I find that a little hard to believe. But it sure looks like a winner when it does show up. I hope they can get that rear cab opening deal working properly on the first try (wind noise, etc.)
Remember I have seen Zaino on Red...and like My Malms better on Black....black will always look better I'd imagine.
I'm just saying that 17 years (for me at least)before there was the Zaino Buzz on the net....there was malms.
They are both high quality wax.
Everybody has their own preference. I have spoken with Mr.Kolinsky (owner) numerous times and he has helped me out with several problems alond the years....Like when the neighbor painted his garage in the wind on a day when I left the Hurst out side!....I can still feel that one in my back bone....GRRRR
So don't rely on me.....decide for yourself.

Still no word from salesman
So why not tackle the nerf bars too?
Chill on the truck....I waited 5 months and 2 model years.

Stored in a pole barn? I hope you have a cover for it the birds are looking for nesting sites now & LOVE pole barns LOL

Now Tim. Why is me installing my nerf bars so important to you? Tell you what ill have em installed this time and in 5 yrs when i change them ill do it myself ok??? Deal?

On the Zaino - with the weather in TX this weekend I only got the truck clayed, I'll get the other stuff applied this weekend. One note about Zaino - it isn't wax. There is no carnuba (sp?) wax in the product at all. Not sure what it is - their web site gives the details, but there is no wax in it, unlike Malms - they claim 100% pure carnuba.
Zaino says bad things about carnuba over the long term. Truth be known it really isn't as bad as they make it or most every other product on the market, and there are millions of them, wouldn't use it. There are several products that can give that ultimate shine - some are easier to use than others. It is a preference thing and you have to decide how much time, effort and money you are going to spend using it.
Zaino has won me over for now - I'm just starting with it though - ask again in 6 months and I may have a different answer.

Thanks,

Ryan ........ must be that MOM syndrome in me, CHILL OUT! Your to tense. Geezzzz, I was just messin with ya!
Ray T
Chill Ryan....you make yourself wayyyyyy to easy of a target. If you don't have the skill to install Nerf bars...so be it.
I don't care either way.
Mark,
I use Mobil 1 for the faster flow rating and extra high RPM protection. I have used conventional and had no problems.
In winter I start it up and am cruising down the driveway right after...2 miles later I am going 75-80 for a good stretch of highway...everyday.
I also make several highway trips thru the year and the extra protection while humming at 80 for 5 hours don't hurt.
But back to the question...why use it if I am going to sell it in 2 years?
Just because it's not a long term truck for me...why does that mean not to use it? I sold the last 2 trucks to friends of mine....so I wanted this truck...The most expensive one to date...to have the Mobil 1 extra advantage so to speak.
It's not that much extra and is a good "extra" thing to say when you sell it....kinda...
Or we can just say - I use it cuz I want to!...LOL
Mainly for the cold weather starts and high RPM for a long time.
Maybe I may be hurt next week and not be able to work or make as much for a long time and I may HAVE to keep it?
- Tim
Zaino, hard for me to believe a product is "so great", yet only be available through mail order.
Malms, same as above AND if it's truely 100% carnuba only Superman could apply it.
Gnipper, where in Texas are ya? Just had lunch with Mike and Larry (I'll let you figure out there userids) and maybe we can make the next lunch a 4-some (Austin, TX).
Kevin
You will like Indigo Blue. It looks about 12 inches deep after a wax. Good luck!
Ryan
sorry, just had to vent. if i wait 2 more months i can order a '01
Also, anyone else have to relog in? I'm on automatic, and I think I have it straightened out now, but I had to keep putting in my password. Haven't had to do that in a long time. Cookies were enabled.
Now the air bags are a different story. They went up by almost 10psi with the camper weight on.
By the way I think I've found the ideal tire pressure mix (3/4 ton only).
Empty: 45 front, 40 rear.
Loaded: 50 front, 80 rear.
I think these are Tim's findings too, this is getting scary!
My tire theory is same....almost...I leave 50 in front all the time.....I figure those take most of the road abuse and should be at Max for best sidewall protection.....Ya know?
Also it makes it quicker when hauling cuz I only have to adjust the rears!
The difference between 45 and 50 ride..is so minimal for me...I feel why not have the max?
....Is there any other theory to live by than mine Vince??
hehehhee

Thanks for the compliment on the spray-in liner. And I didn't even have to buy you lunch to get it. What did you think of the Catch-all floor mats? I forgot to point out that the Fold-A-Cover has a rubber gasket above each hinge to block water and dust. We also didn't check the front of your pickup box to see if it has the same left-to-right offset as mine and Mike's truck?
Larry
All 2500's come with the small tailgate protector, not the whale tail one.
Snow plow prep is a problem, but you can add the 2nd battery can be added. Vince4 did it, and has written up his findings. Either you can get it from him, or I can send you a copy.

thanks for coming back and posting about this. want to keep mine lubed up and running good, but i'm fairly new at this stuff.

Is it possible to ruin the clearcoat or paint on the Silverado by buffing? Is that something a person can do without having to take it in?
I know, too many questions.
I AM going to order some of that Zaino stuff, sounds awesome.

Thanks for the install instructions for the Husky Mud Flaps. I ordered a set, they should be here in a week.

Did you include the 4 ball joints?
That would make 12, and I only found 11. I think the pittman arm from the steering box did not have grease fitting, where the idler arm on the passenger side did.
dmr3 and rayt2,
Yours is the first 2500s I have heard of (certainly not the last) with the whale tail tailgate protector. Is yours a 2500 Light Duty (7200 GVWR) or HD (8600 GVWR)? if both are LD trucks, it might make sense that 2500 LD and 1500 models get the whale tail, and 2500 HDs don't.
Otherwise, maybe it is one of those things we are not meant to understand (like women).

snow plow prep. and aux. battery. when i was with the dealer owner on the last day to make any changes, he said all the options were ok'ed by the factory as entered and the truck should have come in with them.
still waiting for them to call me with an explaination. i deffinately don't want any aftermarket add-ons in place of the factory installed.
didn't i pay enough & wait long enough to get what i want?
