new 1500
well, i finally broke down and bought a new truck. nothing fancy, just a daily driver that i won't have to worry about keeping up with on a day to day basis.
it's a 4.3 5speed with 3.23 posi. also got air, tilt, cruise and cd for under 14.5. i thought it was a pretty good deal. it's my first new vehicle.

Re: new 1500
Yours looks like a WT also, let me know if you need any advice on LS add-ons from the junk yard. Put an 2003 mini overhead console with lights $25. -- 2004 temp, air bag, compass rear view mirror $55--, and roof clearance and marker lights $60 on my 2006 WT SWB 4x4, 4800, 3.42 axles. I like Silverados.

Re: new 1500
You will only need to run one wire for your mirror temp sender and splice the pigtail that come with the existing mirror to the temp mirror pigtail. See thread below.

They told me it was a special order that a guy bought something different once it had arrived, but yours is the second one I've seen optioned almost identically and dalbers is real close? I wonder if they are blowing smoke - well, I know their lying out their a$$es (carsalesman and all), but was wondering if this was anywhere near true? How does the 4.8 feel for power? Its rated @ 285 so on paper it seems like it would be pretty stout, but sometimes that doesn't translate to the pavement very well? Its $19,6xx, but has about $4000 in discounts, including a $1500 "trade-in assistance". The price with the discounts is around $15,500. Ezernut9mm, did your price (14.5) include an GM discounts? Dalber, if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for yours? Not trying to be nosey, just trying to arm myself for the battle when I go in to deal with them!

Re: new 1500
I just bought another new one this week. Sold a 2005 6cyl 5sp for a 2006 4.8 5sp, SWB 2WD I really like the V8 that was the main reason I bought a new one plus all the discounts, got it very cheap! Only thing I don't like is the one I bought had HD Suspension package $95.00 option and I can't believe how much rougher riding it is compared to the one I just sold. Dealer says its just heavier shocks but it seems so much rougher, I can feel every crack in the road! I will have to fix it somehow. Otherwise I love it!
