Fullsize again

Post by JaVeRo »

Several here have gone to full size trucks so I thought I would post a picture of mine:

I bought it about 18 months ago. I needed something to pull trailers with. My old 79 GMC finally gave up the ghost for now. It's a 2006 3/4 ton 4wd, 9200 gvw with the 6.0 engine, 4.10 gears and the NV4500 transmission. It also gets horrible gas mileage. But it pulls anything that I need to pull. I have a company truck that I drive most of the time so I have only put 5000 miles on it in 18 months. That takes some of the sting out of the gas mileage.

Nice. Welcome to the world of stepper motor repairs, and oil consumption. Hopefully those bugs don't show up in yours :)
