Ok, updates with no pics. Since I did not get the new Z71, I decided to continue and set up my 2005 Z71 to a base line to know where I am at on all things I can control. Sorry, no pics at this time.
I have changed ALL fluids on this rig and did the trans filter, replaced all brake pads, hardware, rotors-pads at front were thin, replaced all park brake shoes and hardware and adjusted the cable set up, replaced all four rear control arms because the right lower was bent by someone that floor jacked it, new plugs, plug wires, air filter, MAF, MAP, crank sensor and cam sensor-saved the old sensors for spares, replaced every cooling system hose and reservoir and reservoir cap and thermostat, serpentine belts and idlers and tensioners, both outside mirrors because driver's mirror vibrated at highway speed and both adjusted slowly and were jumpy, all transmission cooling lines, replaced the passenger side front seat control panel side cover-old one was cracked, rear wiper arm and all blades and did the windshield glass treatment as
@Rocket Man had suggested, new Husky floor mats, all 4 shocks, all four oxygen sensors and third brake light assembly.
Next up is the oil pan gasket, rear main seal, oil pickup tube and the o-ring seal as well. Then I am going to have the front bumper corner scrapes fixed and repainted and paint the new outside mirror caps to match. Then to top it all off, a new set of tires. The current tires are at about 30% left.
I have a reman unlocked OE style radio/cd unit for the dash that is to be installed. So far the only things replaced because of leaks were the trans lines and the upcoming oil pan/rear main seal parts. Bent rear arm because was bent. Oxygen sensors because Bank 1 Sensor 1 went bad and caused a rough idle.
To tell you the truth, I never should have looked at the new Z71 but man, that damn thing looks good.
