Figured out today that I'm likely going to have to replace at least one hub on the Envoy. Started growling yesterday; got a little louder today (both days were about 50mi each day, and that's a lot of miles for me in a day with this truck, these days.)
Question - assuming the Envoy is occasionally used (but will be my only ride while I'm working on the Sierra) -- how long do I have until something 'serious' happens? This would be 'in general'; I know it's impossible to predict exactly.
In a best case scenario, I leave the Envoy, finish the Sierra, spend the winter someplace warm with the Sierra and come back and do the Envoy in the spring. Is that realistic, or do I need to address this 'right now' ?
If it's a 'right now' scenario, I may need to take it to a shop, and I'd like to avoid that, since I know how to replace them (I did the one side a couple of years / 10K ago; hopefully it's not the one that's shot. Although I may do both & replace them with 'lifetime' parts, this time (I can't find what I used last time, but seem to remember it was Cheap Chinese Crap))
My thanks in advance for your replies, gentlemen
