Replying to: joe29001 (Jun 03, 2006 1:56 pm) Nope the oil light only ever flickered I am pretty careful about driving when the idiot lights come on. Is it a 6 quart capacity? I thought 5 quarts?   Thanks, Buddy Replies to this message: joe29001 (Jun 05, 2006 4:04 am)

Replying to: buddyglee (Jun 04, 2006 1:19 pm) 6-quarts, check your owner's manual, it should be listed under 'capacities'.

Was lucky to find one in ten that was useable and even those were slightly bent, warped, or twisted. Hey, I know a lot of people like that!

Replying to: txyank1 (Jun 06, 2006 4:38 am) YO TX !...............Weather is gettin' nice here in NY ! Do you remember Hoffmans German hotdogs? Some guy named Doug is importing and selling those NY favorites down in TX.................   A good pressure treated board is hard to find unless they are from a inside lumber yard. Whats funny is most of these "carpenters" don't know how to lay the boards out with the "cup" of the wood the right side down so water will run off your deck instead of making line pools of water when it rains!   On topic: My 04 2500 just passed inspection with a HARD 15k miles on it! All towing or snowplowing. Only problem in 3 years had been those heated mirrors glass cracking ! So its off to its 2nd dealer visit in 3 years for replacement!   Can't wait for the GMT-900s to show up next year ! Black, 2500,x-cab, 4wd, plow prep., locker, tow pkg. for me please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Replies to this message: txyank1 (Jun 07, 2006 7:03 am)

Dont get me started. I went through so many deck boards looking for good ones. I pretty much used up the whole 10ft and 8 ft boards. Biggest problem I seen were ends cracking. Now I am dealing with an occasional spindle warping (C shaped). Staining the deck and spindles hasnt helped either. Quality of wood has really decreased in the last 5 yrs (I worked at a lumber yard).   On a truck note yesterday and today I spent greasing the front end, U joints, draining the rear diff, putting on the bfg MTs and paining my fender wells (inner rears) with black spray on bedliner (out of a can). Came out great

Took 1 and a half cans to do both sides. I tarped off the sides with plastic.
#5605 of 5688 I'm amazed at how GM does it.... by obyone Jun 06, 2006 (10:05 pm)
by getting away with 2 leaves on a half ton. Must be made of metal from Krypton. Simply amazing!!

Replying to: geo9 (Jun 06, 2006 5:12 am) Hi George. Don't think I do remember Hoffman's. But I'm at that age where I don't remember too much anyway. I probably didn't get the "cup" right either. But then I never claimed to be a carpenter. I was in NY over Memorial weekend. Daughter and I drove up....straight thru...31 hrs each way! Averaged 21.04 mpg with the Av (3.42 gears). The only place I found gas over 2.80 was in NY State! Topped off at 2.98/gal. before heading back. Truck is still looking good Ryan! One of my Sportsides had NO coating underneath the rear fenders and side of box. It was nice to be able to wash under there and have a clean body-colored inner fender.

Truck hauled the 2200lbs of concrete a few months back great. A little sag but I would say thats a given
#5608 of 5688 2200 lbs? by obyone Jun 08, 2006 (7:22 am)
You should've borrowed Tim's truck. I'm sure he'd lend it to ya course with a few words of wisdom on overloading a 1/2 ton. LOL!
