I have a 2007 Sierra(GMT-900) with 86k on it and I just failed my state safety inspection because of LF HUB/BRG, EXCESS PLAY. Does this sound right? It was the dealership so they wanted $475+tax for the work which seems a little bit much. Is this a serious thing that I should address right away or try and get another station to pass me. My truck looks pretty dorky with the ghost buster rejection sticker in the middle of my windshield.

where are you located and what is that exactly? are they saying your left front hub is going out? if so I'd get that taken care of. Any shop that does front end work could do that which includes just about any auto repair shop and most tire shops.

I have a list at home of all the things covered under the 100,000mi warranty which I believe was standard on all the GMT-900 trucks. I am 99% positive that Hubs / Wheel barrings are on it and that they should be covered under that warranty.

I went out to my truck and got the manual with the 2007 Supplement to the Warranty and it is covered. Called the dealership and they are going to fix it tomorrow at 730. I just dont get why they would try and charge me for a warrantable repair. Stealers

The dealership probably gets more money when they charge you, as opposed to whatever GM agrees to pay for warranty work. Moral of the story, know whats under your warranty, and bicker when you have a warranty claim.

An ancient trick that they may have been pulling on you is the double ticket. IE, they write you up for the repair that you pay for and also write you up for the same job on a warranty repair. End result is that they get paid twice for the same work. Pretty sneaky.

Bearings are not covered under the 100k

just the 36K.

 

I'm not saying I agree with it....but its just axles to the hub engine and trans...and associated electronics under the Powertrain warranty.

 

 

Sorry dude...but 475 for a dealership to replace a bearing is pretty good...they not exactly cheap for your truck.

The Delco replacements for your truck are between 216 and 245 depending on 2 or 4wd....on rock auto...I'm sure the dealer will charge more than this...so they are quoting about 1.5hr labor...thats not bad man.

If you have to replace one, why not do the other side at the same time? That's just me though, I wouldn't replace one side without doing the other. If it's not covered under warranty, I would do it myself and save some money, but once again, that's just me.

Read the 2007 Supplement to the warranty. It is explicit. The dealership checked their list of covered parts and has agreed to do the work.

I agree if one is shot the other is probably not far away. I would push while its in the shop to have the other one checked real close. It will save you the headach of a return trip and make them all the $$ at once, a win / win.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
