Looking for a truck for my dad. Think I found one on craigslist. Its a 05 chevy ex-cab z71 with the 5.3 and 3.42 gear ratio. It has bucket seats and bose radio. Has newer tires. Has around 67,000 miles. He wants $13,000 for it. But it does have a small dent on the left fender and a small dent on the hood from where a tree fell on it. If he fixes it, he will want more for it. But overall does this sound like a good deal? Has anybody had any issues with the 3.42 rearend? He will be towing a small trailer once in a while.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I got an '04 5.3 ext. cab Z71 LTZ. Leather seats and bose sound. Just under 60,000 miles. Near perfect paint coat, no dents. I gave 18,700.

Doesnt sound too bad. A buddy of mine just sold his 04 Ex Cab LT loaded with 108k, cranked like crazy with different keys, 315s(fenders were trimmed) and the 4x4 was on the fritz(not the button) for 13k

Even with a dent in it, I think it is a good buy. But its just talking my dad into buying Chevy product. How does the 3.42 gears do for towing stuff though?

never towed, but ive hauled a bunch of loads in the bed and she handles them just fine. the largest being 1600 pounds of a certain beverage for one of our frat parties a few times. take on the weight of the 4 guys in the truck and youre looking at a 2000 pound payload. and with the lift and tires ive effectively lowered my gearing to less than 3.42.

 

what are you looking to tow?

He would be into Fords. I keep telling him this is a good buy, but he is hesistant on spending any money. Right now he has a 1995 Ford F-150 regular cab, 4 wheel drive, automatic, small v-8 and only 75,000 miles. But he still won't get much for it, if or when he sells it.

 

He cuts wood to burn in their wood stove, so he would be pulling a single axle trailer full of wood, but that would only be around town. Doesn't the 3.42 gears shift allot when driving on the highway?

I paid $12995 for my shortie '05 SLE GMC. No issues whatsoever with the 3.42 rear end and I tow a 16' trailer with 2500/3500 on it regularly.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
