Hey guys
Anyone know much about these trucks. A guy wants to trade me for a mustang I've got in pieces and will likely never get back together. I figured its a great tow rig/winter beater for my old lady.
I've got a 99 silverado with a 5.3 that I can canibalize parts from if needed should anything come up,and I've still got my 99 silverado z-71 in the driveway.
So I'm unfamiliar with the awd system they use. I'm very familiar with the 4wd system though.
And what about the 6.0. Is that vintage engine any good. I think it's got the tow package too.
Any experienced info would be great please. I know steveSRT has a lot of experience with these engines in his service trucks. Maybe he'll see this thread.
Thanks guys. Oh. And it's gonna be my tow rig so of course what oil shoud I run. I'm gonna have a surplus of m1 0w-40 thanks to my man Rikstaker,and I've still got 12 jugs of ultra 5w-20,so a mix would give me a 30 grade should we decide that's best for pulling my trailer.
Trailer is roughly 4000 pounds plus kids and gear.
Thanks gents.
