Shaun_300 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Since I have a new job that's here in town, and I don't have to drive 40 miles a day back and forth to work, I have been thinking about getting a truck. I was browsing the auto trader tonight and I came across this one. It REALLY caught my eye, man I sure would love to get this one! 2004 Chevy Silverado Regular Cab Short Box Z71 Package 5.3L V8 Dual Exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun that truck sure looks great. Hopefully I will get to see it in a couple weeks. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronS Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Re: Thinking about a new truck Seeing as how Shaun is a Chevy mechanic, I doubt we'll see him drive anything else. Nice truck Shaun. Good luck with your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Re: Thinking about a new truck Great truck! Bowtie or not. Seriously, good luck. I bet it would treat you well. Im very partial to Ford. Ive worked my trucks hard and they have never let me down. If I were to switch brands id be looking at a Nissan Titan or a Chevy (Z71). The one thing that I can about Chevy is they make/ made the best engine of all time, the 350. Its number one on my list followed by the Ford 302. Now they werent a powerhouse like the 350, 351, 454, 460, etc but the 302 is also a great little motor. Easy to work on, decent power, easy to hop up etc. A few years ago I had a wreck (rear ended). The insurance Company put me in a crew cab Dodge Dakota 4x4 with a V8. Im not a big dodge guy at all but I drove that truck for several months and loved it. I think their bigger trucks seem to stream line manufactured but this little dude was loaded and what a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I just talked to a friend of mine who has an '04 Dodge 3/4 ton and in the last 6 months he has put in new injectors and had to replace the electrical components! This was to the tune of over $6,000.00 because it was out of warranty and he has about 65,000 miles on it! NO, I wouldn't look at a DODGE! I will stick to the Chevy! My '03 is running great and I have not spent one penny other than oil and gas!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Re: Thinking about a new truck I've never owned a Chevy, but I've owned a few Ford's. The engines were great on the Ford's but the suspension were weak, didn't last long and I was forever dumping money into them. Seeing how you're a Chevy mechanic, as long as the you like the looks, and its in good repair...I think you got a winner, sharp lookin' truck.

wtnhunt Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Re: Thinking about a new truck Nice looking truck there Shaun. Being kinda tall I prefer an extended cab myself. All our chevy trucks have had 350's, and they have lasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointing_dogs_rule Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Re: Thinking about a new truck I'm a Ford man and they have treated me good. The only thing I would not like about that truck is the SHORTBOX. When I haul things I need lots of room and still, sometimes I have stuff hanging out the tailgate. I would consider looking at a full size box Can you fit a 4-wheeler into a shortbox?? Last, does it have 4-wheeel drive?? That is a must for me. I wouldn't buy a truck without 4-wheel drive. Good luck and nice lookin' truck the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Re: Thinking about a new truck Just got an email from the dealership with a couple more pics. I like it more every time I look at it. It also has 285 tires on it... pointing dogs rule - Yes, it is 4x4. Yeah you can fit a 4-wheeler in the back, I don't have one anyway.
