    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    I will say, the front shocks made the largest difference of everything I replaced. I was under the impression auto/mag ride shocks didn’t “wear out” like passive shocks and were “fine” as long as they weren’t leaking. I never replaced the front mag rides on my 13 because they were bone dry. It...

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    That is why I said aftermarket replacement parts, I meant parts that are just meant to be “equal” to the OEM part. They continued to use the control arms for these trucks on the K2 trucks, so the OEM ones will be available for some time. They are the same parts.

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    Why not? All of the parts are still available. Aftermarket replacement control arms are garbage quality. They don’t seem to last a year and the ball joints are worn out again and the bushing rubber isn’t good quality either. Why wouldn’t you replace with the same parts that lasted 10+ years?

    In search OF lowering kit advice...

    Maybe it’s just the pictures but your overall diameter looks too large to lower it very much. My 22s with the stock 285/45/22 rub quite a bit with a 2/3 drop.

    Need vehicle opinion other than my wifes

    You should NOT be buying an $80k vehicle only making $250k a year. Especially a mundane family vehicle that will be worth half that at 5 years old, that is in insane amount of money to lose when the excuse to buy it is usually either just to get the neighbors to gawk over it or because “used...

    Need vehicle opinion other than my wifes

    Don’t waste money buying new cars, especially if you’re young. That’s the best advice I can give you. I don’t know why people willy nilly spend so much money on depreciating assets. You don’t need a new car for it to be reliable, don’t fall for that myth. Buy something used for a lot less and...

    That was actually GM’s doing, not the dealerships.

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    SKF does currently make the OEM bearings, but there would be no way to know if they're actually exactly the same as the ones you can buy from Rock Auto branded as SKF. Timken used to make the factory wheel bearings for GM, so I bought all Timken bearings for my 07 SRX years ago, and two of them...

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    I wouldn't buy any hub but an OEM one, they last the longest in my experience.

    Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...

    What’s really funny is the knowledge I give out here for free to save people money is stuff I spent my time diagnosing. I had the very first 15 Yukon my shop saw with electrical issues caused by high resistance in the battery cables, long before the bulletin came out. I spent 2 weeks driving...

    Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...

    I can tell you right now, that dude is fluffing you up BIG TIME. There is NO ONE in this industry turning 12 hours a day on the least desirable jobs and leaving at 2PM every day. NO shops let tech’s leave early because they’ve turned “enough” hours either. I thought we were maximizing...

    Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...

    Oh, no! Name calling! I’m so upset now. You must be so smart. As I said, you couldn’t be more wrong about literally everything in your post. Honest people are honest, dishonest people are dishonest. The “pay structure” (it’s called flat rate, by the way) doesn’t change that. Dealers aren’t the...

    Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...

    You are so wrong, it isn’t even funny. I have never wasted so much time reading so much incorrect information in one place as I have on your posts in this thread. I can guarantee you that you have next to no clue how these vehicles actually work. The fact that you think oil grade is determined...

    Tell me you don’t have a clue without telling me you don’t have a clue.

    Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...

    No one is really worried about the electronics, it’s the 6.2 bearing failure. Even if it truly is a small percentage, the failure rate of these engines is the highest it’s been in over 30 years.
