Default Well after 5 years....

and 182,000 (130,000 of mine) miles, Its time to say good bye to one of the best trucks I have ever owned!!



Nothing wrong with it!! But since I am a one car owner I need to make sure I have something dependable all the time.

But I will see her often as my friend Pete bought it from me and will use it as a tow vehicle and 2nd car.

So here is the new replacement, I hope it will be everything the old one was!!

2008 GMC Crew Cab, Z71, 4 X 4, 5.3 motor, 28,000 miles









And ask CB to show his new toy he has been hiding fr a few months now!! 2010 Toyota Tacoma!

Sharp looking truck MJ. I'd like to have one just like it. I've got around 188k on my GMC Yukon but less than 5k on a fresh rebuild. I'm not planning on letting it go any time soon. I'd rather spend occasionally to keep it running than start any new payments right now.

Thanks guys!

No worry Wilson the snow will be here soon! I had a few come here and give me price on a new lawn, But the cost to have to cut grass was greater then I wanted so I got a truck instead!

Blue, nothing wrong with the old one, nothing ever rebuilt and runs great! I thought about a car and keep the truck for just towing, but the extra cost of the 2nd car and maintenance I just decided to go with the whole change.

RCK looks like all the rest! But this one aimed at you LOL

I hope I made the right choice?

But Kenny and CB both got new trucks! I wish I could have done new! But theses full size trucks cost some coin!

MJ, I drive virtually the same truck every day for work. I have the 2007 Sierra 1500 with the extended cab Z71 4x4, not the crew cab, but other than that our two trucks are identical (including color). I've got 75,000+ miles on it now and never had a problem. Just give it the regular maintenance when it's due and it should purrrrr like a kitten for you for years to come. You made a very good choice.

good looking rig, enjoy. wife's tahoe (02) has the 5.3 and it's been flawless for 145,000. it is the first gm vehicle i have ever owned(40 years driving) and will not be the last. i think your old truck had the 4.8, can you tell a big difference?
