Looky looky what i found this afternoon!!  :thumbs:

 

Sitting the back of the local Chevy dealership... a few new 2003 2500HD regular cabs...

I think they look pretty good in person!  Much better than in photographs..

Zane, judging from the outsides, are those both base model trucks?

 

I've still gotta check out my dealers lot and see if they've gotten anything yet, I just don't get out that way much anymore.

I sure hope they look better in person, because they sure are fugly in photographs.  :thumbs: Even the taillights, which look kind of cool because they have that jewelled look, are all lumpy which messes it up in my eyes.  :ehh:

Being an Av owner, I say they look pretty good.

 

Mervz, how much did you have to pay the dealer to have the gm-trucks.com advertising on each one? ;)

Well, I think they look freakin' ugly all around, don't really care for the taillights either.  ??? I really wish I hadn't been eating when I saw these pics, now I have a sick stomach.  :thumbs:

I'm with Tom here, those tail-lights just don't look right.

 

 

Now as for the rest of the truck, looks pretty damn good IMO. :thumbs:

 

 

Is the SSR supposed to hit the Dealers at roughly the same time as the '03 Silverados and Sierras?

 

I'm pleasantly surprised with the Silverados.  :P

Tail-lights look pretty good, just doesnt seem like they belong on a Silverado! The front isnt bad, but its not real great IMO! Maybe the 1500s will look a little better! Still dont think I will be tradin  in my '02 for an '03!

i forgot to give my overall opinion...

 

i think they are ugly.  the roundness does not go well with the sharpness.  also it is not much more than a face lift, GM will need more than that (and a much better looking face) if they plan on keeping dodge down and beating ford.  the chevys are a step in the wrong direction, all they did was add ugly to their 99-02 trucks.  the GMCs are better looking IMO.  they flow better.  i do wish they would move the logo on the GMCs to the center of the grille tho, it doesn't look right on the top.  

 

don't count on me buying a silverado anytime soon.

I still don't care too much for the new design (although I still haven't seen one in person),  But these pics do make it look better than the first pics released from GM.  I think the design works on the SS, and would probably look good on a sport truck, but I'm not too sure otherwise.  

 

But that's ok, I like the new GMC's (which I have seen in person :thumbs: )

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      Thank you. I'll give it a try

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By newdude · Posted

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
