You can read the specs for the Predator. No comparison especially with that coupon...
I am interested in getting a light duty truck and think the GMC Sierra is the best looking one out there. My question is that I put 20-25k miles a year on my vehicle and really want good mileage. Is there any information about GM putting a light duty diesel in the 1500's?
Also, I notice that there are a lot of problem-forums in the GMC/Chevy forums, are the 2007+ models trouble prone? I thought they were being awarded for best truck all over the place?
Any insight welcome.

As far as the problem-forums, well one of the reason's there are so many posts about GMC/Chevy is because there are so many out there. So naturally there are going to be more problems reported. There are quite a few Toyota Tundra problems out there as well, both with the current tundra and the previous one. Reason being, at least in my opinion, is that cars and trucks are getting ever more complicated. The more complicated you make something, the less reliable it becomes. Some of it too is just skimping on quality parts. Hopefully they speared no expense but only time will tell if the new truck will hold up. There is no way to tell what problems will pop until they do start popping up.
FWD car eh?
To maximize your OCI (oil change interval) I would recommend doing an oil analysis. This site has oil analysis covered as well as some other interesting reading...

I always turn on the AUTOTRAC when its raining. This stops any wheel spin when taking off.
Thank you
The previous owner had a camping trailer and insists that he took good care of the truck. And yes, it is a turbo 6.5 diesel engine.
Adding to my thinking that it might make for a fine truck is the fact that where we live we don’t get much of a winter and salt is never used. Also, the truck has never been in an accident.
Thank you once again.
Thank you
I'm just wondering if it is worth it. Thanks.
Coupla questions for you regarding the exhaust system....what year is your PU? what engine do you have ? did you notice any performance issues? have you heard the Magnaflow system? Those 2 seem to be the most popular. Someone said they thought Magnaflow sounded better but I haven't heard either one :confuse: If you have a digital camera, the time and inclination, you could record the sound and send it via email Maybe someone else could do the Magnaflow system And maybe someone could organise a library on the web of exhaust sounds, how cool would that be? :shades:

BTW - I just bought a 2005 Silverado Z71
LR4= 4.8
rust starting inside doorways and bottom of extra cab. It is a 4x4. It has alot of extra add ons on it for looks, grill inserts light covers. bed cover. When do you think? :confuse:
thanks
The parking brake shoes are shot, and the rear rotors look like they're in need of replacement. I had all my rotors turned back around 45k miles.
I was wondering if anyone had comments about Napa-brand rotors / pads? They are the closest parts store to me, and I like them. If not Napa, what would you recommend? OEM ? This is a truck that gets little-use, so I don't need any HD or cross-drilled (over-priced) stuff.
Thanks - Mark
2000 Silverado - front brake calipers: I've tried a T50 (too small) and a T-60 (too big). Is it a T-55? Where/who carries it?
Thanks!
