The shop I have my 2005 GMC 2500HD 4x4 Sierra at is saying that I need the ball joints replaced. That it's causing my rear tires to wear bad. Does this sound right? I just came off a long trip

Let me understand this.. I ask you guy's a question and before you send me the answer, you want to charge me. Then you ask if I resolved the problem and if so, tell you how I did it. Well I did resolve it and I would be more than happy to tell you how. $29.95 with get my detailed response.

I have found that when you are going to engauge 4x4 high, it is best to only be going about 3 miles an hour. Not faster, not stopped. It likes some movement to help it mesh. I've had perfect shifts since I started this. Hope it helps. Wade.
