Back with Chevy after 10 years.

Hyboost · December 5, 2015

Hi everyone. I just purchased a 2015 Silverado LT "All Star" edition. It has the 5.3 litre engine & 4 wheel drive.

My vehicle for the past 10 years has been a 06 Nissan Titan. Before yelling at me, let me explain. Before that I bought my 1stcnew vehicle, a 2001 Silverado HD 4x4 with the 6.0 engine & 4:11 gears.

Seeing I was a Certified Chevy Technician for 10 years at the time and working at a Chevy dealer for 13 yrs, of course I bought a Chevy. Well, after 1 month my new truck started knocking..bad.. I checked all the bulletins, recalls etc. Chevrolet said they'd do nothing b.C "It will not effect the longativity or reliability" of the truck. Well, a couple years later I opened my own business but still owned the truck. (See GMPistonSlap.com). After 5 years & 54,000 miles, the heads warped and GM told me the engine needed replacement. Which they did after a $100 deductible. I never beat this truck, synthetic fluids only. So I traded it on the Titan. God I loved that truck. 10 years and other than a couple warranty repairs the truck was excellent. I was going to buy the new 2016 Titan but I didn't like it. When I saw deal going on with this 2015 Chevy I couldn't pass it up

So here I am, trying Chevy again. So far I love the truck and hoping it gives me as much pleasure as my last truck did.

Welcome back!

Hopefully the '15 treats you better than the '01 did.

Thanks. I installed the usual stuff, Bedliner, cover, vent shades, nerf boards. Also a Rough Country leveling kit, 2.5 front & 1" rear blocks. Had 255 70 17 tires, so i changed them to 285 70 17 Cooper Discover AT/3 tires. Looks nice.
