I just thought I should let you know, you have my next truck. Only difference is I want it in the dark blue color to match the 1500 HD. I love the Z71, and hate the NBS with a passion that burns with the intensity of a thousand suns so...

AWESOME!!! truck is a dream, i walked the lot 4-5 times test drove all sierra's and silverado's... ran em hard and then this came in a few days later and they called me, and i ran up there... #1 immediately fell in love with the color! ( only seen a few this color) #2 thanked god that it was a z71 #3 out of all the trucks i test drove, this truck has bye far the best throttle responce ever!

 

 

good luck, steve!! :D

Those lights in the grille do look great!

 

 

 

Do you pull people often? I'm not a big fan of using the hitch as your pull point.

 

 

But atleast you didn't wrap the rope around the ball itself. :D That's probably my biggest "darwin award" pet peeve.

i've pulled 2 people with the hitch as my point to pull with just because it was the easiest at the moment, the only reason i pulled him bye his hitch this time was because if we would have tied the tow strap to the front i would have had to hook it to both of my tow hooks and it would have put allot of pressure on the front valance, the other reason i pulled him with the hitch was because it had his jeep in 4wd so i just had him nail it and i just gave him a little tug!

 

glad you like the lights i love the way they look and i get tons of looks from people when i'm driving with my fog's/and those grill lights on... she looks mean :devil:

 

thanks for the comments!! steve :)

    • I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.
    • Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.
    • If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.
    • Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun! 
    • I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
