Very nice truck Matty  :)

and to 3rd Fraser and Scott, I'll add rear window wind/water leaks, front upper corner water leaks and the famous GM piston slap.  

Make sure you service it regularly, all the fluids, keep your eyes on the brakes and it should be a good truck.

As a mechanc and a old tire guy i have seen almost everything that could go wrong with these trucks. and have fit them lol i did a full inspection of her my self and found nothing wrong at the moment. and from the recipts he gave me a lot of what goes wrong has been fixed.

I don't care if something breaks because i know how to fix it and i get parts at cost hehe. guess thats what i get for using nothing but lordco when i ran my own shop  :wink:

Oh and John its the 5.3L  :D

nice choice Matt, 4.8 is too small, and 6.0 is a gas hog.
