They charge like $50 for two. Just tell them the tires need a road force and you'd like the tires rotated on the wheels if necessary. I tip the guys who do the work lol. In regards to balancing Discou

Update:: I jacked up the rear and noticed my passenger rear tire has play in it as if some lugs were loose but they are not so I’m figuring it’s the rear axle shaft ima have to replace

And you've done the normal things like check tire balance and road force on the tires??

 

Other things to consider on cv axles and driveshafts causing a vibration.

Google "Chevy Shake", I have a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ 4x4 and it happened to me. There is a bulletin out on it for 2014-2018 models. They will start with flushing out the transmission and if that doesn't work then they will work thru to the converter/transmission. They say it could be the fluid used in it. They flushed mine and I've put about 5k on it and haven't had any issues since. If i remember when i get to truck I'll send you the bulletin number.

Yea bud I go a buddy who just lost a 14 wide on the hwy... I always told him as a good practice swap the hubs once a year or so. He said his didn't even have any play. I told him... Well I told him... And he was approximately 2yr in on his. Just a pic for reference.

Ain’t much play in front it’s more of the rear now and as I’m driving I look at the tires through the mirror and I see some play like the tire is bouncing

Rear shocks or tire needs a true road force balance. I see this every day here in texas. Which if your in DFW i can recommend the only shop across dfw that was able to balance mine.

I’m in corpus but I will definitely look at the shocks. Could it be possible that they are extended to its max

      OCI, not when but why?

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
