On a more serious subject. I asked on the Transsport page, but people there only argue about interior colors. How do I know if the shocks and/or struts have outlived their life (for any vehicle)? At what kind of mileage do they normally need to be replaced?
As we get older, we lose our sense of hearing, therefore, the music needs to be played louder...also helps in tuning out the spouse...
www.carsound.com and click on forums, then look up either Richard Clarke or David Navone. they will correspond with ya via email if you like, and believe me when i tell ya these guys are probably gonna give you more than you need in setting up your trucks sound system.
also check out www.sounddomain.com and go to forums, there you will find a wealth of info that i highly doubt you'll find here, not because nobody here is an expert, but because on those forums you will find people that have done it all and seen it all.

Thanks for any info,

Second thought, you might be able to take it off by removing the four bolts under the padding. Not sure cause when I dynamat'd the truck, I took the seats out first then the console.
you shouldnt have told these guys that
They rip on me all the time cause i had them installed on my truck even before i purchased it.
Is it easy? Anything i should know? Anyone who has a helms manual does it have any info in there? If so could you scan it for me?
Oh yea which fluids and how much do i need and what kinda price am i looking at?

Or are you ignoring me?
haha
Anyway, the cab bolts...I see they go up, but where's the nut/threads they tie in to? Curiosity...I don't intend to find out myself!
bco
seriously, when i inserted the new ones, they caught very easily. i suspect they're attached to the frame on the top side...
bco
DOHHH
finger tightened one side.....drove away late night....got to bar parking lot....and realized we didn't tighten them back up...got the tools out in the lot and did it right there.
even before starting job....they were all various lbs of torque...from very tight to almost hand loose...
I don't believe they are the only bolts to hold the cab on though...

Once I get my truck, I'm going to go see what the Chevy owners hangout is like. ;-)
damn its been one yr today since my truck arrived on the dealers lot.
wow that yr went fast
hmmm time to trade it in? NAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
The sixteenth is my one year anniversary and Yes the year did go fast!
Trade in? Hell Ya. You need a 2500! ;-}
Anyone have a link to any pictures or info?
Silv
8600 GVW like a 2500 ...but in a crew cab...so being a CC...it has a lot more weight..but the same GVW as say an ex.cab....aka will haul less in bed...
Ok..simple....it's a way to sell crew cabs to people that have to have a 1500!
...I think it has 1500 wheels instead of 2500 wheels...and may not be as beefy as a 8600 GVW 2500 or a 9200 GVW 2500HD
Good luck!

Put 6 adults in a SCrew by Ford and you only have a few hundred pounds capacity in the bed.
Which would you rather have?
Actually its not a bad idea, especially if you use your truck unlike a lot of Supercrew owners.

Marketing!
...many people HAVE to have a truck that says 1500 on the side.....period.
...or Z71
- Tim
Unfortunately, my job brings me to the city and I have enough problems parking a 1500 in some of these spots much less a 2500 or 3500. Plus the gass mileage is horrible for these trucks.
I know some people need the towing capability or need the club cab but I see many 4x4 SD's and HD's that don't have anything in the back, not towing anything and are as shiny as the day they came off the lot. I guess its like the people that have to have the Z28 or GT Mustang. Its an ego thing.
Silv
BTW, I live in N. Texas so where there's no ice and no hills but every other truck on the road in Dallas is a 4x4.

stayed purple for the first 3500 miles then turned a darker purple? I wouldn't push it past 5000 miles though, cause even though it is advertised as synthetic, it is more dino with synthetic additives giving the best of both worlds.

using the 10w-30 Super GPO, was impressed by this product especially since it meets Detroit Diesel CD-II. Meets and exceeds manufacturer's specifications, including MACK EO-L and Caterpillar TO-2/12TBN, Allison C-3 and C-4. Meets military specifications MIL-L-2104E and MIL-L-46152E. Available in SAE grades 10W, 30, 40, 10W-30 and 15W-40.
...ain't that the goop you lube up the cam/push rods / lifters..etc when you are putting an engine together??
must be..cuz I know I have used that brand someplace!!
.....I agree most don't need what they buy...but I still feel every truck should be a 4WD....period....as for not needing a 2500 or 3500...yeah...I understand...but the 1500HD is almost a 2500...so why not get all the better features of the 2500HD?....it's not any longer to park than a 1500HD?
oh well..we've been down this road before....I guess they make both for both kinds of people....
Enjoy

I haven't been here in a while; thought I'd throw out a smarta** remark, just like old times.

j/k mich!
say, what are the advantages of a spray-in liner vs. drop-in, if any? LOL!
bco
My liner has been worked trust me.
Look at it this way. Drop a 12" block from 10'. Which bed would sustain damage? I rest my case.
maybe you better go buy your new one soon
