Someone explain this Burb I saw today, It had a SS type front end 03+ and the tail lights where new style, same as a truck. color was Black. new type roof rack and mirrors.

 

This thing looked NEW, Clean all over even under it, It was at a school, the guy was droping off his kids, this did not look like a conversion

I wish I had a pic.

I know that in Mexico Burb's switched front ends I believe the same time as the Silverados. You can check out GMs Mexico website. I see your from Texas, so that woudln't be out of the ordinary to see someone who moved from Mexico. Thats my guess.

If the front end is wiped out or if the guy has money to blow, the front end could be easily changed out. Just hood, fenders, and the front clip. Or OUMike said, it could be a transplant from Mexico.

Should be a Mexican one. I saw a black one at the resort my wife and I stayed at outside of Cancun last Sept. Pretty sharp looking.

:D:cry: That thing looks silly with the front end like that and the back end resembling that of the truck!! I sure hope they don't try to sell that thing here in the USA, I'd have to add it to my list of Ugly Vehicles right next to the VW Bug and 96 Ford Taurus! :D:D

STOCK...............Do you live near the Arlington assembly plant

or GMs test track there in Texas?

 

Could be a factory test mule................Not sure if some mexico

assembled vehicles meet US emission or crash standards.

I have seen these Subs in various dealer lots for over a year here in TX... I just figured that the dealers were changing body parts or sumthin...

 

For some reason, the new style front end looks better on the Subs than it does on the regular trucks...

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
