My GMT 900 I had I bought with 29,xxx on it and traded it in with 72,xxx, owned for about 2.5 years. The truck I have now I bought in November with 42,xxx on it and I now have about 49,xxx. I roughly drive 15 to 20 thousand a year due to my better half living three hours away. She is in dental school and if I want to see her I have to make the drive.

Around 4~5k/year on the wife's Traverse, and projected the same for the '11 Silverado purchased 27 September last year with 3100 miles on it currently. That will probably go higher, however, as the Silverado will be the summer vacation travel vehicle, and the kids get their hands on it every time they have a chance. Just seems to be something real likeable about driving a 6.2 CC Silverado NHT!

Are you lost? LOL...all BS aside, my old man sold a 99 F150 about 3-4 yrs ago with over 200k on it. He saw the guy that bought it from him about 2 weeks ago and the thing had over 300k on it. Orig motor in it.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
