That hospital bill when it happens at 65mph is not however

and no parts on any other car have ever broken?

<quietly crosses G8 GT off things to search for on CL when bored>

They are ok. Arms are only a couple hundred bucks even if they weren't free now.

Holy crap, didn't realize control arms were such an issue on the G8s. Do the Camaro and CTSV that use the same platform have the same issue?

 

is there a permanent fix? or is it more of a replace defective part with more defective part kind of deal?

They supposedly "updated" them a while back, but you know how that goes.

Stiffer springs, more robust frame, higher capacity trans/engine cooling, fuel tank large enough to go more than 150 miles between fuel stops, etc. etc. etc.

 

I've grown up with travel trailers and the difference in a half ton and a 3/4 ton truck (or 3/4 ton suburban) towing an 8 or 10k trailer is HUUUUGE. Not to mention you're not tearing up your equipment operating at the very threshold of its rated capacity.

 

Also, 12 hour trip with wife and 3 kids is a huge factor to consider. If you were going from Grove City to Deer Creek I'd say fuck it, roll the dice.

I know the differences, i work on them every day. I was just stating there is a lot more different than the engine.

So it's more so the power difference that allows the 2500 to tow more then the 1500? If that's the case they OP go get a blower on that rig

2500 has better drivetrain. Better trans, bigger t-case, bigger diffs, full floating axkes

Something like that might be best. Hard to edit something officially printed and sent from my carrier.

my mom runs a medical practice. she had to do this on a recent personnel issue

Special policy?

Not nearly as much noise as I've had in the past (3rd set). Started clunking on the way to work, separated on the way back.

Yes, means dealer will put new ones on free of charge. Can probably get a free tow out of the deal

Saw this last night. 15-16 duramax with another $50k at least in it. Nastiest sounding diesel I have ever heard. Sadly he couldn't get it to spool properly.

Fair response, I hope I wasn't coming off like an asshole.. but I have replaced some for this specific complaint and the problem is gone.. but I'm never just guessing at it, it's when you physically have play in one of the cv joints that I'd condemn the axle.. where do you work?

The only GM dealer in Zanesville. PM me for details.

really? just curious is that your amateur opinion or do you do this stuff for a living?

When I can't see the car in front of me, that's my amateur opinion. Bring it to the shop where I can professionally diag it, and I'll give you my professional opinion.

I do most of the NVH concerns that come through our dealer and have never seen a CV axle cause a vibration. But not saying it isn't possible. And it wasn't a command, I forgot to put "i've" in my CV axle comment in the last post.

Control arm bushing or ball joints

+1. Control arm bushings loved to fall apart on those. I've never Put a CV axle in any vehicle for a vibration

I encourage you to take the test. Some of you may be surprised.

The guy who said the Iran deal is marching Israel into the oven?

Like I said, I haven't kept 100% up with the issues. But iran/israel isn't high on my priority list
