Hello all I'm new to the forum and OBS trucks. I've creeped the forum abit but this is my first post. Back in October I bought a 98 K1500 Silverado SC SB with a 305. Being a New England truck it has some rust and it's a bit high mileage, 217k. I was working on some starting issues and giving it a general tune up. Making a list of issues and possible issues I found on this forum. I had purchased some used tires for it and had them mounted and balanced at a local tire shop last week. The tires it had on it were total junk and I needed something safe to drive on. Tires were mounted and I got a full 3.4 miles down the road when my front left tire shot of the truck and into the woods. Luckily I was not hurt and I didn't hit another car but the truck took full impact on the ball joint.Tire shop said all it needs is an alignment and I'm good to go. They blamed the lugs (I gave them new lugs but didn't push them to be used) and said they didn't trust them but it was late so what you gonna do. They insist a body shop looked at the front fender and said "it's too old to fix leave it alone". Needles to say it's a trusted garage now and I'm waiting on a full run up of the damages. Just needed to vent this to more than my wife and friends haha.
