My 2002 Chevy Silverado is making a grinding noise near the front tires. I'm thinking it is the tye-rods (msp?). The boot over the grease fitting is leaking I'm pretty certain. <br /><br />Anyway, here is my real issue:<br /><br />I took my truck to the dealer this morning and they noticed that I'm just over 60,000 miles and that it is time for their $440 service.<br /><br />This includes things like: <br />Includes: Engine Oil Change, Oil Filter Replacement, BG MOA, Chassis Lubrication, Fluid Level Inspection, Rotate & Balance Tires, Check and Adjust Timing, Inspect All Belts & Hoses, Align Front End, Flush & Fill Cooling System, Replace Fuel Filter, Drive Train Service, Inspect Brake System, Replace Plugs / Scope Engine, Service Emission System / Replace Air Filters & PCV Value, Install BG 44K1 (A Service Kit) Fuel System Cleaner, Clean Fuel Injectors, Inspect Exhaust System, Battery Protection Service, Service Transmission, Adjust Parking Brake, Clean Throttle Body, Performance Check Up<br /><br />If it were free, sure I'd have it done. I'm just not sure if it is worth the $440.<br /><br />My wife's Chevy Impala had it's catalytic converter get "clogged" and we limped into town a few months ago. Thankfully, it was covered by the warranty even though her car also had just reached 60000 miles. We were so relieved that it wasn't our transmission going out that we let them perform the service.<br /><br />I know the decision is mine, but do you guys (and gals) let the dealer perform this "necessary" service to your vehicles?
