    Wheel bearing shot, mechanic is on medical leave

    Usually it takes me less than half an hour to replace a wheel bearing - it's not rockt science, you can do it yourself. Maybe watch a few YT videos before, if it is your first time.

    OIl Grade Suggestion for 300k 6.0L Chevy..

    Well, when at operating temp, it's just a 40 grade after all and the 0W part doesn't have any meaning anymore.

    SSD Life

    It always makes me wonder, that the SD card in my dash cam - which gets constant data writing since years now - never failed. I expected it to replace it maybe once a year, but it still works after 4+ year.

    Oils in other countries.

    Yes, basically it's just a different naming convention because of several law suits. To call an oil synthetic (vollsynthetisch) here in Germany, it must be 100% group 4 oils. If it is a blend with group 3 oils it is called "teilsynthetisch" (part-synthetic) or some marketing speak like...

    Dieselgate Part 2?

    Here is your problem: Legally the DHU is not more than your local boy scouts club - but the EU gave them the power to destroy whole industries.

    Dieselgate Part 2?

    The DHU should be shut down. They are car and personal mobility haters to the bone - it's like a cult. They already did massive damage here in Germany with their bogus claims, that cost us billions.

    That's what it looks like, when you drive 600 miles with loose wheel nuts.

    I had a similar experience - a wheel spacer broke and fall off - studs sheered, and if that was not enough, the wheel almost hit an other car and than rolled into a river. Needless to say, I had better days before - thanks god, I was already pretty slow at that point (just got off the Autobahn)...
