The locator page still not working but wanted to take this opportunity to check in as a newbie on the forum. I am a long time GM guy but recently bought my first Silverado. It is a 2010 Victory Red 1500. I do love my little truck.

I forgot to add some additional info concerning myself. I am fully retired from the USAF and the State of Alabama. I currently live in Montgomery, Alabama. I have two other GM vehicles, a Corvette and an H3 Hummer, both are show vehicles...lots of chrome!

My Silverado pictured in the preceding post was supposed to be my "rain truck," but I have already added a lot of accessories to it. Here is a picture of what it looked like when I bought it.

Ok, new guy here from West Friendship, MD. Reporting in as ordered.

I have a 1994 Chevy K1500 step-side sport truck. It was the first item my wife and I bought together brand new in April of 1994.

I am hoping that this forum will be as helpful to me with my truck as the corvette forums have been.

Hi, my name is Mike and im new here. I posted a question then i saw the newbie check in forum, sorry about that. I own an 05 Silverado Z71 and my son owns an 1980 Silverado that i gave him when he turned 16 that we've completely restored. I've always owned Chevy trucks! Looks like a great forum with lots of good info and i look forward to reading through it.

exfarmer 07-13-2010 03:06 PM

Hi, I'm Marc, I've got a /97 GMC Z71 with ~150k mi. (247k km). It is the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I'm considering purchasing a 2010 but will keep the 97. I also have a 1950 GMC 1ton thats been in the family since new. It needs some TLC but will still do a days work.

Hey folks,

I've been a GM owner for about 11 years now, and have had a variety of various GM vehicles. My newest purchase is the one that got me to register here. She's a 1994 GMC Sierra K1500 SLE. She was sadly de-engined and vandalized prior to my purchasing her, and hope to find some folks here that can help me put her back together.

This truck has a 14 bolt rear end with 6 lug wheels. I'm told that the 14 bolt wasn't standard this year, but it doesn't seem like anything had been changed beneath the truck. I look forward to talk with most of you, and hope some of you are 1994 GM Masters. A lot of work will need to be done to this truck to get her back on the road.

New to these forums but not Chevy
 
When I was 16 I got a hand me down 85 Silverado 10 from my dad. He bought it brand new in 84 and I got it in 2000. That truck was built like a tank and I loved it. It stopped ticking 50 miles away from hitting 200,000 miles. I then bought a 2002 4x4 S-10 Blazer and it had problems with the 4wd kicking in and out when driving without hitting the electronic shifter had the transfer case serviced for $3,000.00 and a few thousand miles later it started happening again. I was stationed at Eielson AFB in Alaska down the road from Fairbanks, Alaska so I needed the extra traction so I then traded it on a 2005 Subaru Impreza RS had that for 3 years and then traded it in for a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi when I got to Hill AFB in Utah. I had it almost for two years and loved every minute of it, did a lot of mods to it and had tons of fun in that car. But every good thing must come to an end, I got married and then a year later we have a kid on the way. I wanted to keep it but the car seat wouldn't fit and we also needed a truck because I was tired of borrowing trucks from friends and family so I traded in the STi for a 2008 Silverado 1500 4.8l LS with 40,000 miles. I love this truck and it gets decent gas mileage for a gas truck.

This truck has a Tuff Country lift kit don't know how high but it has 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler tires, factory installed locking rear diff., and tow package. Next on the mod list is a Gibson Super Truck exhaust, Gibson headers, volant powercore cai, and diablo sport programmer.

Ha....mileage on our trucks isn't usually very good... Get a tuner,drop in k&n air filter and keep you foot out of it

gclayjr 11-19-2010 09:15 AM

I have a 2000 chevy custom 3500 4X4 dually

I like the truck. Nothing fancy, but with the 7.4 vortech, and the HD suspension (with towing package) it can do as much or more than many fancier trucks

I didn't know how many duallys there are out there untill I got my own

Getting a nice 2004 Silverado, base, long bed, Victory Red, 143K miles. The prior owner kept good care of it. But I've been doing lots of reading for some maintenance (tranny, front/rear diffs, fuel filter, inspect belt, plugs/wires, etc.) Thanks for all the good info so far.
