Guess the Chevy platform isn't infallible after all. Have put almost 8k after buying in 2013, 6k this year alone. Definite wear on both inner sides on the front. At this rate it'll be the same as my grandparents E450. I find this overall very strange. We keep the water tank mostly full, black tank at least 1/2 and the gas tank full. If anything being the 3500 chassis would be the outer edge. Makes me wonder what the PO had on this thing to warrant such alignment.. must of been heavy!
Slop isn't near as bad as the E450 but there's 30k difference.
Tearing the front end apart when it gets warmed up as I think there's other issue's on the passenger side. When it comes down to it all boils down to alignment no matter what you have!
It is doubtful that the front axle is overloaded.
