HT tires on my truck...I think not...lol

I just couldn't bring myself to do that. Too many times of leaving the roadway and needing off road traction.

 

 

HT tires are are ugly too but they perform a lot better on road then AT tires and you get better MPG's with them

I noticed with HT tires over the old AT's I had that my mileage went up, hard to swing the ass end out on dry pavement, and a little more stability towing. The rear of the truck used to sway with AT's

I hear ya' when I first bought my current tires they accidently put on the HT version. I didn't have time that day to get them swapped so garage let me keep them for the day. It happen to rainand they were awesome on the wet roads and very quiet. I just knew what I was going to be using the truck for so got them swapped for my ATs. Just wish I could get more miles out of them. 35k miles and they are about done.

i had GMT800's and i traded one in and am selling the other one.. it seemed like every other week i was putting money into it whether it was a water pump or resistor for the fan blower..then i noticed rust forming on the lower rockers so that was the final straw. I made sure to put way more then half down on a new truck so my payment is small.. couldnt be happier

Had a couple gmt 800's, went thru a few rear diffs, wheel bearings, fuel pump in the 02, couple coil packs. Other than that only the usual like brakes, shocks etc...they were both awesome trucks!!

 

I will say the 06 was a much better truck mechanically than the 02.

315,787 miles on mine as of right now. Only major work needed was a trans 2 years ago but as of the last few months its needing quite a bit. Needs A/C work and front end work at the moment for the main part. All in all its been a good truck

Out of the run the 03 is the nicest truck compared to the later models. The newer they got, the cheaper they got....... 06 and 07 even lost all the carpet on the door panels, lol. It's not a money thing as to why I drive these old heaps....... I just like them. Hell I will probably get an 06 and 07 1500HD so I can complete my set, lol.

What motor/trans? 5.3 with the 4L60E

 

What have you had to fix? 3 water pumps total? 3 fuel pumps total? plus gaskets in between, front right hub bearing, front and rear rotors, drivers side window motor, 2 radiators (current one is 34 inches! it's a monster), 3 fan clutches (second time was not necessary), new coolant hoses, 2 or 3 thermostats, spare tire holder thing because my spare fell off driviing down the road! and probably some other minor things such as the fuel pressure regulator.

 

What do you still need to fix? majors are: a/c system, entire suspension is beat to hell, and probably all of the seals/gaskets on the engine, and the interior needs some things like the broken center console and the rear door handle. And not to forget the darn windshield wiper fluid lines that have corroded.

 

How many miles do you got on the clock? 211,xxx

 

I'm gonna drive it to the wheels fall off but we do have another car at the moment and i need to stop driving my truck daily asap. I can't stand it that she's my daily right now so it will have to change.

 

I simply love her beyond logical reasoning. My dad was about to trade her in a long time ago for a newer truck but I didn't agree and he decided to keep it. Everyone who knows me knows what she means to me and they even ask me about her as if she's a part of the family. Inside of the truck I have kept pictures of her and my wife for years and years...

 

At the moment I'm barely beginning my professional career after college with a family so I haven't had the funds for the truck just yet. But hopefully that will change soon.

 

I'm a proud member of the GMT800 family!
