05 Silverado hub assemblies
While traveling to Palm Springs from Vancouver BC last Fall, I had problems making tight turns - felt like the power steering was going. Loud clunking coming from the front end. Stopped in Sacramento for a few days and took it in to Kuni, a local GM dealership. Turns out I had to have both front hub assemblies replaced. As most of you know when you are on the road you have to put your faith in someone at the dealership. I am not saying the work was not required but what can you do?
My 05 Silverado 2500HD has only 75,000 miles (mostly hauling the 5th.) So was surprised when I got the bill...$1,602.97
They said to keep the paperwork as these hub assemblies have a lifetime warranty - why not install those the first time!!
The bill also included $100 to replace the serpentine belt which I had just purchased prior to this trip and was going to put on myself. Thinking it was going to be a power steering problem i asked them to replace the belt aty the same time. $100!!
I very rarely use the 4WD on the truck so maybe lack of use might have had an impact, I now drive in 4WD at least once a month to keep everything mobile and lubricated.
Hey! - no smart-*ss comments from you Dodge and Ford folks!
