Looking at buying a commuter car for kid drop offs and pick ups. What are the general opinions of them long term. Looking at a '14 with 100k for 8k.
Any info is appreciated.

Well here it is, in all its glory.
2018 2500 4x4 OffRoad 6.4 Hemi 3.73 gears Tradesman package. Currently 700ish miles.
This is meant to be an ANTI-Project. Plans are...
So as my other thread stated, I spun a bearing in my 97 454 vortec motor with low miles on a rebuild.
The crank has already been turned once, I assume I just need to replace it. Is there anything spcial about the vortec 454?
I found a 95 tbi 454 with 78k miles forsale, would that bottom end...
I guess this truck has officially been taken off the chopping block. I bought it 2yrs ago for the 110k mile optimizer with paper work. I never did anything but fire it up and hop pasture to pasture as an extra for of transportation. When my duramax needed a heart the little truck drug the big...
I might be loosing my mind but I found a k3500 crew cab long bed SRW 4x4 one owner Texas truck with 153k on the chassis and 3k on a rebuilt 454, rebuilt 4l80, new aluminum radiator, all new hoses, new ac system, new heater core, new alternator, new power steering and lines, new injectors, and...
My 2013 lml with deleted, fass, and motor ops tune shut off going down the highway.
When cranking it has 0frp. The desired frp shows 5.2k.
Shop is thinking cp4 quit. Thoughts? Time to cp3 swap?
Ok so this thing still had 140psi compression across the board but spun a rod bearing.
I am going to swap in vortec heads and a marine cam but what rebuild kit will be best. Anything else I should do to the engine internally?
This will be in a 94 c3500 5 speed with 4.56's.
I am looking at a 91 k2500 350 eclb 8 lug. Will it have a a 4l80E? The add says lost reverse and the owner is oblivious when I try to get them to send pics of the trans.
Working on my brother in laws Denali. It has a 6" lift and 35" mud tires. Driving in the mountains on a ski trip he heard a loud pop and the engine free revs in drive and reverse.
So we pulled the trans and tcase assuming a broken input shaft. Now we cant get the torque converter to pull off...
Ok so my little flatbed step child has decided to try the life of a comedian by way of knock knock jokes.
It has a pretty good case of a rod knock on the passenger side. I have a 1990 Tbi 350 with a little over 200k on it that I bought as a parts truck on the same deal as the 94 c3500 came in...
Well I'm about fed up with this 350, it's not terrible running but in the fact that I add a qt of coolant and a qt of oil every 5 k says it needs work, heads at the very least.
I have a buddy with a 96 C2500 single cab fin F with 60k on a GM crate engine from 2010. My thoughts are put the cab...
The Ol Basket Case strikes again.
I just put a new fuel pump in at 112k, currently 120. Now my truck sputters until it dies if I go over 1/2-3/4 throttle. Floored for more than 30 seconds will bring me to a stop. Changed all filters and oil as well as spray out the throttle body since it was...
So at 120k I have a wheel bearing taking a slow death (been squeaking since 110k but just now getting loose).
Do these come as a pair of hubs or do I need to order both?
Are the bearings serviceable? @GM Guy
When I press the pedal the pedal bounces and the clutch squeals until I lift my foot.
Do I need a new clutch? Or is it just the throw out bearing?
Clutch doesn't slip at the moment.
Ok, the TCM quit on my '13 LML, the radiator cracked, it has a fuel leak, the AC quit, and .....
So once I find a tcm, and get it straightened out I'm parting ways and want a crew cab 6.5 and a c3500HD for hauling duties. I don't fully buy into the the 5.9 Cummins being the only way to tow BUT...
Looking for a truck to use as a cattle and hay hauler. I don't really want a full size semi but may consider one down the road.
I am looking at Kodiak/Topkick trucks trying to stay under 10k closer to 5k needing a little work.
Found an 07 C7500 7.8L and know absolutely nothing about that...
My truck had 113,xxx hard earned miles puffing through a constipated tail pipe.
Who is the best LML tuner (reasonable priced)?
What tunes? I don't need a race tune, just dd, light tow, medium tow, heavy tow, and "let's break something"/offroad tow.
What exhaust? I want it quite, like stock...
So I found a pretty clean 85 C30 3+3 dually with 6.2 and th400.
The flywheel has missing teeth and can't be started but the engine has decent compression.
Do you have to pull the the trans out to replace the flywheel? If so this sounds like the perfect time to slide my 4L80 in.
Iirc, on DS4 trucks they are programmed for cruise even if not equipped and the multifunction switch with cruise equipped one.
Is there anything else to adding cruise? I am looking at a 00 C3500 HD 6.5 with new IP, pmd relocation, and new NV4500 and clutch. It is a base model with out cruise...
