Unfortunately, most of my dually's life was / is spent towing. It towed a 35 foot Outback travel trailer and then the 41 foot Montana High Country fifth wheel.

I started have some unusual noise happening last year at around 70,000 miles. I took it to the GM dealership in Mount Aire, North Carolina and they literally brushed me off.

When I got home I went to my GM dealership (Noblesville, Indiana) and I had them pull the wheels and give it a true once-over inspection. Turns out, I had two calipers bad (which was causing the weird noises) and my front brakes had only 1% left and the rears had only 3% left. That and couple other things I had done, they got $4000 out of me.... that SHOULD have gone to that dealership at Mt. Arie. It goes without saying, I was really ticked off at those folks in Mt. Arie for brushing me off.

The truck now has 80,000 on it.

So, for the OP? If you feel an inspection is worth while, then do it. But if you have a preferred mechanic that you believe in, then wait and have them do it.

Just my suggestion for your own peace of mind.
