Well brake pads went out in under a year, I know I got a lot of weight and road rims for a while but that seems almost a little to fast..I’m going to be checking out the Wagner severe duties hopefully they do me better. Last place was supposed to use the heavy duties but now I’m wandering if they pulled a fast one

More common problems...

I thought by now you'd have experienced and fixed all the common problems!
honestly I never had any of these problems on none of my previous vehicles but I’m getting them under control..you live and you learn I contemplated selling my truck and getting a gas saver that’s more reliable but I can’t bring myself to doing it.

i honestly don’t know whatever’s factory on a 09 tahoe lt I guess. In other news I’m thinking of switching all my 4 alternators to one brand since voltage hasn’t been stable lately and I been getting lots of squealing. Plus they are all mismatched right now I currently have 3 kinds. Thank god they all got warranties so I’ll have back ups for a long time.

You will be miserable if you buy a smaller gas saver for real.

One of my neighbors a few months sold his 2008 5.3 Tahoe for 3500 bucks with almost 300K miles on it..Everything worked perfectly as he had it serviced every 4K miles and had all service records..The new owner [19 years old] was happy as pig in shit and still is as I saw him a couple of weeks ago.

My neighbor then bought a used 2012 6 banger Ford Explorer. He hates it and is going to sell it for another well maintained Tahoe or Denali.

Stick with OEM, see if the cop ones will fit. Or ceramic. I put whatever came on from the factory, they were pricey but my 7,300 pound truck stops where I want it to.
