Nice vid... Doesn't look like too bad of a job. Assuming it's fine to upgrade this as a proactive repair? ('14 Silverado with maybe 50k miles, no brake issues so far)
I had the auto door lock programed out on my '10.... could never get it done on my '14. Would love to save the wear and tear from the auto lock feature by having it turned off.
Yep, torque.
Late 90's lots o us fbody guys had warped rotors. We determined cause was wheel torque. Since then I've always torqued wheels by hand and never had an issue.
Maybe I'd think differently if I were a full time mechanic. But as a home mechanic - I do everything by the torque # listed in the manual.
I doubt it. .. I'd be shocked if gm paid for it since you're out of warranty.
Regardless, the non gm dealer was just a quick and easy excuse for your person on chat.
This is an easy post warranty repair for gm to make easy money on. Gm won't admit to a design fault for this.
