Probably repaired well over a hundred through the years due to wrecks, rust, etc.... Worst consumer oriented part on the style is the air conditioning/heating system as the airboxes hold drip water from the cowl area and rot/corrode out. Of course we can't discount the bullshit way they fastened the doors using pins and bushings that don't last, nor the cheesy headlamp and actuator switches......They really were a pretty solid performing unit. The 2000 and up Silverado have more inherent problems than that style did, although they are still a pretty good unit. If I were purchasing new today and looking for long term cost of ownership, I would go with GMC although they are close with Dodge. Too much "cheapening up" to increase profit margins on the manufacturing side for too many years. Durability past warranty is not considered.

Rob Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Where you use your mind to make sound judgment decisions such as whether or not to buy another truck or please Momma and massage her back and feet.The only sound of judgment I ever hear is the "snap and recoil" of Momma's hand upside my head. I've not bought a truck in about three years so I must be catching on. I've had three given to me however. Feet? I don't touch Momma's feet; They are disgusting. After she finishes chewing her toenails and licking the inbetweens clean while watching her soaps, I don't touch em cause they're gross, (but clean). I can't get my arms around her waist from the front to reach her middle back neither, and I surely don't get around back cause she likes to fart with control, (loudly) and it smells TERRIBLE!!!Any other examples you may think of????Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

B61TENDT711 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 That's because of GM's soft comfort ride suspension, once loaded they SAG alot ! the 02' 2500HD used to sag bad when the enclosed mowing trailer was hitched to it, it's only a measly 12,000LB's, So i had a 3leaf helper spring's added to each side on the rear and had a leveling kit done to the front now it hardly notices that 12K-LB trailer, and that 8.1L Vortec V-8 pulls it as tho it wasn't there Mike Quote 1953 Studebaker M275.
