Bildo Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Just wanted to say hey dig the site have been lurking for a little bit. I just made an offer on a black 2003 SS AWD with 40k on it. I am definately going to buy just working out the price (long drawn out process I am in Iraq the truck is in Omaha, NE). Anyone from the Omaha area? Well anyways thats where I am from and my wife and kids live there while I work overseas. I was looking around for a new truck lately and I had absolutely NO clue that they were making the SS since the old 454 versions in the 90s. Now I am in love with the whole concept. Other toys in my garage include ; 71 Lemans (GTO Clone fully restored) , 2001 Blazer LT, and a 2006 Honda CBR 600rr can't wait for my new addition.

Bildo Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Unfortunately my wife and brother went to look at the truck yesterday, and its a bad deal all around. The paint is scratched beyond a buff out in several places and that really stands out on the black. The rear diff is leaking (not seeping but dripping) from the pumpkin seal (easy fix but still a PIA) the rear main seal was leaking substantially more than the typical GM seepage. The originally brakes on the truck at 40k are shot almost non existant. The front end needs work, my brother said he had an extremely hard time keeping it pulling right off the road. Obviously somebody rode this girl hard, and is now trying to dump her off. IMO a truck that beat to schmidt isn't worth the 20k the owner wouldn't come down on. So now I am back in the hunt but probably won't jump in until I am back in the states physically in April for a vacation. Happy Hollidays!!!!
