So I just had my 04 that I had just about destroy me and my family. Fuel regulator seals blew and almost caught fire... That was the final straw... So found this K2 with 71k on it... Figured why not, I havent had a K2 yet... I was really wanting to go back to a truck. But after driving 15 different trucks, they dont feel right and I said screw it, a 5x8 trailer is cheap to fix my pickup truck needs.

Loaded Ltz with max towing etc... I liked it from the first time I found it... Lets see if my relationship goes better with this one..

How do you like her over the 900s? She'll get better mileage for sure. Is it an early or late 2015?

900s will always feel like home to me for some reason... I have loved 4 of those over the years... Maybe this will grow on me... Ride wise its pretty comparable... The accelerator pedal is going to take some getting used to. Very used to no delay or minimal. THis thing you have to put some foot in it for it to go... So I know a pedal commander will fix that and a range afm if I went that route... I get it delivered after they put a new windshield in it, probably a day or 2, so will fill yall in on the differences I can put down between all platforms. One notable thing is the road noise is so much quieter in this... No buffering to note on the freeway to 80... I can tell the mag ride on the freeway is stiffer than in town... But our freeways suck here anyways...

Is there any kind of warranty on it? For the cost of a Pedal Commander and Range, you could get a tune and be FAR better off.

Gonna fix the 04?
I fixed it, sold it at a loss last sunday. I love the NBS platform in many ways, I think that truck just hated me... So I don't miss it... I still miss my 03 I had years ago some days... But the 04... NOPE... I think when a ride just completely just keeps sticking the middle finger up at me... I get done... That fluke accident happening with the regulator made no sense... It was put together right, and everything... When it almost takes me and the wife out... That is the point where it doesn't stay... If she was driving it, it would have burnt...

So onward to new things I guess... This is one of two vehicles that fit my broad shoulders ok that has been made in the last 7 years... The other is the 19 and up rams....

I've had cars like that--they just hated me too.
