I happened to be stopping in the Chev stealer ship today to drop a friend off to pick his new z06 up and looked at the new silverado. Damn it is nice! I liked it so much I ordered one in from a dealer in ATL. I pick that bia up on Thursday. I guess I should have test drove it but they offered me more than I owe on the Tahoe and gave me 0% for 5yrs so I really didn't care what it drove like. So has anyone driven one? Did you like it? Also help me find a way to run Sirius off the factory XM head unit. please!

Reid, you're making too much money, you nigger.

9/10/2007 7:56:32 PM

naw nigger cant ever have enough of the loot. 0% financing ftw negro. did i mention no kids yet so random shit is still on. another year and no more fun shit, diapers and kid stuff...

9/10/2007 8:01:20 PM

You being a daddy. Satan must be in the market for a new snowblower...hahahahaha

9/10/2007 8:08:48 PM

don't worry, it'll be just as boring and gay as any other silverado.

1. buy sirius tuner w/ fm modulator

2. tune radio to specified frequency

3. ...

4. profit!

9/10/2007 9:44:55 PM

^Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of getting digital radio?

9/10/2007 10:00:03 PM

You have obviously not met Reid. A regular rocket scientist, he is...

9/10/2007 10:22:39 PM

^^ not really. You'd lose surround capabilities but correct me if i'm wrong but only HD radio does surround sound. Even still it would be stereo so L/R would be fine you'd just lose F/R. You lose some quality going digital/analog/digital/analog but you more than likely wouldn't be able to tell.

9/10/2007 11:53:27 PM

^this guy can get you some tires i think.

9/10/2007 11:54:17 PM

^tis trew. I'll hook him up with some BFG AT's. Or LTX's if he wears a vagina.

9/11/2007 12:12:53 AM

i dont know, wearing a vagina sounds pretty good. suppose it depends on where you wear it.

9/11/2007 12:23:49 AM

bfg at's aren't any better than ltx's in the wearing a vagina department.

9/11/2007 12:28:20 AM

hey hey hey with the killing on the a/t's

9/11/2007 12:30:23 AM

people who have to have a seperate set of "street tires" fall into this category as well.

9/11/2007 12:34:15 AM

im not trying to troll but 3 years from now you will be paying the intrest in oil. about 2 quarts between oil changes
i love the body style though

9/11/2007 1:56:44 AM

^^^^

Not saying at's are the most agressive tire in the world but come on, LTX's are by far a more street geared tire. You see people wheeling at's... not so many LTX's out on the trails.

On a slightly related note, have you seen the MT KM2's? I like them.

Are you going to put on "true duals" and one of those American flag back windows? Cause that would make it pretty bad ass mayn.

9/11/2007 3:08:16 PM

Damn I always liked my ltx's........guess I have a vag now damnit

9/11/2007 3:25:39 PM

^^^ will it work on an 07? i have read it wont?

No idea, i'd give crutchfield a call and see. It says '03+ but you know how that can go.

So true. I guess that's where 90 percent of the stigma of owning one of these trucks comes from.

I have an 02 Z71 model, sans stickers. It's a good truck, quiet and comfortable.

9/12/2007 10:14:18 AM

if some one sent me an obx sticker i would rock it for a goof. i cant say i have ever been there though, but isn't that the protocol for having one anyway? ivan do you have an extra one from your used car lot? :flipoff2:

9/12/2007 10:30:48 AM

ha... actually, i think i do have a SOBX (southern outer banks) sticker laying around in a drawer somewhere. my parents and brother both own property there though, so i guess i'm legal.

9/12/2007 11:54:26 AM

Just go to Smithfields and get one that says BBQ.

9/12/2007 12:03:25 PM

BOJ

9/12/2007 1:51:07 PM

picked it up today. i am pretty damn surprised how well it rides. the 5.3 seems to be a bit more ballsy then the 5.3 in the tahoe. could be 4.10 gears and not as much weight also. so an generally impressed. black ext and black leather is gonna make this bitch hot. i noticed today how nice remote start is for cooling it off before you get in, i do not know how my fat ass lived without it until now....

9/13/2007 8:55:35 PM

Pics? I considered the 2007 6.0L 1500 Sierra...but can't sacrifice the cargo space...so now the interest is in the 2007 Tahoe...or perhaps a 3/4 ton 2007 Suburban. If only the 6.0/6.1/6.2 whatever engine would be available in the Tahoe...

9/14/2007 9:59:02 PM

if i was in the market for a 1/2 ton, i'd be waiting until the diesels come out. gm and ford are expected to have them around MY 2009.

9/14/2007 10:07:53 PM

i just wish gm would put the duramax into the 3/4 ton suburbans... i'd own one yesterday...

9/14/2007 10:38:27 PM

there was a company making them. can't recall the name.

9/14/2007 10:59:58 PM

i have head 09 the suburban will get a duramax. There is a company in colorado who is putting duramax's in tahoes for an extra 30k. as soon as the duramax suburban comes out this silverado will hit the road.

9/15/2007 8:48:31 AM

damn, extra 30k for a duramax?

9/15/2007 10:19:27 AM

^^ would this still be a 1/2 ton or are they doing the full upfit to a 3/4 ton tahoe... now that would be awesome

9/15/2007 10:46:42 AM

they change the front and rear suspensions. they also do the motor swap, so yes it is a 3/4 ton tahoe.

9/17/2007 7:01:24 PM

saw that too.... interesting looking, but i'm the kind of guy that likes it better from the factory i guess. Reading around they're saying they can't get the 6.6 into the new suburbans without doing some lifting/refitting of the transmission hump area. and they don't want to do that because of the "soccer moms", well i don't know many soccer moms buying 3/4 ton suburbans. None the less.... we can always dream

9/18/2007 8:52:47 PM

i bought mine new in 04, and I love it- it took me a little getting used to the lighter tail end coming around turns, but other than that it was great

9/18/2007 10:50:39 PM

^the stock tires are unsafe at any speed when wet. get some michelins on there
