P.S. Anybody remember reading in this thread about somebody getting a mpg boost from installing a K&N air filter? What do other readers think?
like atlanta, I always wear my seatbelt, but the chime would even go off when I had the truck in park and was outside of the truck...
I already deprogrammed the automatic door locks.
Oil change , my dealer said the first oil change is free, thats all. I havent been there since I bought it 1500 miles ago.
I hope this saves others some $$$
Seems most are pleased with this product!
mat to go under the liner for $30.00.
Now on to other things like: bedliner, cargo cage, hardtop, etc. Am I correct in assuming that the dealership will sell and install the cargo cage, and cab steps, and is it a better idea to go elsewhere for that stuff? Any info on these accessories would be appreciated. I will report my mileage next week after a couple of trips up and down California.
Can't wait to drive it again in the morning! Man, I LOVE this truck!!
Does anyone know if a full center console (front seat)is available on any Supercrew or just the King Ranch model?
Thanks,
Stevo
As far as the Silverado HD -vs- S'crew article: I wouldn't trade my S'crew for a Chevy even if they gave me one (well - maybe if they gave it to me - but I'd still buy another S'crew to drive!!)
My mileage has never been worth bragging about but I'm resigned to the fact that I have a heavy right foot. You pretty much have to be pushing the sound barrier anyway just to keep up with interstate traffic around Atlanta. The truck continues to surpass my expectations in all other areas so I can live with the mileage.
I didn't realize the length until I brought it home and parked it next to my Isuzu trooper. I'm currently learning to judge the distance behind me while backing up. If anyone reading this is shopping trucks or suvs I would highly recommend it and getting the 5.4 is the way to go. Extra power is worth it. Once again, thank you everyone for your input it really helped.
3:41 is deff not the gear ratio
First, thnaks for keeping board filled with good and relevant info. Have been beating myself over the head for ~2 months over the Avalanche vs KR Supercrew vs New Ram argument. Before you respond, I brought home a '02 King Ranch SC this weekend.
Details: 2002 Chestnut King Ranch Supercrew with 3.55 limited slip rear, 5.4L Triton, Class III Trailer Hitch, 60/40 Rear Bench Seat, and Moonroof.
To potential KR buyers:
The biggest decision to make is the rear seat of a KR. Starting '02 you have an option. The rear seat can have either captains chairs w/ center console or a 60/40 rear bench. There is $0 difference for either option. It's just a matter of choice, but the 60/40 is harder to find. Note: The 60/40 bench is much more padded than even Lariat rear bench. It is quite comfortable and more useful in my humble opinion.
The 5.4L Triton is a no-brainer. You would be hard pressed to find a KR without.
Limited slip and trailer package are very well engineered and a must for even moderate towing. Limited slip is also invaluable in inclement weather w/ or w/out loads.
While the moon roof is cool, there are some tradeoffs. You lose most of the little storage bins on the roof line. They are not replaced elsewhere. The moonroof also has a problem closing. The close position is the exact middle between being wide open and ventilated open (back up 2-3" inches) Make a note to try it in the dealership. You may not want it. I didn't really, but it was the closest match I could find without ordering one and losing the 0% finance incentive.
Also for '02 buyers, auto A/C has been included, very handy. The 6-disc changer is located in the center console. I wish they would allow you to put at least 1 CD in the dash. You need to pull over to change a CD. You would have to be pretty quick to even do it at a red light.
All in all, I will try and post something occassionally to help everyoine in return for helping me. I can tell you that I have all the confidence in the world I chose the right truck for me. I am generally elated. Will post some early fuel consumption in the future and answer any '02 KR questions that anyone might have.

It looks like Ford will be giving you a choice to make it right.
Personally, I want the bigger radiator installed but am concerned because the truck runs perfectly now - if they go mucking around in the engine compartment only bad can come of it!
I'd really rather have the peace of mind of having the bigger radiator for towing rather than a check for $100. Don't plan on trading the truck for a couple years so the loyalty certificate wont help me.
What do the rest of you plan to do?
The woman who answered seemed very willing to help but said that they haven't even identified owners affected by the recall yet and a mass wave of mailings is planned for the next week or two.
Will keep updates posted.
My SuperCrew has been great!
Even so, I would like panel to be flush with body.
Has anyone noticed the same thing?
If not then will take it back to dealer
