New recall

Silverado4x4 · March 29, 2016

Loctite required? They never heard of a nylon locknut? Or is that too expensive to use?

Loctite will hold far better then a nylon locknut, I have had nylon locknuts back off and come loose.

There are many different types of Loctite which I think its the red that has to be heated to remove the nut, each color has different holding strength. If it were me making that decision whether to use Loctite or a nylon locknut I would go with the Loctite every time.

I'm guessing it had more to do with cost. Every shop already has loc-tite on hand. A new nuts sent to every dealer would cost much more.

I haven't looked under the dash but it may already be a nylock nut that just don't hold well enough or the nut might be welded to the bracket so thread lock on the bolt is the only option.

Just had my inspection and recall done tonight.

Asked about headlights and new bulbs with flashing ECM , did I fall in that category and bingo I did.

1 1/2 hours later all done.

A penny saved is a penny earned?

Had the recall taken care of during the first oil change. The note on the work order said the bolt had been installed backwards and was corrected during this service trip.

When they corrected this problem at the factory they reversed the bolt to let the dealers no it was taken care of at the factory.
