Seafoam is supposed to be much more harsh when added to your oil. I believe you are only supposed to go a couple of hundred miles. Auto-rx stays in for 3500 miles cleaning slowly, you change oil, then wash it all out for another 3500. After that, just do regular oil changes


MJ2, my stock rotors are thick, but the pads are wearing faster on the inside all of the way around. I greased the pins, so hopefully that gets rid of the sticking issue

Yeah, its great at that. Drive a bit and drain.

Are you going to replace the pads? You have a Tahoe, right? Have a '11 that I do all my own work on, too. I just wish they had damn zerk fittings other than the two on the steering. Ridiculous. Just like my Tacoma, which has ZERO zerk fittings...

I'm gonna fool with my mine this weekend, but first step will be figuring out what I need to replace. I'm almost certain the (4wd) hub/bearing is going out. I've got vibration in the pedal that goes away in a gentle turn. I plan on changing the shocks, rotors, pads, and bearing all at the same time. What other components of the front end need to be looked at an possibly replaced when a bad bearing has left everything rattling for a little while? Last thing I wanna find out is I gotta pull all that shite off again.
