Decoding GMC Sierra

Hello all. I am looking at buying a 2006 GMC Sierra SLT z71 4x4.  Only seen pics as of now and not in person.  I have the vin and cannot determine a few things. 

 

Doesn't Z71 typically have the decals on the bed sides and fender flares?  This rig does not. So what codes designate it had flares and decals or is there. 

 

I see it has 4.10 gears, m30 tranny, np8 t-case DIC etc.  Believe it has the 5.3 engine. So driving like an old man what would the typical mileage be 14-15?

 

Looks like this has all the bells and whistles like leather, sunroof, Bose, buckets with console, steering wheel controls, ext cab etc.

 

I  am trying to get  a carfax or autocheck tomorrow to see if any issues. Anyone help out with a free check with these two places? 

 

Has 126K miles, of course owned by 77 year old that took care of it, not a dealer private party.  Any suggestions on what to look at or for when i see in person here shortly.

 

Thanks all for help.

I did gt a copy of the glove box codes. I can find some of the codes shown on the sticker from glove box but not all.  So who can help out to show me what all this rig has in/on it for options, drive train etc?

 

Anyone run an autocheck for me to see if any accidents, flood, auction or service records?  

 

Thanks for the help

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
