By the way sancho1, there is a dealer in Floydada Texas who will order at $50 over invoice. Only thing is, anything ordered now won't be in until at lease April...
friend of mine took delivery on a C/K 2500 short bed crew cab. they're out there
sancho1
there's a HUGE dealership in the little town of Hempstead that always has some silverados. thats about an hour west on 290 out of Houston.
Just do some shopping know the invoice of the truck you want and be willing to walk if the story changes. I ordered my truck in Morgan City, LA. for $445 over invoice.
I'm talking about a new style Sierra...My brother in-law just bought a 1999 old style 4X4 short bed crew cab. It's pretty nice but I'm interested in the new style... thanks
don't think the new style crew cabs will be out for a while yet. not until they redesign the heavy duty line which could be as long as 2 more model years.
I live in Beaumont and went to Morris Moore in Silsbee. Made a deal for 1999 Silverado LS short bed truck reg. cab. The price was $300 over invoice. If you go to Silsbee, talk to a saleman maned Girvus.
i don't know what chevy's tire options are, but i do know a P285 won't fit on a 6.5" rim. that size rim can only take about a P245 size tire
James007: yes flares are standard on 4x4 2500's
Anyone drive the 4.8 L motor with the 5 speed yet?
I heard last week that Chevy is building and shipping trucks w/o the G80 option (locking diff.) even if it was special ordered by the customer. They may figure that you'll take the truck anyway since you've waited so long for it and if you decline delivery, the dealer will have no trouble selling it on the lot.
Let me know how yours turns out.
anybody hear about the vortec 6000 ? OO7 what gears and engine did u get in your 2500 ?
I heard their using better parts in the new 1s so lets see if they work!
how bou't those fog lights are they any good?are the speakers any differn't in the 99s
I ordered the 6.0 with 3.73 gears. I think this will be low enough for the way I pull. If I planed on pulling a lot I might consider the 4.10. My dealer showed me where GM cancelled the locking differential option on some 2500's he has already ordered. These aren't custom orders so I don't know if that makes any difference.
are you cosidering new wheels and tires ?those 245s are to smal howbout 285 70s on 16 by 8s yokohoma makes 285 70s AVS wonder if they will fit
I ordered Lt. Pewter with Charcoal Gray on bottom. Hope the fender flairs are painted charcoal gray...It's extended cab SB 4X4. Not many options except auto trans. case, skid plates, dark glass, and heavy duty trailering package. I ordered the polished aluminum wheels(PY0). I think standard tires will work for me. Let us know when yours comes in...007
Have driven two of the new trucks with tow/haul. 4.8l with 3.42 and the 5.3l with 4.11. They will eventually shift into overdrive. Seem downshift happy but reluctant to upshift. Exactly how one would drive a manual when towing. Plus, if you don't like it, turn it off.
Am ordering a 1500 4x4 4.8 manual with 4.11 gears today. All of chevy's new v-8 really want to spin to make horsepower. I would only buy the 3.73's or lower if I rarely towed and drove mostly highway.
How do the front hubs on the new silverado engage when shifting on the fly into 4wd? My sales guy said you can go into 4H at any speed. I am referring to the standard transfer case, not the autotrac.
MARKBUCK where do u get the cabela cattolog those seat covers sound neat.
I ordered it back in aug 2500 serria with locking diffs 'checked last week and dealer didn't hear anything about it Would be nice but don't really care that much that auto trac 4 wheel drive system should make up for it
PS what did you order ?color sl sle slt engine?
of the old c/ks their
making the new 1s this week
don't beleave those dealers
what would sound the coolest GIBSON FLOWMASTER BORLA ECT,ECT
ANY THOUGHTS ? 1999 VORTECs KING OF THE ROCK!
After being made to wait so long, a special order truck needs to be built to specs unless they notify you in well advance so you can make an informed decision IMHO.
DO the stock 1s sound any better then last years C/Ks
thats what I alaways heard anyway!
1 % ers GET THE BEST DID YOU SEE THE NEW COMERICALS ON TV GMC LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN THE silverados BUILT BETTER TOO 1 PERCENTERS GET THE GOODS BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR SUCKERS
1.- The ordering system is being revamped to do away with the 'preferenced' protocol, but it comes at a time where previously entered orders may have no meaning as they will have to be re-entered when Chevy allocates production numbers to California. I had no luck on November 10th, but the 17th may see some allocations.
2.- If you're ordering a 2WD 1500 with a trailering package the razzle-dazzle ZX3 Ride Control Suspension will delay your delivery, as I'm told, to February.
3.- I'm thinking, 'heck, even if I compromise what I want and settle for the Z85 Firm Ride (required with the tow package) I probably won't see a truck on my driveway until February: May as well order what I want.' Now for a different subject:
How about the difference between a 'Rhino-lining' and a 'Line-X' shoot-in bed. And what kind of hard lid, painted to match woud you buy. Any toughts out there?
