| Wheel problems |
First the transmission failed right after I purchased the vehicle 2 years ago. I had to buy a new transmission that wasn't cheap around $3,500. Then the front wheel bearings started with the right side last year just had a ton of play in it my mechanic found it when lifting up my truck for a tire rotation. Then the left front wheel bearing just started making a load roaring noise but had no play in it at all that I could feel when checking it out. Both cost around $250 a wheel to replace. Now my 5. 3 liter engine is having a knocking sound when at a stop after driving about 30 minutes or when the engine is hot. Also I am hearing a slight ticking sound from the engine cold or hot. I have 4 small kids so I need a very reliable large vehicle and this is Suburban is driving me and my wife crazy having to poor money in this vehicle every year. I am the soil provider for my family I cant afford putting all my money into a vehicle like this.
It wouldn't let me pick tires I have a set of 4 bridgestone deuler h/l and the tires have 2 tires have 6/32 of tread and the other 2 had 8/32 and on all 4 tires the belts are separating !!! I used to have a cdl license and drive tow trucks and if I got pulled over by the state whether it be by d. O. T. Or state police I would receive tickets and possibly be stuck at weigh station waiting for a tire repair service to show up !!.
