My previous '06 was around the same as kstruckcouontry's. Actually it was a little more since mine was a crew cab. If I recall it came in at 5800lbs. I had to weigh it when I drove down from Alaska with the truck.
I'm still in for the updates. I'm very curious what GM is going to say regarding this rust. As said, it looks horrible and maybe the metal was exposed to something other then salty air. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania and I've seen less rust on a 20 year old car that was rarely cleaned underneath.
See, with all the work you're putting into this truck, you've just got to keep it...at least for a few years anyway. I was about to look into doing some of my dash lights on my '06 but a Ford Ranger took care of that problem...
Dropped the truck off at Firestone to get some new tires. The ones it has are worn all screwy and not worth much, except to make all kind of noise on the road. Also they were 2" taller then stock size which wouldn't be bad but I'm going to hauling and towing and would much rather have the stock size and type tire on the truck.
From the records I was given with the truck...neither. Being a 2500 with the 4L80 trans I'd believe it to be original. The LS engine have been known to easily make this kind mileage so I'm confident that everything is from the factory with no rebuilds.
All right Zach so here it goes. Got the new truck. 2000 Chevy 2500. 363k miles. Well since I didn't drive it for all those miles do I get an honorary spot in the club?
Hoping to hear from the adjuster today about the final verdict on my truck. Meanwhile all I can do is look at the pictures of the truck then and now....
With a heavy heart I have to report what was probably the last thing I'll ever do with my current truck...driving to work...
I had forgotten something at home and turned around and only got about half way home when someone pulled out in front of me to go back the opposite way I was going. Everyone is ok but both of our vehicles are more then likely screwed. I'm still waiting for the final verdict on what's going to happen.
