I see myself out there with a bucket as the moment that it hits 30.

If that thing has zero rust right now.... I suggest my "rust prevent plan"

Take a Saturday and get the truck inside warm to wash it very good, all cracks and seams spotless... then wax everyything door jambs and all...

Then use a oil pumper and run oil into every seam on the truck, bed wells, door lips.... everything...

I do all my cars that way for years and none have had rust issues commonly found in Ohio, my 03 Explorer has/had ZERO rust, but now that it was car jacked and stolen that was a waste of my time to keep up on it so good!!

I clean my trucks as much as I can, it is alot of work but pays off in the long run!!!

You sound as anal retentive as me, Tim.

Yes, very much so!!

Hard to keep a truck nice in Ohio, I grew up in a body shop and learned alot about keeping things nice!!

I clean my vehicles every chance I get!

Rust free trucks in MI are rare, and pricey!

Mine's from Fl, so it's good for now. Next fall I'm gonna go with this wax and oil routine to keep it this way, good plan.

Fund, time to just turn up the torsion bars a little to level her out and get a proper truck stance.

Is that safe???

When i had a off road truck years ago, I was told not to jack them to raise it, puts more stress on them...????

I did have one fail in the past and was told it was from jacking it up....(Nissan P/U)

Congrats on the new truck John, looks sharp (although not my color).

You'll love having the dually. I loved mine, probably have another some day. And yes, people will get the hell out of your way when they see you coming.

Thanks Tim. I guess red is my truck color. This is the third red GMC truck since 1986. Although it's burgundy. First diesel. Getting used to that quickly. Boy, 1 ton diesel trucks don't "coast" do they?

The nice thing about this group is that no matter what you buy.... we can find a way for you to spend much more money on it.

I just took it up to Lowe's for furnace filters. Temp: 4 degrees.

It didn't like 4 degrees very much, for the first few minutes.
I let it ilde a while before I pulled out.

I wonder if I can get taller tires on the same rims.

The Sierra badge on the tailgate droops. What's the best way to remove and re-glue it so that it doesn't droop? Drives me nuts.

[insanity]

Thanks. I like it. No buyer's remorse. Just wish that it was warmer so I could wash this dam salt off.

Just run it through the touchless automatic...oh wait...

That could be the proper badge removal procedure though.
