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)
#76 of 86 Bounce in rear by wes06 Jun 13, 2006 (11:16 am)
I noticed a lot of disscussion on this subject back in '01. I just bought an '06 Sierra 1500 Crew Cab. There is a bouncing in the rear end when I hit a slight bump in the highway at pretty much any speed. Is this still a problem for GM? Did they ever come up with a solution?

Replying to: joe29001 (Jun 06, 2006 5:22 pm) Sorry I haven't responded for a while. Been a little busy. Thanx for your input on the numerical gears.
#78 of 86 Lubrication Points/Grease Fittings by bobby45 Jan 29, 2007 (2:56 am)
I have a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 Extended Cab Z71 I have always changed my oil and filter but had somone else do the grease jobs. I would like to start the grease jobs myself but I don't want to miss any fittings as there are many. Can anyone tell me where I can find a drawing/diagram of the greas fittings on this truck?           Thanks, BW
#79 of 86 Exhaust System by mike614 Jan 31, 2007 (7:08 pm)
Hi.... I am in the process of ordering a new 2007 1500 GMC Sierra. I was going to upgrade the exhaust system to a Cat-Back touring version. Supposedly it has throaty purr. Is this true, does anyone know what it sounds like, and does any one have this system? I don’t want an extremely loud system, but something that makes a nice sound.
