[400EXrider#91]

sweet tommy...bowtie all the way

[pead_24]

Yep CHEVROLET!!!!!!

[bulkdriverlp]

wow thats a good deal, if you like crusing around chevys are the best, so happy for ya. so do me a favor thou,

go under the truck and count how many holes there are in the frame? it may take a while. do you think all them holes make the frame stronger??lmmfao

BUILT FORD TOUGH

[400exr]

That's awsome!!! I just hope you have more luck with the new chevys then I have :( We had a 95 chevy that was very nice, and ran perfect for 5 years with no problems. Then we traded that one in on a 00 Chevy, worst thing we could have done! Nothing but problems, after the first 500km it had leaky front end seals, transmission problems, etc. It got so bad that the the dealership even exchanged that truck for a new 01. We're still having problems with this one, but at least it's not as bad as the 2000! I guess I'll have to try Ford next...

[Tommy 17]

it looks just like this... its not a z71 thou and its a 05...

[ZQ8Dude]

very nice, btw is it 4x4?

bulkdriver- i hear you there! im a diehard ford fan...its just Chevy did one hell of a job on the colorado. especially compared to the old ranger

[Tommy 17]

yeah its the autotrac 4x4

that pic looks like it should be in a commercial. nice truck! :macho

[Guy400]

Tommy, you'll really like the Autotrac. When the weather got chitty here Monday night I just pressed the Auto button and continued on in 2WD. I was going around a corner at an intersection that hadn't been plowed yet and just as the rear end started to break free you felt the front wheels grab and correct the truck. After you get straightened out you're back in 2WD saving MPG and excessive wear on the front end!

[Tommy 17]

guy thats exactly why we got it...

my moms gonna drive it when it gets really bad out so we don't want her to have to worry about putting it in and out... just push the button when u see its bad out and it'll do the rest for u...

My has a locking rear diff. and is not a Z71. actually my truck sucks in the snow. too much power. too heavy a motor (too much weight up front) and it can get sideways WAYS to easy driving down the road in the snow.


Nice truck tommy. I am sure you will like it!

you have the same options as normal but you add the auto button

auto
2wd
4w High
4w Low

if you are in auto it will take you in and out of 4x4 when ever you need it

[YLW400]

Nice truck dude.. I love my Z

[Tommy 17]

i got the lockin diff in the rear... forgot to add that... i can't wait till my finals done tonight so i can test it offroad:devil:


yeah its got 2wd, 4hi, 4low, auto 4x4 which is basically just like the AWD on subarus...

i want to get a nice grill for it, bug shield, rhino liner, nerf bars, vent shields... and the list will just continue:devil:



sad thing is i already got 3 dates with it:eek2: girls must like red chebys

[ZQ8Dude]

lol, yeah red does something. same thing happened to me when i bought mine....guess ill be buying red cars from now on ;)

ummm no... you are completely wrong.

The G80 locking diff can be ordered on any truck - it is NOT limited to the Z71 package!

as a matter of fact, my work truck is a 2004 2wd and has a locking rear end. My 1999 Z71 has the same rear end - G80.

lol funny... i did that to a friend back when i had a 4x4 jeep lol. friends chevy got stuck and had someone with a ford pull him out :D



my Zq8 has that same locker, its not a bad locker for a factory thing. nothing like a factory sport truck that can lay a nice fat pair of skidmarks

[FasstMidnightZ]

i'm gettin my dads 1193 chevy 1500 its awsome hes got like a 4 inch lift on it right now

[02Yellow400]

i have a new silverado z71 to tommy its an awesome truck the 327 is a great motor. Good luck with it

[Mxjunkie]

hey tommy put some miles on it and make a road trip down here :macho

[MOFO]

actually the 5.3 is not a 327... its a 325....but most people like to call it a 327.
