#66 of 86 Must be a typo by joe29001 Aug 04, 2005 (3:44 am)

Hello,   I own a 2001 Chevy Silverado c/k3500 Crew Cab, LongBed, Dual Rear Wheels, 8.1L 496 ci, 4x4 with Allison Transmission. Just looking for other trucks like mine. I am having a hard time finding other trucks like mine and am wondering about production numbers/builds of these fine trucks.   Small modifications have been made on my truck. My truck page is located here.   Chat with you all later! I'm gonna look around some more. Replies to this message: obyone (Aug 09, 2005 10:08 am) simplyrad (Aug 09, 2005 3:34 pm)

Replying to: simplyrad (Aug 09, 2005 8:45 am) Welcome to the forum!!   Do you have any problems parking that boat? Just curious....   You are right as I rarely if ever seen that configuration with the gas motor. Most all of them have the duramax. Replies to this message: simplyrad (Aug 09, 2005 3:34 pm)

Replying to: obyone (Aug 09, 2005 10:08 am) LoL, I prefer to call it half of my land yacht.   Yeah, sometimes I have problems parking. Living in Southern California, I have sort of become anti-compact parking. Businesses are trying to squeeze many compact cars into small lots and forget about full-size vehicles. The turning radius is not that great being extra long so, most of the time I park out and away. I somewhat prefer this so my beauty does not get banged up by ignorant folk.   Nonetheless, still looking for other trucks like mine and I am wondering how many of them were built. Actually, I have only seen one other truck having the same year and configuration. Link to other truck like mine. How rare is my truck?

I've seen two. One black and one white that I can remember. I've always like duallies and often pciture leaving a fender behind at the drive thru at McD's....   I haven't seen any sites that breakdown the light truck sales into the different catagories. You might check here for a few more owners of your type of truck.....
#71 of 86 Hello everybody! by chstr1000 Mar 29, 2006 (8:20 pm)
My name is David. I live in Jefferson City, MO and own a 02' Silverado 1500 4x4 LT ext. cab Z71 short bed. It is light pewter metallic w/graphite leather interior. My truck has the 5.3 w/auto and about 125,000 miles. It runs and drives super smooth even with the high miles. It's mostly stock with a few accessories like bugshield, ventvisors, fiberglass running boards, Rhino liner, Flowmaster dual exhaust, and a K&N air filter. I do have some of the common silverado problems, but all in all, this truck is really a nice vehicle. Replies to this message: socaljoe (May 30, 2006 8:56 pm)

Replying to: chstr1000 (Mar 29, 2006 8:20 pm) Hello, I own a 2003 Silverado 4.8 ext. cab. It was bought new in Sept of 2002. It now has 54k miles on it. Mods are Procomp 7" lift, Procomp 33" tires, American Eagle 16" wheels, Procomp MX-6 adjustable shocks, re-geared to 4.10, K&N filter, Diablo Sport programmed chip, Wolfliner spray-on bedliner. I haven't had any problems with this truck, not even minor ones. I tow my toys (2 seadoos) with it, and I keep up the maintenance and use Mobil synthetic every oil change. To today, the truck still runs smoot and strong(knock on wood)
#73 of 86 Let's give here a go. by dre7 Jun 01, 2006 (4:42 pm)
Hello, people, my name is Andre and I'm from Ontario, Canada. I'm new to this forum as I am only a recent owner of a 99 Sierra, I wanted a Silverado cause the name sounds better, but it's the same truck so I'm not worried. I've worked with truck many years at work but I'm a first time truck owner so I'll be asking alot of dumb questions. First off, what exactly does a Z-71 model truck have that the others don't? I'd like to know exactly so I can start making changes to my truck. Anyways, that's all for now, I've got other questions but I'll kepp it simple to start.
#74 of 86 ratios by billingsley Jun 06, 2006 (7:31 am)
Hi- I don't own a Silverado/Sierra, but I'm considering one. My question is: I want to tow a travel trailer. A mid size. Would I be better to get the higher numerical rear end ratio or stick with the normal one? Would fuel mileage suffer with the higher ratio, or would it make so little difference it wouldn't matter?     Replies to this message: joe29001 (Jun 06, 2006 5:22 pm) billingsley (Jun 16, 2006 11:16 am)

Replying to: billingsley (Jun 06, 2006 7:31 am) Go with the lowest gears available (4.10 on most models). Your mileage will likely be better around town and when towing (slightly worse on the highway, empty). Replies to this message: billingsley (Jun 16, 2006 11:16 am)
