you know it bad when hoovie tells you its a pos lol

[@jecrpalier]

What’s bad is u don’t know body work. Simple easy fixes unless ur a noob. Yeah I can see why u whine. Omg a hole in metal. What do I do. Omg. Omg hanging a fender or replacement rocker. Omg. I guess if you can’t screw it in or bolt it your clueless. Actually I love when mechanics do all the heavy lifting work on the fixing of it. When it’s ugly and a mess cosmetically u get real bargains. Looks sell and that’s all that matters. Like a moth to a flame

Agreed. I live in Texas and I have a 2004 Acura TL 6 MT and a 2008 Honda Odyssey EXL that I have owned since brand new, and not a spec of rust anywhere on the vehicle. It is one of hte advantages outside of freedom, liberty, and the rule of law that we enjoy in Texas.

The wheels, smoked out taillights, and wing are a tell-tale sign this truck was Mexican-owned.... Do not buy a truck from the Mexicans. I am speaking from experience. Do not do it and save yourself headaches. After seeing 45+ Silverados while shopping and noticing a pattern you know.

I just got rid of the same truck last year but in a 99 first year. Black 4.8 4x4 shortbed in black. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Had to do knock sensors and a fuel pump in the 80k miles that I owned it. Pa salt started getting into the frame at 184k. Sold it still running fine but miss it everyday. 4.8 are great engines too. They take boost better than the 5.3 because of the flat top pistons. Great truck

Hey Wizard: Your Chevy Truck is really cool. Yeah it’s ruff , but it’s a short box fleetside!! My suggestion is to pull the box, change out the sending unit fuel pump assembly. Pull front clip Then power wash the frame, motor etc. I’d get a 6.2 and trans from bone yard and put in it. You could fix the cab and doors then just replace bed and front clip with later from bone yard. You might be able to get full box for just a few hundred as well as a front clip. It’s definitely worth saving.

Also the 4.8 handles boost really well and at only 190,000 miles it’s begging for some turbos. I know the wizard is just fixing it but this would be a really cool street truck to either do a dirt cheap 500 ish horsepower turbo setup or go a little further for 700+ horsepower.
