    Thank you for your feedback. And for schooling "Reaper" ;) My 2003 (lovingly referred to as Ron Burgundy) owes me nothing! If this new sparkle buggy could hold its own against Ron, I'd be delighted.

    I'm in Michigan, and from the service records, it was kept local, which means there's a touch of rust over the rear fender - that was already in the books for repair. Thankfully, I have family that is in the classic restoration business, and they were going to go over every nook and cranny. I...

The local shop's description is "fluid...

    That was my initial train of thought - reach out to the dealership and see what they have to say. I personally thought that it drove beautifully, the steering felt tight; there was no shimmy or pull. I am fairly accustomed to driving a base model 3/4 ton truck that rides a bit like a lumber...

    Hi Forum, I appreciate the wealth of knowledge that's shared amongst this community. ** I am going to preface this thread by acknowledging that the situation I am in is of my own doing; I was fully aware of the gamble.** I recently purchased a wholesale 2015 Tahoe with 206K on it; I drove the...
