Yeahhhhh, my paid off truck drives just fine.

lol at "leftover" at yeah can you believe how expensive the new trucks are? Imagine the sales tax and apr if a person finances. That's like the 80K truck lol

Could you imagine the msrp if they were to bring the SS Silverado back? 13 years ago the msrp of my truck was $42k... Factor how truck prices have soared since then. I bet the SS would be in the 60's if a high country is almost 58.

I have been looking art those but then I'd have to have it painted to match.

That would be cheap, plus I don't know about you but I've had to have both my SS tailgate handle and bezel professionally repainted bc I can't stand how GM just sprayed over the texture. Looks horrible imo.

If I'm gonna get involved in painting, the whole truck is gonna get strayed. The beautiful Florida sun has taken its toll on it.

Lol same thing happened to me on a tacoma earlier this year. After I went to look at it I noticed the one close up pic they had online of the tire was a brand new one. In person I saw the other three were completely bald lol. They wanted to negotiate after I walked out on them. I told em **** off.

People think they can sell Jeeps for more than blue book just because they are jeeps. Ive never understood why they are so expensive, and why they owners and dealerships always think they are worth more than they are

Here's the funny thing. In 2005, the Jeep was $25k, brand new from the dealer with zero miles and full manufactures warranty. They are trying to sell the same Jeep, 10 years old, 20k miles in good (not excellent!) condition with no warranty for $25k! Crazy!!!!

Control arm bushings? Put it up and put a pry bar between parts and see what is loose.

Alignment shop should have* caught anything that was bad.

i got about the same on mine and recently just did shocks still had the stocks on it. rides a lot better went with the bilstens. wanted to do all the bushings seems like shocks did the trick for now. want to get back in there for sways and bushings tho.

problem is when it was puking (large quantities) of that wonderful coolant/trans fluid mixture, it leaked all over everywhere under the truck so everything is wet. I de-greased the engine yesterday (twice) so we'll see if I can pinpoint it now that it's all clean. I'll probably just do the water pump anyway... 12yrs old and 101k on it.

Best luck Brother. You've been through more than enough with this problem.

Funny notice today i had a small leak myself and track it down to the front shaft seal on the water pump.

Oh man... wtf is going on?!

Who knows...

Man, you can't catch a break lately lol. Pull the end links and see if it is still there.

An older vehicle has to get pretty bad before it comes close to costing you what a new truck payment will be. Don't get me wrong I know that new is nice for a while. Everything works and all you've got to do is pay.

well, this month we're up to about $1600 so far...

Ouch. That will get your attention. Especially if your not used to spending on it regularly.

It's coolant this time.

Just cant catch a break man. Sorry to hear it.

Man; You've got a mystery on your hands. Are you sure that it was filled properly in the recent past? (Don't know if you just got the truck and hadn't filled it yourself).

I bought the truck at 60k and the first thing I did was take it to dealer and had any/all fluids drained/flushed/refilled. That was 40k miles ago.

You've got to trust sombody, right?

Probably the most logical thing to do at this point is just drive it and keep an eye on the tranny level.

Upload video to youtube or photobucket and then post a link.

100,000 on one tank full ain't bad. LOL

Just for fun, 100,000 miles with an average 11 mpg = 8,333 gallons of fuel used this far. 8,333 gallons of fuel at an average of $3.00 for premium = $25,000 in fuel.

Whoa... That's a nice used SSS now

still gonna sell the brakes first if you do? =)

Probably. I need to figure out the situation with my boat first. The Rubicon I want to replace the SS with can't tow my boat.

Hard to beat that. Congratulations.

Header panel aka headlight mount panel. They're cheap. Just Google it.

Didn't work for me the other day. U can always do the live chat or email them. They're very helpful.

You can get wheel bearings from Amazon for like 93.99 a pair. Just picked some up a few weeks back, and they are rolling smooth.

I used rock auto cheap raybestos working good

And if the SSS is paid for, get a nice daily driver.

Yeah, she is paid for. It needs the entire front end rebuilt to include new hubs, re-painted and new headlights and taillights. The Florida sun has really killed the exterior. The interior is mint though except for a few dog hairs.

I test drove a 13 awd 13' Sierra Denali and it definitely made me smile when that 6.2 was able to squeal all 4 tires.

Bring me the SS. I'll bring it back to life with a loving caring home. LOL
