late ones.

What is the cutoff date? Is it 5/6speed, body style, year, exc.....

How late we talking Mike.

Edit: Paul beat me.

Sounds like something that would be a good idea after one too many :shots:

I heard once that the 08+ tcases werent prone to pump rub, may be wrong though..

You Sick-O

Not sure how many miles are on the truck anymore, but I know it's over 100K. With my luck, any day this will happen.

Does the 1 ton dually have the same transfer case as the 3/4 ton? I heard that the 1 tons don't break the clip as often.

Thanks

Beech, if you're gonna have the trans out, you might as well do the pump rub kit. I think the extra 250 is worth the insurance.

indeed, im pretty sure george included that in the quote he gave me a bit ago..

just being paranoid about it happening before then and ending up with a shot case. i do more 4x4 launches then should be allowed
