School me on Chevy 1500’s

Buy one of these when you get your new truck

You plug it into your OBD2 scanner port and leave it in.
While its pugged in , it keeps your engine in V8 mode and it wont let the computer put the engine in V4 mode
A lot of people are repairing engines with AFM at 150K miles due to the lifters wearing out because of how the system shuts down 4 cylinders

Thanks fellers.
The blue is close to my Ram CTD that I never should have sold...that was the best vehicle I ever owned.

It was my tow vehicle and my off-road toy. This one will be an off-road toy to take me hunting...that seems to be the most off-roading we’ve got in Texas

I really like that color. Shame it's on a Chevy but I'm glad you're happy. Enjoy the new truck.

Nice-looking truck. I've glad I went for the full crew-cab--even though it means my truck's bed is only 5'7". For me, the greater cabin space is more important.

Ahhh...but the lack of a 6-foot bed would limit my Section 179 Deduction

Ahh, there you go. But I was only aware of the need for GVW to be more than 6,000 lb and less than 14,000 lb. Wasn't aware of the bed-length requirement. :cheers:

6k GVWR is still accurate, but limited to $25k.

Other vehicles, like ambulances, passenger vans and trucks with a 6-foot bed, can take the full deduction without the $25k cap

Sales manager called me today, to follow-up on the lazy salesgal’s emails.

After an easy 10 minute conversation, I’ve got a new (to me) truck

Gets on a transporter early next week, I should have it by the end of the week.

Sharp looking truck.

Is that a 2wd Z71?

I will never understand why Chevy did that instead of coming up with a different package name for that combination.

Thanks!

It’s a 4x4.

She’ll look a lot better when I put 33” tires on and level it out. It’ll come up maybe an inch in back, around 2.5 in front.

Nice truck. Buddy of mine in Wichita Falls makes bolt-on turbo kits for 'em if you get the itch to go fast.

 

[robertc1024]

Uh oh. Talking to Brains about Chevy's is like talking to tacticool guys about AR's.

HEY!!!!.

Nevermind, you're right.
