I went for the alignment without the spacers. I put my winter tires on which I dont need the spacers with them.

The only thing different is I have 1.5 inch spacers when I am on my summer tires. I dont need them for my winters. I know they are a little hard on the suspension. But didn't think they would go this quick. I am still on my original break pads. But will likly have to do them in the spring.

I have a 2020 silverado, and I just replaced the driverside front cv axle. Went to get alignment, and they say I need lower ball joints. I'm not surprised since my summer tires that I just took off showed signes of wear on the inner tire. I drive mostly highway, with 137 k on the truck. I feel that it is early to replace ball joints. Does anyone else have issues with this?

I just posted a thread on this sounding like the exact same issue. I never wanted to take it to the steelership for these exact reasons. And I am out of Warrenty.

Since new I have had a whistling/metal rubbing coming from my left front tire used to only happen when I was driving 40 k to 80k/h. Now happened all the time from 40k/h and up. Goes away in 4wd. And comes right back in 2wd. I tried the usual test for a wheel bearing and seems fine. I now have 130k on the truck. Brakes will need to be done soon. I was planning on doing them when I switch back to winters. Any ideas?

I have bought my truck brand new. Not long after I notice a whistling/ rubbing sound. Pretty faint but I can hear it. It is fairly consistent. In between 20 and 80 km/h in 2wd. As soon as I switch to 4wd it goes away. When I switch back to 2wd it will gradually come back. Sounds like it is in the front end. I now have about 80 k on the truck. Anyone else have an issue like this? Any idea what it is?

I just switched from a Ford. So I don't know. If they don't come out with one publicly. Maybe some tech savvy person can figure out how to be able to do it. I know that was the case on a few secrets like getting the seat belt alarm off.

Our devices will stream it fine but the sounds of it but it is the head unit (the stereo)that cannot receive it. without re programming. If it does come out in the 2021 models they can re program the 19s and 20s too.

I have gotten the krown rustproofing on my old truck. This is the first time I have heard of the salt eliminator wash. I will have to look into that. Is it done right through Krown? Or is it a concentrated bottle like regular car wash you do yourself.

I figured as much. Just like anything else they sell in the service dept. The Chevy racing jackets. The bar stools with the chevy racing logo, etc. overpriced big time.

in all fairness that also included tire guard (replaces flat tires no questions asked), Apperance guard that will fix any scratches or dents I get, and some other roadside assistance on top of the typical roadside assistance already offered. As soon as the price came up I could set that money aside each month and if I did all those repairs once, I would not spend all that $$ over the 72 months. I agree I cant believe people get sucked into it.

And there lies the issue I have surfed the internet and I read the articles like your first one of an oil based rustproofing company commenting on an electronic rust proofing like it is the competition and flat out saying it doesn't work. Is that the truth? possibly, But it can also be a marketing ploy. The internet is full of it. I have also read a few articles that I have come across in the past ( that I don't have access to right now) that suggested other wise and I WAS sceptical. That is why I posed the question to real truck owners that might have some experience with them. But after a quick surf of the internet. https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/whats-the-best-way-to-beat-winter-rust https://www.readersdigest.ca/cars/maintenance/rust-proofing-methods/ They suggest it might be a viable option. So I apologize for apparently wasting your time, I guess when I have a question regarding vehicles or anything for that matter. I will do a google search and believe everything I read, and not take into consideration who is posting it and why. I recognize you are a senior enthusiast and you are probably very knowledgeable. I understand now there can stupid questions.

So the dealer tried to upsell the electronic rust control (among the tire guard and apperence protection) Up hear where we use a lot of salt and brine on the roads I have used a oil undercoating on my vehicles for years, I am a firm believer that it works. But this electronic module they put on I have done a bit of research and from what I hear it is as good as oil underspraying. But for an extra $50 a month over 72 months. I think that is a little pricy. So my question is who has this electronic module on their truck and does it work? And where can I get it aftermarket.?

I bought OEM sensors online had them installed into aftermarket wheels. I have driven about 60K with them. I tried the relearn in the truck (turn it on, go to TPMS section of the DIC put it into learn mode and done the procedure of releasing air and re inflating) with no luck. I have not got the re learn tool yet. They are the 433mhz. part number 13516165. Do I have the wrong ones? or do I need the tool to have the sensors program?
