:cool: Well, my big purchase of December 2000 turns twen years old today. I have the honour of driving the only 6 speed standard that my dealer ever sold!!! I guess I know why GM stopped selling them.
My question for the board is, would you keep this truck and do all repairs or buy a used 09,10 or 11 model?
I currently have 205800 kms on it, and still have 3 original injectors. The last injector was changed almost 3 years ago and I've had no troubles since. The clutch was changed about 5 or 6 years ago while they were updating the flywheel. I have the clutch they removed.
I consistantly get 20 to 22 mpg (imp gal) and have no other troubles.
If all went to plan I would likely keep this truck another 5 to 10 years and then look to upgrade although I really want to keep the manual shift.
This picture was taken in March of this year so you can see that the body is still good. Any opinions are welcome.:Dhttp://www.thedieselpageforums.com/photopost/data/500/DSC00797A.JPG
