Steering colum popping

GMC C1500

I have a 2004 GMC sierra 1500 that has for the second time started popping in the steering. It was repaired/greased at 20K under warranty. Now at 42K started again and was told this was not under warranty and would cost $100 to repair. Was told to expect this to keep happening because they did not have a permanent fix. Anybody have the same problem or a fix? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, Ive yet to hear of a permanent fix. I have seen them with zerk (grease) fitting installed so they can be relubed when they start up again

I've read several forums on the internet and you wouldn't believe the amount of times I have seen this same problem discussed. Seems that GM 1999 thru present all have this same issue. Can't believe they don't have a fix for this. It's a shame that this has to be repaired or replaced more often than tires. You would think that a 30 or 40 thousand dollar vehicle would have more reliability. Thanks for your response 2CarPro Jack.
