I get both i think but its not all the time. Sometimes its worse than others and sometimes its not that bad. I know its the brakes or the axel wrap like you said.

The clips have been removed a long time ago. The first time removed was at 12,500 miles.
Sorry but my braking issues are far beyond a retainer clip that holds the drum on during assembly. Guess you would have to drive it once. Then you would surely agree it definately isn't a clip.
It pulsates bad when coming to a stop. At higher speeds it vibrates everything. It's not the front at all, as I know the difference.
With GM with the hands in the air, I just am at a loss of words at this time.
I just can't imagine what the consumer relations department will tell me that will make everthing better......or worse.
I'm sure they will not fix it over the phone.
I shouldn't be dealing with it. My dealership should be!

Thanks bad *** chevy! Ill try that tomorrow. 
Sorry for the thread jacking! I just posted up cause i was having similar issues. Who knows, i guess we will see what happens when i take the clips off tomorrow. If it still does it, than i probably have the same problem as you so.

Jonmalibuss is a member over on Silveradoss.com and he did a disc conversion on the back. He also drives an 05 VHO and didnt like the drums. I think he was the first to do the conversion or they were using his as a test dummy. (something like that) I think Baers was the company he went through......
