GM used a spring steel clip to try and prevent the problem but the clips are faulty. I am sure some of those sprigs will never break and others will break within a few miles. The problem is once that spring breaks the process starts and you dont know if that clip is broke or not until you get a hole or you take the T-case apart. My fathers 2500HD seems to be fine for now and it has 160K miles on it and my 1500 had no signs with 140k on it. I am just from the "ounce of prevention" school of thought and I would take a $500 bill over a potential $1500 bill and maybe even be stranded miles from civilization in a snowstorm with no 4wd to get me out of the ditch.
