My NBS white paint flaked in huge chunks. I've seen 900's and Kxx doing it too.

Yes, at the T/Y Forum, we see that there as well.

My uncles GMT-610 van is white and flaking, too.

Yes and no on your first statement. Start with a nicer older vehicle. Less expensive than a new one, cheaper insurance, and cheaper to license(depends on state somewhat I suppose, definitely holds true in KS). I've had just as many issues with the late model stuff I've owned as the aged inventory I drive.

10 bolts axles will be broken when abused, same with the 4L60e...I will concede the 4L60e is definitely the weaker link out of the two. All I've ever heard is second hand info on 10 bolt destruction...and I have used them on the farm for tasks they were not meant to do, and none of mine let me down.

The simple answer is to know what you have and drive it accordingly. No point driving a 1500 like it's a 3500.

Paint peeling is something I have seen for many years in the shops I ran and in my trucks I have owned. It ****** me off that quality control could not have put out a quality paint job that EVERYONE sees. It is something my fellow members at the Tahoe/Yukon Forum talk about too. Cracked dashes, too. BUT, I love the rest of the truck and on B.A.T. site, they still bring big bucks at the auctions.

The GMT400 market has been going up. Glad I got mine when I did,don't think I could afford one in the condition of mine now.

Not searching. My girl's 1990 K2500 is a keeper truck. There was a car lot buyer recently, that saw the truck at the Safeway store and came up with a business card and offered $5k for the 129k miles truck and I handed him back his card and said "No thanks".
