  • Another day another truck, its time to fix the front right side suspension, so we can get it off the trailer. Mike fixes it just enough so we can roll the truck off the trailer. We get it inside the shop before the big upcoming snow storm. Thanks for Watching and Turn on Notifications to get updated for our next Silverado video.
