Sorry red, big friggin tarp over the whole truck and then some, a few rocks at the corners and a little propane heater (type that goes right on the bbq type tank and at least youll be warm... ideas.... been there before
Hmmm that's an idea. But anyway I bought some time, or should I say a cheap Tahoe. It's a black 05 Z71 with 250k. I was looking for something with a little less mileage but this one looked like it was well taken care of which IMO is more important that the actual mileage. It's had the steering rebuilt, has some decent 22's although they have Monster logos on them, a new DD Kenwood with backup cam and a 10" Kicker sub and amp. The carpet is terrible but that's to be expected. It does have a couple problems which include no TPMS sensors installed (why he didn't put them on when he did the wheels is beyond me) and a problem with the Passenger Presence System for the airbags. But compared to what I was looking at for the price ($3500)it was the best I could find, plus I was out of time to look for one. I'm starting at a new jobsite tomorrow and didn't want to drive the Silvy there plus it is not a good truck to drive in the Winter. I kept hitting small holes in the roads around here and was worried about a blowout or bent wheel. I was going to look last weekend but unfortunately I had to put my buddy Kujo, my 12 year old Alaskan Husky, to sleep last Saturday. His cancer had spread again into unoperable nodules on his shoulder which were attacking his muscles and nerves, resulting in more and more pain to the point the narcotics I was giving him were beginning to fail us so I had to make the heart breaking decision to say goodbye. So the year ended rough for me but I will be OK. Thanks to all you guys for being here and supporting me.IMG_9129.JPG IMG_9130.JPG

Sounds like a good score on the Z71. Hope it keeps you running solid through the winter until the Beast can get serviced.

Very sorry to hear about your dog. A tough blow, but know he is feeling no pain now. I feel for you man.

Be safe out there.

I can't remember could you get a 6.0 in these from the factory?
