I'm Awesome
Hi folks,
Well, as said, I'm a new guy here. I have been and am a member on a few other sites related to my truck, too, but I don't really seem to fit most. I'm don't really fit into the onroad/offroad/lifted/power mods/etc categories. Don't get me wrong, I AM a big fan of power, speed and challenges in general. It's just that I have and have had other "tools" for some of that stuff. No, I like my truck as is and want to return it to and keep it in stock as close to new condition and performance as possible. At the moment it is my daily driver after getting creamed on my motorcycle back in July - can't use my clutch leg yet.
So, I do love my truck. I'm the second owner and been such since 2009. It is a 1997 Silverado K2500 extended cab long box with a 454, 4L80E, tow package 8600 GVW 8-lug with 278,000 kms (173,000 miles). Two years ago I put a new right lower ball joint and steering box in her. A bit later she got a new 140 amp alternator and battery. This year (in the past couple of months) she got new tires (up one size to 265/75x16) and shocks (Gabriel) all around and a pitman arm. Everything getting replaced has been original except the battery. She even has the original exhaust and muffler.
Yup, she's a keeper.
Cheers,
Glenn

Yeah, my other car (usual daily driver) is a 2003 Maxima SE 6-speed manual.
