    It's In The Driveway!!

    Smoother than my F-250. But I have some extra heavy duty springs on the back on the F-250 that make it ride a bit rough. I had them put on when the factory ones started breaking leafs. :dunno The GMC is still a bit rough, but it's as empty as it gets. A little bit of a load may let the...

    It's In The Driveway!!

    First impressions so far, the Duramax is fast. My 7.3 is crazy fast. :dunno Oh well, maybe after the warranty expires. :innocent First things to get: Bed cap/topper Running boards so Mrs TG has an easier entry/exit. Undercoating/ paint sealant. ( A must for the U.P. enviroment)

    They are forthcoming. I had to high-tail it for the house from the dealership. The home appraisal lady came today to do the required appraisal for our mortgage refinance. Besides, I got it a little dirty on the test drive on the wet roads. I should have it in the driveway hopefully in...

    I would have liked to get another Ford, but I just couldn't stand the unattractive interior. The new Superduty Fords are just too loud and obnoxious. The interior on my new truck is (IMHO) smooth and soothing in appearance. Now to sell my 99 F-250 and get a bed topper for the new one.

    It's a done deal!! I just shook hands on a new truck. I was all set to get the one pictured above, but I found one at another dealer I wanted to look at. I'm getting that one. I'm buying a 2011 GMC 2500HD with the Duramax/Allison package. It's white, an extended cab and short box truck...

    I hear what you're trying to say. But every brand has a few "bad lemons", even Ford. Remember all the issues they had with the 6.0? Most buyers are very happy with their new trucks no matter what flavor the badge on the front grille is. I though about it. But it is just the wife the dog and...

    Possible PCM (Powertrain Control Module) Problem?

    You might possibly be barking up the wrong tree. It sounds to me like it might be the infamous Under Valve Cover (UVC) connectors. There is a wiring harness that goes under the valve covers on each side. Those wires go to the injectors and glow plugs. Under the valve covers, there is another...

    Me too. But saving over $7,000 off of retail is too attractive of a deal to pass up. For that kind of money, I can get used to a bow-tie.

    I've been looking around at the various dealer lots. There isn't a whole bunch to look at. But I did fine this: It isn't the extended cab I was looking for. But other than that, it has everything I want without a lot of extra stuff I don't want to pay for. The biggest attraction is I...

    Running RV deep cycle battery in f-350.

    FWIW, a couple of years ago I had to go battery shopping. I checked every place in town that I could think of, Car Quest, NAPA, dealers, Walmart and Advance. Advance had the best bang for the buck. Longest warranty, 2nd lowset price & free installation.

    Somebody shoot me!!

    Good news is I survived the class and passed it. Bad news is I'm probably gonna have to do it all over again for the Embraers But this time I'll probably have to take a road trip instead of doing it from home. My guess is either Dallas or NW Arkansas.

    Bad rumor. American just ordered something like 700 gigazilion dollars of new Boeing and Airbus airplanes.

    Somebody shoot me!!

    For the last 4 days, I've in a class at work learning about the Bombardier CRJ-700 we'll begin working on next month. This class has been the most boring arsed thing I have endured in I don't know how long!!! 4 days of staring at a projection screen and a poster is destroying my will to...

    This is SOOO FREAKY!!!

    LOL!!! FWIW, I haven't seen Mrs TG's brother-in-law, just other family members have seen him. So :tounge:tounge Mrs TG is telling me I have to record the next Packer home game so we can watch for her late B.I.L. I'll say this about him, I guess he doesn't have any problems getting...

    This is SOOO FREAKY!!!

    Nothing Lately that is!! :lmao While I have never knowingly seen a spirit or ghost, Mrs TG has on several occasions. She has seen them from time to time over the years of working in hospitals and veterans homes.

    This is SOOO FREAKY!!!

    Mrs TG's brother-in-law was the worlds biggest :packers fan. He went all the way to Dallas for the Super Bowl, with no tickets, just so he could watch the game on TV in the parking lot. About 6 months ago, he he passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. His remains were cremated. A couple of...

    That's the Denali trim level for the GMC HD trucks. Like I said, I'm not crazy about all the silver & woodgrain. But IMHO, it's much better looking than the loud, square, boxy looking

    Agreed, but I'm not crazy about the silver and woodgrain. But that is the higher trim level package in the photo. The Work Truck trim level I'm focusing on is not as "loud", being more plain. Which is what I prefer. Funny, take away the silver and wood grain, and in certain aspects, it...

    I have been on this forum almost since day 1 in April 2005. I respect the experience and maturity of many fellow forum members as well as thoughtful advice they offer. That is why I have sought their input in making my buying decision. Just because I might be driving a GM truck in the...

    After taking into consideration some of your helpful comments, I've pretty much eliminated the dually. After thinking about it, I decided to go wtih a SRW truck for these reasons: -Whatever we get for a bigger/newer camper in the future, it won't be so monsterous that it will require a 1 ton...

    I've noted that a few folks have said "get the GMC". From my understanding, they are the same truck, rolling off the same assembly line? The only difference being some trucks get Chevy nameplates, some get GMC badges. In the past, we had a GMC Safari minivan and later had a Chevy Astro...
