Cause I just hit 50K!

Started with this:



Now I got this:



I sure hope she'll last another 50K. At the rate I'm going, I'm sure it won't take long. 14K in 7 months.....

 

damn jimmeh.. time to get back into a real truck

 

I'm sure you will get a long life out of that truck.

I went to look at a new Silverado Z71 4wd. I didn't buy it because the payment was a tad too high. So today on the way to work the slave gave out on the Ranger again for the 5th time. Should have traded the POS in already. Maybe this weekend.

 

Pretty soon. I'm hoping, lol.

 

Hey now...he can get back into a real truck any time he wants....he can even make 4.0 noises too and shift the gears!!

 

explain why your trading it in at 50?

 

im not a fan of the chebys but i will say one thing, they are long winded sum *****es! my buddy has had 2 of them in the last 10 years, both with over 200k on the original motor. both his went through trannys like crazy though. i think hes on his 2nd rebuild on his 2002 im sure it will last you much longer than 100k

 

I'm not, lol. Just a joke

And I hope it lasts me a little longer than 100K, but we'll see if I can hold on to it for that long. I've noticed I have a wandering eye about vehicles, lol.

 

I hope my trans lasts a while.. I was skeptical getting an auto.

 

yea me too, I'm gonna keep the Chevy clean and what ever happens, happens.. I saw a Raptor on the road today.. soooooo sexy in person. But my wallet can't afford one right now, and I don't want the POS 5.4

 

Me too. I'm going to have the transmission and diffs serviced next week. Says to do it every 50K.

 

I drained my rear diff a week after i got it and put Royal Purple in it. I'll drain the front diff at 100k and flush the trans.. Even not paying for labor cause I'm doin the work, that Tranny flush is going to cost a fortune cause our flush machine takes 16 quarts haha

 

As for the real truck comments, you can keep your Ranger ha.. As soon as i got the Chevy I realized I never want to go back.

 

Same here, man. I love this truck. The only regret I have is not getting a 3/4 ton Duramax with this body style.

 

i was meanin Ford haha

 

trade it in and get a used 250 Diesel!!!

 

So whats the deal with your Ranger then? Are you done with it then or what?

 

meh, GM Lovessss they're Duramax, I cant justify spending that much money on the dmax when i can get a PSD or CTD for much cheaper.

the 5.4 can suck a nut, i never want a truck with one in it. I got the Chevy to avoid the 5.4

idk, its sitting in the drive way immobile now.. no clue to what I'm going to do with it.

 

Same reason I'm looking at a Chevy. I like being able to change my own plugs and not having to worry if they will break on the way out causing me to have to buy a special Snap-On tool. Also the new F150s look like crap.

 

You can't deny that the 7.3 wasn't **** though..

 

its not just that, they have other problems too.

IS The ****. I wanted one, still do.. but I couldn't find one with low enough miles, in good shape and cheap enough for me to afford. I have too many other bills

 

Like what?

 

bought a 150 in 07 brand new... 4x4 5.4 tow package not a single problem... runs amazing! had a 00 GMC with the 5.3 ran like crap, id pick the 5.4 over the 5.3 any day!

 

Yeah they fixed the spark plug issue in 07. Its not really a huge deal anyway you just gotta follow the TSB while removing them.

 

Yeah they say they fix a lot of things. I still would like to not worry or do anything special to do simple maintenance. I'm not a fan of the new style 150 anyway. I think they ruined it. They should have kept the previous style.
