The thing is, I see what is out there now, and it just isn't what these trucks are. I have a co worker with a 2017 ectra cab Silverado. It is a nice truck. Looks grate. Has the tech, but about 1 month age, he was at the store, when a shopping cart bumped his truck. Not only did it leave a scratch ( that was removed with some compound), but it put a dent in the body, and door. This was a shopping cart that just bumped the truck. The body panels asr so thin as a way to save weight, that they wont hold up to much, but there is also the fact that you can't work on anything anymore. I don't like letting someone else work on my truck, because of the fact that, a lot of people are idiots. They think they know something, but in fact know only what they have learned in repair school. This is one of the main reasons I refuse to replace my 97. Hell just dealing with the front end allignment on my 97, shows me just how stupid a lot of techs are. Zero camber, is zero camber. But the OE specs say set it to +.50 plus or minus .50. So you can be at 0 camber to + 1 camber and still be in spec. If you set it to that, it eats tires. I always tell them to set my camber to zero. A straight tire is better on my truck, but I play hell getting them to understand this. I should know what works, I have had this truck for 16 years, and before that I had a WT for 10 years. After 26 years, you kind of get to know what works, and what doesn't.
