One of my buddies stopped by for poker and his step dad came by to show me his new pickup. He bought a 2002 CC 2500HD Black Chrome Steps, but the small gas motor. He got to talking and said that they had an identical truck at the dealership that was red and I ought to take a look at it.

 

I called the dealer and they have one there. 2002 24,000 miles Red CC Nerf Bars Cloth Seat Every other option in it... Heated Mirrors, Compass Review, Heated Back Glass, Power Seats, etc. They want 24,999 for. It is a 2500HD.

 

So here is what I have now, 2001 Standard Cab D/A 2500 HD 33,000 miles, LS with some upgrades... Heated back glass, snow plow package, Compass Mirror, XM.

 

The main reason that I am thinking about it is I dont owe very much on my truck. Lets just say that my payment are 150.00 a month. Used DMX are priceless around here. He mentioned trading me straight out for it.

 

Will I hate the Gas Motor? I have a 35' Corn Pro 10K Trailer that I pull about 3 times a year that may gross 10,000 at the most. Will I regret getting that pickup? I know it is apples to oranges but give me some advice. If I keep the one I have I am not going to be buying a new one. I am not married right now, but I will be in October.

I would not do it. Just my opinion, but i think you would be dissapointed going from a DMAX to a 6.0L gas engine. Your talking about almost a 160ft/lb reduction in torque. Thats alot when towing a trailer like you have. If i was towing like that and i was going to trade-up for another vehicle it would only be an 8.1L big block, but even then its a 70ft/lb reduction, but you do gain 40hp with the big block. I would stick with what you have.

I would keep what you have for now and continue to look around. We got this 03 ECSB 2wd D/A in July with 12k miles for $26K on the used car lot of a Ford dealer.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
