The whole thing started in Dec 2010 when I purchased my first ever 97 4x4 6.5 Suburban. That's when the problem started !
First I became obsessed by getting the Burban the very best of care;
A full maintenance - all fluids changed, new ball joints, new pads, new switches mirror, new glow plugs, new wiring for the grounds, new batteries..
So now the Burban sits nice and proud with everything working very well.. She springs to life in sub artic colds, muddles through traffic with ease and gives me a very very nice fuzzy feeling while driving this beast.
The issue is that now I am finding excuses to drive the Burb.. I take the truck for drives, pile the dogs in and go cruising. I take it to work, sitting nice and comfortable with plenty of elbow and leg room, it feels like sitting in my living room . I drive bit slower , enjoying the constant gurgle of the diesel , sipping a nice coffee, now the morning drives are very bearable.
Funny though I put my flasher to change lanes, well guess what, someone lets me in and this happens all the time with such regularity that I feel like I am alone on the highway.
Now I look forward to drive in mid week traffic, to and from work , wow my mornings are fun!!
My wife things I am off my rocker, since on weekends I spend time with my new mistress, fill up the washer fluids, get the Burban washed, take her for a drive.. My nights are consumed by lurking in this forum looking for tidbits of useful information to help my new girl. Talking to Bill who has taken a shine to what I am planning to do in terms of upgrades and budgeting for my mods.
I look forward to driving now, I like the way she handles me, carving out traffic while keeping me in relative comfort.
The question ! I am off my rocker ?? Or is this just temporary?? Will it pass ( I hope not)
