I love this truck! That Pewter just makes for a sharp ride. Makes me want a 00-06 2500 burb.

Thanks man, me too! It did a 2 gear burnout in the shop the other night...just because.

Probably so, I'd do work truck white anyway.

I have 4 8 luggers in Summit White. So yeah.

Ordered a new AC Delco TPS sensor today. I'd had a random code pop up twice about the TPS sensor, and 2 weekends ago I was driving to KC to get some parts for a '79 C10 and the trans started shifting wierd. It would hold the gear for long periods of time until I stabbed the throttle and then it would finally upshift. No leaks, plenty of tranny fluid, etc...pulled the TPS connector and gave it a once over and problem went away. Sensor appears to be the original, so I'll change it out and hit the connectors with some dielectric grease and call it a day. Still need to do brakes and unit bearings(originals are fine, but I'm not taking them off, just to not replace them). Also been hunting another set of PY0s...the 17s are nice, and look great in the sun, but they aren't PY0s. Trying to decide if I drop the coin on some OE Wheels fresh repops, or buy a used set and strip them down and polish them up.

As far as I know, all aftermarket PY0s are cast, not forged.

I'm probably wrong, but I believe '02 was the last year for Pewter. I think they went to Silver Birch Metallic in '03.

That must be why the "pewter" on the later models looks a little different. I just figured it had more pearl in the topcoat.

Good to know! I'll keep that in mind if I run across a set.

I bought a new '07 that I swear was pewter, but I never did actually look at the code.

It looks more whitish, if that makes sense. Of course in the south you have sun fading issues particularly with clearcoat (both my trucks have this to some degree) and many people don't garage their trucks or SUVs. No garage or it's not big/tall enough.....

I know the American Racing repops are not very good quality. Which sucks to say.
