Why this exists

I'm a GX460 owner, not a mechanic. Before I bought mine I spent six months in forum threads, Reddit posts and Facebook groups trying to figure out what to buy, what breaks and who to trust to look at a truck. The answers were out there, scattered across a hundred threads, and the same questions got asked every week.

This site is where I write down what I learned, with links to where it came from so you can check it yourself. When I haven't figured something out yet, I'll say so.

The fine print

This is owner experience, not professional repair advice. Suspension and engine work can go wrong in expensive ways. If you're not sure, have a qualified shop do it.
