What age / mileage do the bearings typically start to go on these 14-18 trucks? 

 

Is there one side bearing that typically goes first? (had an old subaru, it was always right rear)

I'm at 90k, just put new AT tires on this spring. Started getting a light drone / hum noise in the front. Can't tell if it's just my AT tires or a bearing going out. 

 

Tends to slightly decrease the drone / hum in a right turn, stays constant during straight driving and left turns.

My right front bearing for my 2016 got replaced in Dec last year at just over 91k miles. It wasn't constant but was definitely there when turning left or driving left sweepers. Not a loud growling, just a different noise I could hear. New bearing installed and noise was gone.

80k Thought it was tire noise, replaced tires (no slop or wiggle when grabbing the wheels on a jack). Drive truck after new tires, aahhhhhhhhh

 

Turns out both front wheel bearings shot. 80k

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      IMNTBHO;  the worst thing for the 6L80 is to be lugged down to low engine rpm while in high gear......AKA, to save fuel.   I rarely use D on my '16 with the 6L80 and use M mode to keep engine RPM above 1500 at the speed I'm driving, which is also benefiticial for the tranny because line pressure is kept up because the pump is actually turning a decent speed, and it's not always hunting to drop to the next gear to lower the engine RPM's.   Never above 30mph.............M3, maybe M4 if just driving thru a small NoDak town Never above 40mph............M4 Never above 50-55mph.............M5   This is way better for the tranny and the engine.........especially if AFM is still active.   262K miles on my OEM 6L80 as I type this.

      If they had nuclear material for "11 nukes" we'd have seized it.    Our military has been rendered either too weak/dumb to seize it, or they don't have it. Your pick,K-nut. Because right now we're fighting over who gets to toll oil tankers in the strait.    I hope you're man enough to admit you've been taken for a ride when it's finished.

      I hope you’re man enough to admit that you were wrong when it’s finished.

      And you're obviously full of it too.  Apparently anything he does is perfect to you.  Don't you think this whole ordeal would have been better if he had maybe thought it all through first before bombing Iran at the request of his bffs in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar?  They are the ones that had the biggest issue with Iran.  Thus they have been pouring the platitudes and giving gifts/bribes to him.  Had he thought about the consequences of what would happen to the Strait before starting anything, we wouldn't have this issue.  Now he is stuck with no way out of this mess.  But you have your head stuck way deep in his rabbit hole to see anything else.  So no, I don't have TDS.  I see what he is.  The derangement is yours from no oxygen in the rabbit hole.

      Bringing of the fact that every President has said the same thing. They can’t have nukes. I guess you missed that before epic fury they said they had enough product for 11 nukes and weren’t giving it up. That not political or polarizing. The opposition of that is and giving aid to the enemy. The mandate is decades old through many administrations. The difference is TDS.
