    Help! Time for a New Vehicle...

    Alright fellas.. It's about time for a new truck because mine has 134000 miles and is a 05 cc 2wd 5.3.. i want something more sporty so im stuck between these.. i also really want a 4wd for deer camp but i am debating on 2wd.. I have to have a 6.2 6l80e...

    options are...
    2wd ecsb
    4wd ecsb
    2wd ccsb
    4wd ccsb..
    all with 6.2 6l80e LT package.. No Need for an LTZ... 2009 and above with less than 30000 miles is really what im wanting..

    Or i have thought about a Trans am or Camaro and keeping my truck..

    I want the 4wd for deer camp since i sold my 4wheeler and also for launches.. I do PLAN on a turbo or supercharger.. Nitrous at first probably... but i have heard a ton of people say they regret it afterwards because you NEVER use it..

    I HATE slammed truck which i guess is another reason i want a 4wd.. truck man get a front end lvlin kit with some 33" trail grapplers and keep the 17s for the track... What do yall think???

    Also who for the turbo or supercharger? Nelsons turbo front mount or magnacharger??? will have the 33s... which ever is most reliable with most power and decent mileage....

    also im more than happy with 12s.....

    Honestly I would buy the car of your choice then do a small lift to your truck, like a 3" spindle and 2" blocks.

    2wd trucks can go just about where ever a 4x4 can, and you already have a good limited slip so now all you really need are good tires.

    I'll let someone else do the performance talking since I don't know much about FI.

    Arent you young?? Dont get yourself into debt man... Save your money so you can pay cash for something to mod, car nots arent no.joke these days with the economy like it is... Believe me my last 3 vehicles all bought with cash its much more enjoyable... Nothings wrong with ur truck it your worried bout miles put a 6.2 in it there you go new truck!

    I used to preach and preach to my young dumb marines to save their effin money instead of gettin into huge car notes and having to.half ass mods... I always made, yes made this one marine watch what he spending and eat chowhall.ru well when I left that unit he had a 2010 silvy rcsb and paid cash money for it.. im ramblimg but see it everyday still to this day..

    Personally, I would keep the truck and get a car. Never been a huge fan of lifted trucks, so I don't think you wanna hear what I would do in your shoes haha
    Always buying things I dont need to impress people I dont know

    ur right man lol no doubt.. but im stubborn and gotta have the best of everything... by the time i pay to get a 6.2 and 6l80e im going to have already spent some serious coin.... notes on a 6.2 crew cab z71 4x4 that i found 2009 6l80e ltx only 22993 asking price.. im sure i could get it for less out the door.. just dont want an ltz and so many miles... payments arent that much honestly... 300 a month for 3 or 4 years is nothing to me...

    ur right lol... i love lifted.. i think ima just go to a 4x4 excab or crew cab.. ecsb is way less money for some reason so i may go that route for a lil less weight and plus i never use my crew cab...

    trade in on my truck is 8000.. my truck is paid for... new is a rip even with rebates... rebates are 5500 right now on 2011s... the only 6.2 i have found here new i have called about over and over and the dealership wont go lower than 33700 with rebates... im buyin used because it is cheaper and my credit score is a 755 cause i started building early because i am a smart kid. i was already approved for a truck 30000 out the door with no co-signer but decided to wait to see what else i could find... interest rate was 5.9%... trust me i have everything down... 189 dollars full coverage through nationwide on a brand new 2011 6.2 z71.. i have done my homework and youre not coming off as a dick AT ALL.. i totally respect your opinion.. Im just one of those that wants what i want right then but i am also willing to work for it. I REALLY WISH I KNEW WWHERE HE GOT AN EXT CAB SILVY 6.2 FOR 21000... I'D BE ON IT IN A HEARTBEAT...
