2wd drive is great fo playing around but a year around daily drive AWD is a must!!!

Did you check the fuse box in the engine compartment? I had two guys at the car wash run both my seats up at the same time and I guess when the seats hit the stop, it blew the big square fuse block. That would be the first place I would look.

Arizona.... No rust at all on that piece of steel!!! How did you transport it? My last bed adventure I flipped the bed upside down and I installed boards in my stash pockets. Then screwed boards length wise to rest the upside down bed. A few straps and big C clamps held it in place from Texas to NJ.

Hey NYSS, I sent you back a PM with my contacts numbers. Sorry it took a few days to get back to you. My phone was going crazy all last week. I just got a replacement phone. Thanks!

Thanks guys for looking out for me! I'm reaching out to NYSS and see what he has for me. LA is a bit of a ride...LOL but I did go to San antonio for my 67 chevy truck bed. So anything is possible

Thank You everyone!

I purchased shorty stainless steel headers from eBay but the passenger side outlet didn't have a flat flange. It had the bulb flange sticking out on the header. I cut it off so it will fit now but I needed the truck back so I had the stock manifold bolts fixed and replace. I paid $190 I'll take $175 plus whatever the shipping is.

I guess no one is breaking down their SS silverado. I guess that's a good thing but bad for me

Finally cleaned out the glovebox. You guys were right GT5 4:10 gears. I don't know why I was stuck on 3:73 unless the sales person stuck it in my head when I bought it. Oh well, carry on

Rustoleum rust converter paint and stay on it!!! I too was very disgusted with the lack of undercoating on our trucks! The sad part is the frame metal gauge is very thin compared to older trucks and it won't take much for strength to be comprised. Watch your brake lines. I replace all of mine with stainless steel after a blow out during an emergency stop! Cause by rust under the drivers seat.

I never seen a front diff go bad unless you're throwning some serious power. Are you sure it's not the hub bearings. 80k is when the bearings act up.

I'm in NJ with connections in Texas and Northeast Pennsylvania. I Can pick up the bed in person and I'm willing to drive far if the price is right. I can be reached at [email protected] Thank you.

Thank you for getting back to us.

I run optima batteries in most of my vehicles. Their is two things an owner needs to know. 1) they don't like to be discharged under 10 volts because they don't recharge properly unless you put a lot of voltage to it! 2) every now and then or if the battery goes low. You have to cook the optima battery (their words, not mine) . You have to use a heavy duty charger with the boost or start setting. My charger puts out 200 amps from harbor freight. (Great charger for the money). Crank it up to 200 for an hour and the batt will start hissing, stinking and it might drip a little out the vent but afterwards, it's a new battery. I have some that are 10 years old, maybe older.

Even my owners manual doesn't list it. Under towing it says contact your dealer for tow rating but in the advertisement brochure it says the SS is rated for 7400lbs. That's the same rating as the other k1500 with 3:73 . The trucks with 4:10 tow @8500lbs. What code should I be looking for on my glove box sticker? 3:73 was GT4 or something like that??? I really don't want to go under my truck but if I have something rare, I want to know! I have a little rust over my right rear wheel well and I was thinking of fixing it or dare I say it... Sell it
