Took my Yukon in for state inspection and the dealer told me they couldn't pass it because ther rear pads were gone and needed replacement. They "measured 0 mm". I was pissed because I just had the rims of this spring to pt summer tires on and knew there was plenty of pad. They were happy to offer new rear pads for $350. Mind you I just had them fix my A/C which was nearly $600...
I told them I would pick it up and di ther pads myself. Here's the drivers read pads. Doesnt look like "0mm" to me!
I measure 1/8" to the wear bar.

Im not a certified GM mechanic. Are these guys trying to make a quick buck @redline4?
This is why I have little faith in dealers.

The other one, Charlie likes the unicorn. Mya is a bit too old, but it could be residual unicorn hoeness bugs rubbing off on her! Lol
A few more pics from my Montana trip... Not great pics. It’s hard to get good ones through the windshield... especially when I’m driving!

Yeah, I gotta buy some NV4500 oil and I guess it’s kinda pricey. I’m just not sure why the guy I bought it from thought he should drain the fluid out of it before selling it to me.Granted this is more expensive than the stuff the trucks use, thats only $33 a bottle.

I dont set the prices. I just fix broke stuff.
This is the fluid used in our AWD suv rear differentials, on the hydraulic clutch side.
Different fluid goes on the gear side.
