It's the LS and it's not the 4x4 or z71. If I was to get all wheel, it'd be the z71. A white one at that, just cause I'd get it muddy and leave it that way.
Out here, it doesn't really snow that much to warrant getting a z71. Plus, I couldn't really afford one right now. I owed too much on the CSVT and had a lot to roll over. I owed 11,100(Rolled alot over from my other car) and got 4,000 for it. It had 145,000 miles on it.
It's an extended cab, LS, 5.3, automatic, 3.73 rear gears, locking diff, 3M clear bra, bedliner, Pewter Met. w/ dark graphite(?) cloth interior.
Kim, I was having all sorts of issues. I had just spent $1100 on a new oil cooler because it started leaking, which in turn got water in the oil and as soon as I got it back that evening it started knocking. I determined it to be a bad wrist pin which will eventually lead to a new engine or a rebuild. I was gonna have to rebuild the tranny soon too, synchro's going again. Also, it needs new half shafts and wheel bearings and the trunk leaks from a hit and run. All in all it wasn't cost effective for me to keep her anymore.
With the new truck, I've got a 7yr/72,000 mile warranty(covers everything except normal wear and tear items) that has rental car coverage, towing, 5yr/60,000 maintenence(oil change's and the like).
BTW, thanks for the SZ props.
Beside's, it's a Silverado. Those things run forever, I hope.
Tim, I'm thinking of coming home sometime towards the end of the year. I may be going to Saudi in Dec. for an AEF and I'd like to go home for a bit before spending up to 6 months over there. At any rate, I'll let ya know.
Mike
