No scratches yet.  But I did just sell my 2002 Silverado. It sold in under 24hrs and I think I did well.  Got $6k for it and it had 200,000 miles on it.  The guy drove 3.5 hrs here to get it.  I think I did well considering it's age and mileage and happy.  Now the miles will start to rack up on the new one and so will the scratches.  :lol:


I thought you planned to keep it [emoji2373] no need for 2 trucks?

I had a bird hit mine in the side of the box early on that put a dent in her. Had and RV hit me in a parking lot that took paint but no dent and the tail light. Between me and my PDR guy it's still golden. I have to point to them for them to be seen. In fact the PDR guy took all the ripple out of the box on both sides around the wheel wells that the factory thinks is 'normal'.  Right now I have about six chips to fix. All really small but in places that get noticed. None deeper than the primer. I've gotten pretty good at this chip thing. It's a constant battle. The front bumper is beyond hope. I'll end up replacing it and filming it.

Yeah, didn't need it anymore since my wife and I lost our job.  Need to tighten up on finances.

Did some towing for the first time with the new truck. I like the camera for hooking up. No more guessing as to when I'm under the tongue.

Freaked out yesterday go to leave and there is fluid under the front of my truck (didn’t feel like water more like hydraulic fluid). Start freaking out

Why are you on squares of plywood?  If the coating can't hold up to tires then why did you put it down?

It’s holding up fine but the front tires are leaving rubber marks and they are a pita to scrub

I get it, but you know this level of care will soon pass!  It was a blessing in disguise when  I had my first paint accident on my pristine garage floor.  Six years now of treating it like a garage floor and it still looks decent!

Took the family to the Mat-Su Fall Festival yesterday and it was their first time riding in the blazer. The kids thought.it was too loud at first, but quickly got used to it and by the time we got there they didnt want to get out of the "monster" truck lol [emoji23][emoji41] Also, my wife learned that the Blazer isnt a sports car and doesnt handle has well as her Honda Odyssey lol but she enjoyed driving it home e8c513e20aeae21a3da97da94403548b.jpgb995736ef40fec188e374ebe22d163ce.jpgfdb8ba152abd9fdaa96536bec565a6e9.jpga36a41c23f03800df61d46f2c49598cd.jpgd6b4c78502146ea78a49056a45975f16.jpg

Odyssey is not a sports car, either.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
