Also didnt get the stump pulled damn thing turned out to be pretty big. I chopped and axed and couldnt get far enough under the roots to put a rope. Oh well maybe this wk.
Also bought a grease gun and Mobil grease. Didnt have time to do it today. Got home at 5 and it took me 2 hrs to wash my truck then it got dark i hate this getting dark to early.

If your buying a used one look one the internet for prices first. I looked at autobytel and many others and got a idea of prices, then took this info. to the dealer and it definetly helped my barganing power. There great trucks, unfortunatly I can't afford the operating expenses on it which is typical for any truck...
I work in Junction City, OR.

So far it's the only flaw I've found.
However, the warranty in '99 was indeed 36, 000 miles. 40,000 miles in one to two years is quite a lot.
Now if you were pulling stumps......ROLOL!

I bot a set of heavy duty tow hooks today an installed them. Had to cut out the indentions in the air dam - just used a new blade in a box knife and took it slow. The radius of the corners were the hardest to cut.

I will be working at the Oklahoma State Fair in the Insurance Commissioner's booth on Sunday, usually the Chevrolet dealers have a bunch of new cars and trucks there, will look and see if they have any on display.
Anybody have any recommendation on a tow strap? Length, width, loops vs hooks, flat vs rope, brand, etc?

Kinda sorta like a big dremel...

Tow straps...the kind with elastic (10%??)..nylon type...loop at both ends...about 2" wide?....works great. Not too heavy...and rolls up neatly and fits into a gallon size bag. I keep it in the truck at all times...comes in handy now and then.
The elastic feature is nice. You hook up to the car/bush/or whatever you are going to pull....take off and when it tightens...the effect is almost like a slingshot (not that fierce though)...and almost jerks the cars out...(kinda)...it also lightens the "jolt" on your truck when it does take up the slack...unlike a chain that jolts your truck ....
I don't remember what the Lb. rating was...but I have yanked cars out of ditches 3 times with it and pulled several things out and it has never broke or even shown signs of it..
I don't remember where I got it...(Cabelas??)....but several stores will have them.....as with a chain..don't buy too cheap of one..

The local chevy dealers had a bunch of trucks and cars on display at the State Fair today. I was able to sneak away from my duties to get a peak at them.
They had a 2001 2500HD with a 6.0L, 3.73, auto, air, reg cab, black, long bed. Pretty basic machine for sticker price of ~$24K. Like the grill better than my '00, otherwise looked about the same.
Also had a Avalanche on display, but it was roped off, only ables to get to about 10 feet from it. Looked like it might be a fun machine. Saleslady said it was built on a 3/4 ton Suburban chasis. No price, no sticker - lady said they will be available at approx. starting in the mid $30's "nicely equiped". Lots and lots of people were taking an interest in the display model. The model on display also had a bunch of add-ons for the outdoor person, (ie.,agressive tires, lights, roof rack, grill guard, etc.) and it had a "North Face" decal behind the second door on the passenger side. (North Face is the manufacturer of quality outdoor gear for hikers, backpackers, climbers, etc.)

...still waiting to drive one though...

You might have the ABS checked. A chirp and drag every 20 seconds regardless of speed sounds like you may have a stray voltage triggering the ABS. Take the mechanic on a test Drive.

I do not misuse my truck, I primarily use it to commute. I would like my Chevy much more if it didn't spend so much time in the shop. If Chevy doesn't stand behind my tranny, I'll never buy another GM product.
Thanks,
Jeff
to see if this will work for you, use masking tape or some equivalent to tape the gasket to the glass. then go for a test drive. no noise? then that's your problem. silicone it up...
mine does it at about 75-80 mph, but i usually have the radio on loud enough that it doesn't bother me. so...i've been too lazy to do anything about it.

I have done some of that stuff...not with Garands though....more of sillouete (why can't I spell??)...with bolts...6MM and .308....at 1000...
My buddy is a gunsmith and builds custom rail guns and the such for this....as well as High priced customs......he has taken state champ a few times...and does it more than me....I just go and watch more....and do the open shoots when I can...i don't have time for the entire circuit...
I had a .308 M24 custom built a while back...HS precision stock...obermyer barrel...700 action just like the US...except mine was half the $6000 the army pays.....damn good gun...
Glad to hear some others hear share the same interests.....220Swift does this sometimes as well....(hence the name)
Onstar....I thought at carwizard.com I saw you could order it with and without Onstar on an LT?....cuz I don't want it in mine...

KBB.com..when you price it out....it can be done both ways...at a savings of $340....
check it out...
perhaps the early orders of 2001's had no choice?...
ask the dealer.....do you want on-star?
