hey everyone! my name is Kevin im 23 and i live in Buford Ga. My dad worked at the Doraville assembly plant so needless to say i was born and raised on Chevrolet, that all that was aloud to be parked in the drive way up until about a year ago. Anyway about 2 years ago i had an 05 extended cab silverado and a lady lost control hitting me head on totaling my truck and shattering my right knee. finally after 2 years if lawyers and fighting i am a week away from settling and buying a truck which i have already picked out sitting on a car lot near my house(if someone buys it before me I'll lose my mind!) It's a green 2005 2wd Silverado crew cab with 63K miles on it with a 5.3 and the 17 inch alloys on it. I have always had lifted 4wd's and this time i decided to try something different so im gonna build myself a street truck. as of now im thinking 2/4 drop, cam, trick flow heads and all the other normal goodies. i have a 98 honda accord i drive back and forth to work so this is gonna be my BadA** Sunday truck. wow i have rambled on way to much if anyone wants to know more fill free to ask I'm an open book and looking forward to getting to know some like minded CHEVY NUTS! here is a pic of my hopefully future truck(if i can figure out how to put a pic on here)post-102952-1318043972_thumb.jpg

Thank you, you have a good looking truck your self. i think it looks good when you up grade to a newer and bigger Chevrolet wheel.

Thanks, I traded my 2010 and some cash for it, couldnt pass the deal up the 2000 has 75,000 mile and is in great shape. It needed new tire and found a set of 18 inch oem factory take-offs for 975.00 so just had to get them.

wow a 2000 silverado with 7500 miles that crazy i wouldn't mind having that one. its hard to find that body style with low miles. my hope is if this truck does end up being mine i would like to find a set of 20 inch oem newer tahoe wheels. or if i found a set off 22 inch oem escalade wheels that wouldn't clean out my bank account i would love to have a set of them. its juat always nice to stay with oem stuff you run the risk of ruining the look or your truck when you buy after market wheels, some times they just don't look right for some reason.

hey everybody,

 

i know its been a while sine i have been on here, but better late than never right? anyway that truck i posted on here earlier was sold before i could get to it, but i am thankful that happened. i was able to find a heck of a deal. i bought a 2007 black silverado z71 4 wheel drive extended cab with 28K on it. i got it for about 7 thousand less than what KBB said it was worth and i bought from the original owner so i didn't have to pay sells tax! anyway since i have had it i have put lights behind the grill, likes under the rear, an intake, and tuned it. i am also in the middle of building a fiberglass sub box to fit under the rear seat. when i got it the older owner had already leveled it with 285's and had dual exhaust with a flowmaster 40 series put on. i have alot more plans for this truck. way to many to list and that list changes everyday so ill just keep you posted as i get things completed. here are a few pics of my new baby!

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
