Big ole sexy! Lord have mercy...

Didn't your truck get stolen and someone from New Zealand bought it at auction?

http://enid.craigslist.org/ctd/5840779948.html Mileage seems fair, considering year and that it's an SS. I do believe it had an accudent reported to carfax on it, but to some people as long as it's straight and true,they don't care.

I went back trying to see the interior somewhere, when I read the description again, I sped past that lol

How can you tell it has cloth interior? There's an 07 silver birch in Florida, but has 212k on it and they still want a lot.

Wasn't this truck just for sale by a dealer recently? I recognize the photos and the missing cladding.

Right!? The truck has had 4 owners already. Seems like she's being passed around as a cash cow!

This truck was for sale on Autotrader by a private seller and he was asking in the 20's, I remember because it had 7k on it. Guess he gave up and sold to the dealer, wonder hiw much the original owner made out with? Theres also an ISS for sale in Iowa I believe has just over 31k and they're wanting $28k I think it was.

I would reply but my head exploded! Haha I knew I recognized the wheels! I always saw your truck in the lot next to the fire station, and right across that building they recently built, cant remember the building's number, but OMG can't believe I guessed that crap lol. I used to work for a maintenance contract out there is how I had seen it in case you were freaked out haa!

Wait wait wait, my head is physically going to explode if Im correct on this, but do you work at CCAD by chance?

Damn those seats look sooo good with red accents to match the truck! How South into Texas are you?

Yeah I was just messing haha, Down here I see most people coming from florida, maryland and some washington that are in the service.

Maybe its time to let go of the SS... I see you have Texas plates, I know a person looking for an SS in Texas, he said with a grin fron ear to ear while pointing at hinself! Haha So good to hear your willing to work it out with a co worker, most people these days go overboard and want to get paid a check for being bumped... :/

Your truck looks killer! GLWS man!

Speaking of theft recoveries... I saw one posted in Cali for sale, well the title history report says that it was stolen and recovered the same day about a month or two before being posted for sale. Wouldn't that put a mark in the title, rebuilt, reconstructed or even salvage in worst case? Doesnt appear to be missing anything or show any damage from theft.

Damn that sucks, I'm sorry that happened. I know I had seen a silver birch 06 for sale in San Antonio, and now I'm seeing it posted in Las Vegas, the dealer didn't even bother to remove the gaudy side steps, and the driver headlight had discoloration. I know its just business but, at least let the person you buy from know. Good luck in finding it, hopefully the current owner is looking into another vehicle!

I've seen many that were optioned out, but then I've also seen many with nothing better than traction control beside the air vent. I have been looking for a silver birch foreeever, but the ones I've found have spotty records and or no options. I had seen one in Cali for over $20k with 80 or 90k, but the title history showed it had been stolen and recovered not too long before being put up for sale... which leads me to believe the title is not actually so "clean and clear."

Damn, 375 is what, driving from the dealer home with it?! What color did you get, I know black and red seem to be the most common/popular colors, but arrival blue sure does look sexy! I hear mixed opinions on the silver birch trucks, 05 or 06, But I know many of them only came with a power seat, very under optioned, but damn when that silver birch shines, omg!

Obviously using wd-40, liquid wrench, or pb blaster will help break up some of the rust, but when they do give way, work em. Do half a turn off, then do maybe around a quarter turn on, and so on, might help them come out easier.

Yea, sometimes the miscommunication between people in the service and parts department is just plain nuts...

Just today my serice advisor told me a customer needed air in his tires, well I walked to the car and he said I hope you can help me with this noise I'm having etc... turned out he told her he had a grinding noise from the passenger brakes! When I quoted my advisor for front brake pads with resurfacing and 2 front tires she stared like I thought he only needed air?

Its kind of funny all vehicle manufacturers converting to led headlight and fog light technology. I've always heard front facing lights are a white to yellow color so you can see through hazy conditions better fog, rain etc, but i'm not so sure of that theory...

My 2013 ccsb has leds in the fogs and the low beams, I got the 5k color temp fron diode dynamics, had them just over a year now, no complaints. I can't remember the lumen output, but they claim to measure the actual light emitted, not just calculate that 3 leds at 50 lumens per led means 150 output. They have almost a faint purple tint them, but in a way it looks good not cheesy.

That's what I was thibkibg as well. I wonder if your headers hasket has a leak? Iwonder if you could isolate where you think the ticking is coming and put your hands near and see if you feel any exhaust seeping out or notice a differnce in the tick sound? Also, you said you seafoamed it, maybe that stuff wore the gasket a little more, if exhaust leak is the problem that is.
