Trading in my 2003 Suburban SS project tommorrow - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I always heard it was easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

I got real tired of my daily driver. 2003 Chevy Suburban that i purchased brand new in August 2003. I recently picked up a 16ft enclosed trailer thats giving the suburban hell. Spent $600+ in fuel on a 944 mile trip a few weeks back. So it had to go.

BUT, I decided to go with a 2011 FORD F-250 diesel Lariat

I beg for forgiveness from the Chevy Community. I really...really...REALLY tried to find a Duramax Diesel within the same range and it was impossible. I have seen all the videos of the Duramax dragging the F250 and its sickening to buy the FORD after this... But it is what it is... I still have my 81" C10.. I always said i would get rid of the burban before the C10

I NEVER thought i would be buying a new FORD

now i have a garage full of chevy Suburban parts with no suburban... ss front bumper, black grille and headlight conversion, molded black carpet, slotted and drilled rotors, speakers, black led tail lights,black led 3rd brake light, tail gate leds etc... dam. The wife is going bananas

Did you drive a Dodge Ram? The Cummins is a proven engine platform. The 6.7L Scorpion Ford diesel hasnt been out long. And im sure the wife would let you park a dodge next to a dodge.

nothing is forsale... I put the Silverado SS Bumper, Range Rover black projector lights&grille conversion, led 3rd brake light and LED black taillights on the truck today. Even sanded the hood and roof down. Humidity caught me so I couldnt lay the satin black on the hood, bumper and roof. When the sun breaks thru and burns the fog I'll be spraying it 1st thing in the morning and will be at the dealership as soon as the paint is dry
