Old truck is a 2002 Chevy 1500, Z71, with the 4.8, 182,000 miles

It has plenty of power for what I ever needed! But this 5.3 has balls!! I could tell right away on the test drive!! The sales guy never told me what it had, but I hit the gas out of the parking lot and said wow this has the 5.3!

The oly thing I did when I got the 02 when I got it was to tear out the rear springs and replaced with a set from a 2500 to boost the rear for towing the camper (30' Holiday) and cranked the T bars.

So far I have not touched the new truck, but we will see?? I am not towing the camper much these days.

Destroyer, thats good to hear! I do all the maintenance all the time! CB will tell you I drive hard, but I am always up on everything! So I am sure it will last!

phatdaddy, I am a huge GM guy!! I have been driving one on and off for 25 years, and for the last 15 years with a 1 year slip in 04 when I bought a 98 F150, one year to the day I got rid of it and never looked back!

First off, you bought an '08 not an '09. Show us all your bed mats.....:P

And secondly...............:bat::bat::bat:

Thats what it says :head:

Keep poking the hornets nest. :bat:

Nice truck MJ, although my favorite was the old black blazer.

just great, another lovers quarrel brewing here...

Ummmmm.....Nooooo. Just someone with his mental capacity shouldn't be allowed to have full control of the buttons.

:you:

Were is the pic's of the Yota?? You embarrassed??

It is amazing how attached you can get to a truck! I have a 1991 Chevy 3500 that I am still running, (under 100,000 miles still) on it's second paint job, and I still love it. I know how much you are going to enjoy the new one, and Ill bet you will still miss the old one form time to time!!

Enjoy!!!!
