My condolences on the loss of your best friend. Good looking truck, keep it up for him. That is a very fitting tribute.

Having a few issues buying it, turned out the whole time my buddy owned it their was a lien on it!!!!! He didn't even know because he paid cash for it at a dealer 3 years ago, the dealer purchased it at an auction never paid the bill...I think. My banker is getting the issue resolved, good thing he found this out before I paid for it!!! But anyways I just can't figure out how it's been through so many hands, through different title searches and nothing came up...???? It's really confusing and I hope everything works out!! Especially for his parents who now own a truck that may possibly have a lien on it...

How in the world??????? That dealer has some major explaining to do because that is fraud and theft IMO. In other words that dealer stole your buddy's money, or (i'll give them the benefit of the doubt) the title was never transfered correctly. Which again I believe is the dealer's error.

 

I hope this all works out for you man...

Ya it's all f***ed up, I find out in 30 min what is exactly going on. Seems to me like GMAC had a lien against it from when it was repo'd before my friend even bought it. He paid cash so their wasn't a title search at the dealer, the lien is for $6000...it's getting solved soon tho..hopefully!!!! :@

It's huge, it also has one burnt out light it in too. They are 55 watt hid piaas. And it has 55 watt high and lows as well, you can turn all 8 on at once. It's crazy bright!!!! But I was lookin around I don't know if I can just buy a bulb for them or not??...the lights are like $300 a piece.. :-I

 

Also never bought a winch for a truck only atv's. Always had Warn's, I imagine warn winches are good for a truck too? Ithe bumper can take a 12k lbs winch...thinkin about buyin one. Any thoughts?

Well you may as well finish off those rear tires for a video for us, LOL!

For a winch I would stick with Warn, nobody ever has anything bad to say about them.

 

 

Plus, nothing else on that truck is cheap, so why have a cheap winch!

Ya when I strike on a set of tires I will for sure make a good one. She lights em up pretty easy ahah. You gotta be careful with this thing, it's a whole other animal. I pinned it yesterday on the highway to pass someone at about 105 km/h the roads were wet and it broke loose kinda went a little sideways on me lol. I only had it on the 450 HP/900tq setting on the dsp5. I had some fun with it tho, I spanked a brand new 5.0 mustang with it in thunder bay the other day too. I tried to get a STI to go at it too but he wouldn't go for it lol.

 

Found a few gremlins too, windshield washer fluid started spraying all by itself one day LOL. The one amp research step doesn't like to go ALL the way up as well. I bet he's up their laughin about that one LOL. And about the bald tires lol.

 

As for the winch I'm gonna wait till spring to mess around with it. But I'll

Be shoppin around for a warn it sounds like.

:puke: that's awful looking. Take off the tacky chrome bug shield, window visors, and bed rails. Replace the cheap ebay headlights with stock ones then clear them. The bumper is a whole nother level of gaudy

 

Edit. And the fgt chrome gas cap...

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
