agreed 100%. I had a 99 Yukon that had a slight vibration/shudder when stopped/excelerating and was told by a local shop "We'll start by doing a fuel injector cleaner". I told the guy it was 100% my drivetrain and he told me he thought differently. I basically argued with the guy, then he told me for $70.00 he'll diagnose it. I walked out replaced the u-joints, etc to find I had a seal leaking and my slipyoke into transmission was leaking and drying up.
This is from a very clean, reputable, busy, shop. Dealerships try to upsell more than the required parts. I have always had good luck with Firestone Locations. But just as Dealerships or any other place they are hit and miss. Good luck.
Hey Denali...ever wonder if your truck could fly? This happened here last year. Guy had just shot and killed his ex-wife and her friend in front of his two kids during a custody swap. then led police on this chase .

Watch closely, just before the rollover he goes airborne over FOUR LANES of a busy crossroad, about 15' off the ground . Never would have thought that truck could clear it. He was really moving.

Killed when ejected from the rollover. Good riddance.
