As a ex wrecker driver I've seen axels bent by improper towing techniques or transport so if you didn't buy it new it was probably bent before you got itNot sure but I've had the vibration and brake squeak since day 1. I always thought it was my tires. My 2016 had a similar squeak but brake lube always cured it for a few months so I thought this truck was the same. I got rid of the P-metric Wildpeaks because I was sure at least 1 was bad. Unfortunately my truck is so heavily geared up for off-road it will appear to be user error. My dealer is cool and will try to avoid letting GM know about all the mods because the dealer knows I've had this problem for a long time and prior to the mods.
You've seen me wheel. Can someone be more delicate? LOL

I bought it new so maybe it was just a rare manufacturing flaw or transport thing?As a ex wrecker driver I've seen axels bent by improper towing techniques or transport so if you didn't buy it new it was probably bent before you got it

Thank you for reminding me to put my fire extinguisher in the new truck. You will eventually need it, whether for you or to assist someone on the road. I remember 20+ years ago having to scoop water from a puddle with an empty pop bottle to put out a fire.Probably should have done this a while ago but I installed a fire extinguisher in the Tahoe.

Dang, I bet that thing gets roasting inside there in the summer, being all black like that! Congrats on the buy, though, I'd say it's a good value for money as long as the camper is in good shape and the engine is good.Bought it!

'82 f250 with a massive camper shell. Needs some stiffer leaf springs in the rear, new valve covers and some serious wiring work, but for $3500 it's a good starting point with solid bones.

Yep, new paint job is gonna be one of many upgrades. Camper is in solid shape but we're planning on some serious changes inside, the engine runs great except for the overtorqued valve covers barfing oil everywhere.Dang, I bet that thing gets roasting inside there in the summer, being all black like that!

So jelly of you 'muricans and your awesome GMRS regs down there. I recently wrote to Industry Canada urging them to harmonize with the US in terms of GMRS specs.On month five of waiting for my Overland trailer to be built. Been passing the time driving the Vette but I showed some love to the Ram 1500 by nearly finishing up my GMRS install.
Went with a 15w Midland MXT275 that is hard wired into the cab with a hood mounted antenna base. Waiting for my 6db gain antenna to arrive tomorrow to test out the range of this guy.
