So in looking at replacement trucks for my '98 rcsb ... I do get a little excited about the SS Silverado's

Specifically 6.0 liters, and AWD (winter "capable" needed here in UT)

Has anyone owned one or have any experiences ?

I heard they don't get to good of mileage, but that's not too huge of a concern, as I don't put too many miles on my truck.

Any input appreciated (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Maybe just fix what ya need to and enjoy it. Only lose money if ya sell it.

Got it towed down to a repair shop today.

I keep thinking that's the "cheapest" way out ... try and get it fixed and just make the monthly payments, BUT I just don't know if I could ever trust it again (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ... Or even LIKE it again, at this point I'm still pretty pissed off.

I guess it proves poor man have poor ways, I tried to upgrade my truck to something "nice" and ended up with just a bunch of debt (for me "a bunch" is different) ... Most of my friends have $40k+ diesels but I guess that's a different story all together.

Is it really that bad? What exactly is wrong with it?

Quoted from above (he's having it diagnosed shortly):

They then shuffled me inside to complete the paper work ... my mistake for not checking over the truck THOROUGHLY (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I was a done deal and then I started looking closely (I had left and went to a near by gas station / convenience store). I found so many cosmetic issues that I actually went back to the dealership and tried to get out of the deal ... long story short it was too late (my salesman had already left as soon as I did, and the sales "manager" and finance lady were real pieces of work (this is me being nice!) .. OK OK, so lots of paint and body things to fix ... deal with it .. some peoples version of nice is different than my elevated standard.

Started driving home ... again LONG story short I made it 14.75 of the 15 hour drive back (lucky I made it "home" really) ... lots of problems along the way check engine lights, tires with 20 psi, IP cluster issues, etc. etc. etc.

THEN all hell broke loose somewhere in either the transmission, transfer case, front diff., CV axles, ??? Almost made it to Sunday dinner at my moms, but had to go get my old truck to tow the new one to her house (Sunday afternoon).
