As long as you are able to pay off the note on demand there is certainly no problem with that. The only peeps that truly suffered during the Great Depression were the ones living on credit. 

 

We qualified for a home 3X more expensive than we bought but I limited our ceiling to 1/3 that in anticipation of:

 

1.) Loosing 2/3 of our income...a possibility over a 30 year note. It seemed to happen with regularity over history. 

2.) Paying the mortgage off as rapidly as possible to dodge reason #1. Payed it off in seven years.

3.) Saved 200 K in interest payments far exceeding investment income and over and above tax savings of holding mortgage debt.

 

I hold this same idea buying anything else. Can I afford a $100K pickup? Today I can. Tomorrow, who knows. But instead I bought a lightly used one year old thousand miles on the odometer 1WT for LESS THAN one fifth that cost. No payment and a new truck! Then took the "payment" money and invested that.

 

Proverbs 22:7

 

A rich man rules over poor men, and a borrower is slave to a lender.

 

And what did I give up?

Things that break and are expensive to repair. 

:wtf:

 

Even this lowly 1WT has features I don't use, don't know how to use. Have no interest in learning how to use AND still finding features after 6 years I never knew it had. Telescopic sun visors?? Who knew, right? 

 :crackup:

 

If you can make $80K on a $19K investment in six years your peddling something illegal.

😱

The current 4.3 isn't a dinosaur.  The Vortec 4.3 before it was.  Current one is only 7 years old, same as the current 5.3 and 6.2.     The LV1/LV3 current 4.3 is just the Gen 5 L83 5.3 with

Word from 'gmauthority.com' is a regular cab short bed model will finally be available with the 2022 refresh.  They are saying it will only be offered in WT trim.  I still want one!

Anyone like the new custom front vs the 19-21? I like it better but yes painting a couple of things would have made this work truck look better 

I prefer the '19-21 painted body color, looked more like a budget RST. Dislike the '22 black plastic molded grille, and the new style looks "pinched" in the middle.

If I could put one on a shelf and just look at it a painted nose would be great. But the 1WT black plastic nose on my 2015 has proved to be extremely durable and good looking. Cerakote keeps the white moss looking type fade away. I would expect that would be true for the new models too, don't you think? That's a 6 year old 150K mile highway nose there.

This routine again. Offer it only in a trim nobody wants, and then wonder why it didn't sell...

 

I mean, honestly it's the same BS with the long bed.  Some people want a single cab 8 ft bed truck with "features".  Thanks, GM, for making that not possible.  Not everyone wants one just for a "work truck".  GM really has their head up their...you know...with some of these decisions they make lately

GM these days never ceases to disappoint me. Building these trucks in wt format is another in a line of recent let downs!

 

Exactly...

Well it doesn’t even let me build a WT regular cab on the Chevrolet website for the 2022. 
 

Anyway, I’m trying to decide between the regular cab Chevrolet or the regular cab F150. Both would be 2wd. The F150 allows me to build a regular cab, normal bed with the benefit of 3.73 and elocker. The Silverado doesn’t offer the elocker. 
 

 

The 3.3 is what I would get, it’s a pretty reliable engine from all accounts. Then again, the 2.7 turbo would allow for much more power in base configuration, my only issue is, it hasn’t been out in the wild for long. The 2.7 is what I would prefer. 
 

 

I’m moving back home and commute to work and back would be at least 100 miles round trip. Both would offer solid MPG in that configuration, but I need reliability.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm well aware of the typical bathtub failure curve, but plotted, this truck has been more like an elevated straight line.  It started days off the lot with misfires that GM couldn't solve for almost 2 years, and steadily continued over the last 5 years with repeat replacements of wiring harnesses, camera modules, cameras, parking sensors, head unit, rear windows, rear leaf springs and bushings, lower control arms, a radiator, and now an ac compressor and a column shift assembly.
