check out the blue granite. I just got mine two days ago (5 weeks delivery time) and that color is really nice. I have the ltz extended cab Z71 with the 6.0. with the 3.73 rear end. I also got the ez lift tailgate and the safety package because I wanted side airbags. Good luck

White is probably one of the more durable colors in the long run and silver is probably one of the worst. You will notice fading and color differences in the silver especially where the painted polyurethane and metal meet. I guess it all depends on how you care for your car or what state you live in. Here in California, the sun gets to a lot of the lighter metalic color cars quick.

 

I have the white, but you are right, it looks like a work truck which is 1/2 of what mine is used for.

 

The 5.3L with the 3.73 (what I have)rear is no slug, but the 6.0L will probably make you happier since you are a vette owner :confused:

I would go with the white... Beautiful color! And since you have a choice the only sensable thing to do is get the 6.0L!

I got the 2007 Sierra in silver birch crew cab 4x4 with 20" rims and it looks awesome. Does look dull with 17" rims. The 20" rims make the difference. I got ebony leather and it is the LT4SA I believe. Well its loaded. In chicago area so its dirty otherwise I would put up a pic.

No offense to anyone that owns one, but I think that the Silver Birch is one of the ugliest colors that GM has put out in years, and keep waiting for them to dump it. There's no richness or depth to the color. It looks like it is 15 year old, faded out paint.

 

And I LIKE SILVER! But not the Silver Birch.

 

I have a Goldwing (1800), and it is Silver. However, my Silverado is Sport Red (my second choice in color), because I can't stand the Silver Birch. If I could have gotten a *real* Silver with a Storm Grey bottom, then I'd be in heaven.

I agree,

 

Id go with the graystone metallic or steel gray in GMC. Ive seen them in person and especially the chevy graystone looks sweet with body colored grill.

I guess it's a matter of opinion, but i think the silver birch is one of my favorite colors of all time, if you off road any, it shows virtually no scratches compared to any of the other colors. My favorite is of course the steel grey, "which i ordered" But there is a guy in town who has a silver birch cc, with the 20's and it looks sweet, he also has chrome handles and mirror caps and they really pop with the light silver. I really like the new colors, GM used alot more metallic than the older models, so they just have a better shine. Definitely go with the 6.0, it's no comparison. The 6.0 with 3.73 should be pretty decent on gas also.

Graystone Metallic absolutely ROCKS.

 

It looks clean when it is absolutely filthy and when it is clean, it looks sparkley and fabulous. I love it (but you could prolly tell :confused: )

My personal favorite would have to be Graystone Metallic, but picking between the sliver birch and white I would go with the white. I'd also go with the 6.0L.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
