vegas style Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 well after shopping forever -8 months- i found a truck. 2006 Silverado LT Duramax 4x4 with 34,000 miles. its very clean and has most of the upgrades i would have done aftermarket fuel tank 40+ gallon, tint, exhaust, tires, brake controller. now i need a class on all the buttons and switches and tow mode stuff. it came with every manual for the truck engine and trans. a lot of reading. im very happy red wasnt my first choice but its growing on me. :rainbow1: Quote
desertskyz Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Can I borrow it to pull the toy hauler I don't have yet. LOL Good looking truck Steve. Congrat's. Is'nt it nice to have something new to you? Quote
bp-guy Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Nice truck Steve. The only thing I don't like about my truck is the placement of the heated seat switches. Sometimes I roll up or down my window and accidentially bump that switch without knowing it. Then a few minutes my back is getting hot. Other than that the truck is Awsome. It will tow your trailer like its not even back there. BTY Carmax is a great company. I had a front wheel bearing go out after I bought it. I have the 100,000 mile warranty and they replaced both front bearings because they figured it was safer that way. Cost me $50 for the deductable. Quote
rushjunkie Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Can't go wrong with that truck. The red looks great. Those steering wheel buttons and DIC will keep you busy for a little bit with all the settings you can change. Make sure you save the settings with the memory buttons on the door. Oh yeah, congrats! :rainbow1: Quote
ynot Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Nice truck Steve, you know it's coming so here goes" To bad it's not a FORD" :rainbow1: Quote

Dune Cruzer Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Nice truck you got there! Now you've just got to get some tow mirrors to complete it. Quote
vegas style Posted July 2, 2010 Author Posted July 2, 2010 yea still loving it! tomorrow i get to set up the surius sat. figure out some of the controls and move all the truck stuff in. BPguy--yea the heated seat button is easy to hit and turn on and will cook you but, yesterday i had the heat on for a sore back mussel with the AC blowing full. and i did add the carmax 7 year 100,000 mile warranty the truck was out of factory warranty. pete--yes it is good to be done shopping and i think i ended up with one of the best trucks i looked at. cruzer-- shopping for tow mirrors now going to have make sign for the dash to remind my to look back and check the hauler i will not even feel its there.... and the Red has grown on me i like it now!

I just had to replace the front wheel bearing on my wifes tahoe; an 07 with 40k miles(just out of warranty). I pulled the thing apart, and drove up to the dealership...that lil' cost me $450 just for the part, and I did the work myself. I told the wife to stop cornering like shes in nascar A $50 copay sounds pretty good to me! Quote
sandawg Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Outstanding Steve. Nice ride for sure! And yes, cool drive RED!!!! Quote
