    Hello, my first post here. My wife & I own a '00 ext. cab 1/2 ton Silverado: two tone, red w/ charcoal on the bottom, 4.8L V8. This is my first Chevy truck. I was once a Ford guy & I like the new Dodges (owned one of the previous body styles), but to make a long story short, my wife & I sort of "inherited" this truck. I originally was not thrilled about this. I'll tell you what though, this thing is slowly converting me to a GM truck guy. Knowing the abuse (nearly 128,000 miles & towing things a 1/2 ton should not be towing) this truck went through before we got it & the fact that it still runs/drives great w/ very good gas mileage, no leaks, & even still has the original tranny has really impressed me. So, I'll be nosin' around here trying to find ways to personalize & fix-up this truck (it still shows some of the abuse it has been through though. ) Later....

    Welcome to the site. If you knew what mine has been through you'd really be impressed w/ GM. Also mine has alot of miles on it (see sig at bottom) and still manages to impress a few people. So don't worry about it and drive on !!!

    Yea when my truck had the V6 in it, it read 186K miles but the odometer didnt work since before the guy that I bought it from so god knows how many miles the original engine and tranny had. Since it was a city truck a long time ago I would guess those guys dogged it out.

    Anyways, another texan damn it, well you know what they say, the only 2 things that come out of texas are steers and queers. J/K man, Im a texan myself. I hope you like the site, by the way Im a steer.
