yeah man thank for clarifying, I have been doing it the same way you stated my whole life and was thinking how am I the idiot. I mean certainly possible haha

me? please explain if thats how you feel to be helpful

yea thats not happening. Ive never heard of busting tie rods with grease. If its the bushing then so be it ill work around that. I can replace the tie rod ends myself and get an alignment for under 100 at a good tire shop in town. just curious what yall thought

I was getting the smallest noise as I went over small bumps as speed so I though i should grease the only 2 zerks fitting on my 16 1500 with 45k miles. About a month later I took my truck in for service and the advisor told me that the tech saw grease coming from my tie rod ends, that they were over filled any "tie rod ends are out" I asked him what does he mean tie rods are out?? thinking id be in a different world of problems if tie rod ends were out. He said they were over greased and the tie rods were out and need replacing at $600. Im no expert but ive turned wrenches my whole life the right way and often the wrong but never heard of outing a tie rod from grease.... Maybe he ment the boot split or popped but i know my tie rod ends are in fact not out. Second i would never spend that to have them do tie rods, id do them for under $100. Thoughts? over greasing tie rods? I though the point was to push the old grease out??

sounds good Ill do the diffs and xfer case this fall on my own time. thanks for replys

my 16 silverado just turned over 45k, following the severe maintenance schedule it says I should do transfer case, trans blah blah. I have already done brake fluid when I put powerstops on. My dealership has done my last few oil changes and tire rotations just for convenience and price is not terrible. 2016 1500 z71, which fluid for the transfer case? (auto trax or dex vi) what do you recommend for the diffs also? Dealership quoted 497 for a 4x4 system service! I don't know what the hell else other than changing the fluids they can be doing for $500. I though I would be able to slide this in next week as we are having our second child tomorrow and this could get finished while Im off work but 750$ for trans, transfer case and diff service seems high as willie. opinions welcome please. If i am lucky this delivery will go smooth, grandmas will come visit and I can slide out to the garage for a few hours

The original purchaser was an older guy that passes away and his son sold the truck back to the dealer, I know this because I ran into the guy a day later at the dealership he was getting his tags back (truck was only on the lot a day) Don't know where you are driving that 72 is a maniac.... Last I read warranty doesn't state posted speed limits Thanks for the info. I was just skeptical that bad tires was the issue because it seems like its an easy way out for the them since the tires are pro rated via warranty and I have to over part of the cost. I also am looking to put a size bigger tire on the truck since I added 5100s (truck shook previous to shocks) So Its promising to see someone else had balancing issues with the factory tires.

I purchased a 2016 silverado a few months ago with 12k miles on it. I noticed the vibrations 73+ miles an hour. I took it in to the chevy dealer i purchased it from and they claimed to have never heard of chevy shake and didnt have customers complaining of this ? Sounds like BS with the amount of people experiencing this issue. They road force balanced the tires and said 2 of the tires would not balance out of "red zone" Anyone had this fix their issue? Factory bridgestone tires. I really am dreading going down this road with this truck. What seems to be a common fix??
