Well this is the new ride. Have put about 1k miles on it and have to say it's awesome. Been great having the crew cab and the power of the 6.4. Also nice still have about 3k of payload left even with my loaded gang box.
Did the inner tube between the leaf spring fix today. Went up North this past weekend and after driving around 50 miles of logging roads sounded like my rear end was going to fall off. Was kinda embarrassing my buddy's tundra was quite as a church mouse.
Really been giving the truck some attention this weekend. Cleaned the windows this morning and thought to myself I should grease the tie rod ends. Happy I did because one of the sway bar end links was completely broken. So just installed 2 nice new Moog ones.
But it seems to work for GM. They have a large group of fan boys who are convinced otherwise that it's ok. That's fine with me because there are other options.
The 6.2 is not the end all be all. I refuse to buy a truck with an engine that requires me buying such a high trim package. I can't get a 6.2 in the truck I would buy.
Drove my father's brand new 2017 ram 1500. Iam 100% convinced now my next truck will be a Ram. That 8 speed shifted so smooth you didn't even know. Also unlike any gm i have driven lately mashing the gas the truck actually throws you back in the seat and goes.
Drove up to white mountains with my father in my truck to do some stream fishing for trout. Truck averaged 16.7 so iam happy with that. Been getting better mileage running 89 octane. Came home with 6 trout so there will be some good eating. Kstruckcountry I agree with you and now plan on getting LT tires this time. Was driving on dirt roads for the better part of the day and couldn't help but think some LT tires would add some piece of mind.
