Be careful about running synthetic oil in your engine too unless you have an additive.

thanks for the good info...i will look into it when i stop into oreillys...im a little on the broke side for right now...gotta watch what i spend...i spent way too much these past few weeks, way too much. i i did get the driveshaft painted and installed...YAY no more wheel chock...

now i did take everything i put in it out except the 5 gallon air tank for the air horns....so now i have a custom box with subs and an amp with a 7" pioneer nav unit (the flagship model) and all the connections for it and the amp....so now do i sell it and get the stock navi radio??

VA72C10 · 11-20-2011, 04:10 AM

Nice

They ride so nice for a truck! Plus I personally like the styling better than chevy recently....

77chris03 · 11-21-2011, 10:33 AM

I drove both and the body on the chevy looks cheap...like theyre poorly put together and that front bumper looks like crap. Like i said this is "denali" without navigation and the sunroof. I love it so far, I miss the 4x4 but I don't play in the mud so its not a big deal. Awesome power awesome interior and a beautiful truck. I don't think I did too bad. I didn't wash have another car note but I bit the bullet. Sticker price new was 44,840.00. I got it with 21655 miles and 9000 for my truck left me with out the door with all the warranty I could get 100% bumper to bumper for 100000 miles for 22,800. After all said and done i financed 26500.. what do Yall think?

doesnt sound bad at all..i would love to have one of those new body trucks.

Bennett68C10 · 11-21-2011, 12:00 PM

Nice truck, sounds like you did pretty good. I agree I like the GMC's better than the Chevy's. They just look a whole lot better to me.

77chris03 · 11-23-2011, 11:01 AM

Im loving the truck but missing the 4x4. Oh well. Guess ill have to put a winch on it. Lol. I did get the proportioning valve but gotta redo one of the lines

Thanks....I still have a crap load to do with very little help....almost none sometimes...If i could only get rid of the 4 toys in the garage....it would get done in less than 2 months....hmmmmmmm anyone interested in 4 wheelers, a home built go cart, or a street bike???

VA72C10 · 12-03-2011, 12:10 AM

The emblems turned out nice. Sounds like you need to have a garage sale
