Just bought a 2001 Silverado 1500. Tailgate hinges are rusty. Replacement looks like a breeze.

Question: Is there a big difference between genuine GM parts and aftermarket (eBay)?

To help, I use the truck infrequently (less than once a week), and the tailgate even more infrequently (once every 2-3 weeks).

Thanks

- Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

  Does any of this change if the seller dropped the price to $22.5k? Mechanic is supposed to verify the transmission concern but they have not got back to me yet. Even if a transmission needed to be purchased, I'm looking at <$30k which puts me right back to where I started. In the meantime, I test drove 2 trucks locally back-to-back, one Denali and one SLE, the SLE was noisy, jerky, and did not inspire confidence, while the Denali was over $30k but just sold the other day. If $32k buys you a Denali with 100k miles and this truck can be had for $32k with a brand new transmission, with GM parts warranty, does that skew things? FWIW, all the trucks I drove locally had a much worse service history - emissions work, valve body work, one even had the whole transmission replaced with lower mileage than the one in TX. I'm guessing those were "short trip" vehicles, as they only racked up around 100k miles in 6 years - a lot less than 164k miles in just under 6 years.

  Morality and Profit are two dogs fighting over the same bone. The bone looses. Profit isn't always monetary. Position, power, leverage, prestige, celebrity, notoriety, fame; all forms of profit and those wanting whatever their currency is, don't care about who that pursuit hurts.

  Any 37 lin tire + wheels is adding a considerable ammt of unsprung weight, regardless of the height difference, so I stick to my mpg estimate. Also, front and rear gear swaps are probably pushing $3k after labor.

  @KARNUT a few days (pages) ago I ask a specific question about the ISO 4406 test. The WHAT and WHY. I hadn't posted to this thread in awhile an yet the response had nothing to do with the CURRENT question, but continued the same rehash of "What we do" and 'What we've done". It ignored the question in its entirety. Now the CURRENT query is further being derailed. "I like what I've got and I don't want to talk about your question I want to talk about why I don't want to talk about your question". Stan that isn't interesting. It's disruptive and unproductive. I tired again further up this page with post on the same ISO method expanding that thought and this below Irrational, it doesn't and it can't and it was explained not just by me but by the MANUFACTURE and was disregarded and Stan I find it tiresome. I get it when people are satisfied with there routines. I get it that some don't like having those routines questioned. Know what I don't get? That these people insist on making sure that no one else gets to explore something they DO find interesting and worth the pursuit. Guy's if you don't like chocolate ice cream and chocolate ice cream is the topic why the compulsion to pick it up and disrupt the exchange of people that do?
