Front left hub and wheel bearing finally went (was original). Cost increased when a break line also failed during testing. Right rear shackle broke (another weak point on the GMC trucks)... entire bed tilted. Had to replace the shackle ($13 part). GM used a very cheap part on what is supposed to be a 2500HD vehicle... part rusted out and broke.
