  1.  

    Any updates on the suspension squeaks? The front swaybar has two bushings that mount against the frame and two end links which connect both ends of the swaybar to the lower control arm. In most cases the swaybar itself does not need to be replaced only the bushings and/or end links.

    Nail on the head, personally seen a vehicle, explorer truck to be exact, that actually tried stuffing cardboard between bushing and frame... I would say maybe a little WD-40 in there as best as possible, then drive where you typically hear the squeaking.
  2. Yea, down here we charge $20 per wheel. The machine we use has a plastic head to remove the tire, but when you put the air lock on, it actually raises up maybe a centimeter or two, trying to avoid touching the wheel, but tough tires it'll all touch, not damage/scratch though. Good thing you don't have tpms we charge extra to swap over... Then if they just keep throwing extra weight on to balance it out, naaambe! I'm still waiting for a posting all about that silver birch of yours though!! :D

  3. I had thought it was that truck, I remember seeing pictures of it in the auction yard he posted. Ebay says it's being sold out of California?

    Richard has all the skinny when it comes to salvage/rebuilt trucks hahahaha! I reeeeaally dig that silver birch you got!

  4. I bit the bullet and did the same last month, picked up a 1 owner garage kept 04' with 29k miles. Mostly stock other than intake, exhaust and bedcover and paid 21k for it. Didn't have a single scratch or blemish on it.

    haha what color is she? Congrats man! I really wanted the truck but I felt I would've been torn between driving and enjoying it racking up miles, or making her a garage queen and very rarely driving, feel I wouldn't have been abke to truly enjoy her, but again congrats on yours!
  5. Hi guys how's it going. I picked up my 2006 ISS a couple of months ago and notice the Temp Gauge goes up to about half way up when warm. Now, when it reaches the point to cool it goes a little bit over half way and you can hear the fans on and it takes it a little while to cool down. It doesn't over heat, just wondering if that is normal? Thanks for your help.

    I have a 13 ccsb silverado and in the summertime my coolant temp always looks like that. Just make sure it never goes further than that, and check out the coolant, If its got some miles on it, you may want to flush it so you know its a proper mix not all water.
  6. Haha! Yes that's the one. He doesn't speak English, maybe he didn't realize what he was saying. I ran car fax against it since I got the VIN

    Yeah I live in South Texas area and people bring vehicles up from the valley with salvage titles and say they were minor fender benders, but you would think it's a newer vehicle it should make the title rebuilt not salvaged.
  7. First $18.5, then $21.5, then $25k now $15k, tomorrow $19k then $20k??

    Haahaha , people who have mid to low mileage seem to be asking at least 18k for their trucks. I could understand an ISS, but base SS no...especially just cl posters/private sellers, these people think their allowed to use dealer pricing on their vehicles...
  8. I understand that, but with two different "for sale" thread, and multiple people asking the price, it's time to spill the beans...unless of course, you know it's way over priced and don't want to get called out lol.

    There was a super clean 05 I believe, awd bone stock SSS with only 7k miles for sale recently asking $27k. If I was in the market, I'd have been checking that one out!

    Are you talking about that silver birch one that was posted for a while? To the guy posting about his red truck, theres a red in in California just under 12k miles and they're asking 30k. Dropped with no front tint, but odometer could've been reset. :/
  9. Yeah someone threw some badges on a step side. GM did make what I call a heavy half for a while. They were made from 01-03 and had 8 lug wheels. It only came in a crew cab and had 1500hd badges. They came with a 6.0 and were a cross not quite 2500 but not quite a 15. Lol

     

    That truck does have what's called special paint option. Dealers could order special colors not normally offered (actually they still can). This looks like one if you look at the SPID label in glove box it will have a option code for special paint. How it works is when dealer places an order for special paint GM has to have at least seven buildable orders then they get produced.

    I thought they did 1500HD up to 07 classic? I also don't like when people post their 4.3 as an SS, or Vortec Max truck as an SS, it probably has more rarity being a Vortec Max than an SS sadly.
