no chit. my truck is a 2001 silverado 2500hd 4x4 and its cheaper to completely rebuild and restore it than it is to buy a new pickup of the same kind. with the added bounus of only two cpu's instead of 7 or however many thay have now

How do you like the 8.1? I see some older suburbans with them. Any weaknesses, other than MPG?

great engines, they never need an oil change, you just add 1 qt every time you fill up

For sure. Just my personal opinion of course…but I believe 99-07 gm trucks were the best “modern” trucks made. I would be perfectly fine driving one for the rest of my life.

i like it. it has lots of power. i had to change the cam position sensor at about 75000 miles. and the tentioner pully at almot 200k other than that its been solid. im replacing the upper and lower control arms and the steering from pitman arm to the idler bracket now. with 206k the ball joints have made it all the way til now. which is pretty good

me too. i have started the process of going through the underside while i save money for engine and tranny rebuild. then the body and such

I could see this exoskeleton being nice for wrenching under a truck all day. Especially as I get weaker and creakier.
