ron wrote thought i was going to stay out of the thread but one question and i am out. has anyone sent in a sample of valvoline or some other non syn oil and have it tested for usefull life like has been down with the syn oils i have always used valvoline and everytime i change it in the 5000 mile range it still seems like it would go a lot longer. ron well my manual says 7500 miles for an oil change so at 5000 the factory says it still has 2500 miles left in it. you can always send in a sample of your own and post the results. i would be interested to send in a sample myself for my truck. .

i like the reg cabs as hot rod trucks but the c1500 sounds bad ass the srt-10 will set you back some money too... i am thinking about buying the srt 10. my problem is i have spent 5 years working on building my 96 c1500 ext cab chevy truck. i am at the point where all i need to do is finish the motor. all it needs is a whipple super charger. but now i am thinking about the srt 10 since it has everything i want my chevy have. my question is should i sell the older truck and buy an srt. i am looking for opions about the srt. is it worth the money or should i finish the chevy. i have no preference when it comes to trucks as long as it is not a ford. i figure the super whipple would put me at about 480hp. what i have done to the chevy 18 cragar wheels with kumho tires polyurethane bushings for the whole front end ap racing brakes posi with 410 was open diff with 342 2 - 4 beltech drop new paint interior is re-done 1800 watt alpine stereo rebuilt 350 custom grill and bumper way too much time and money. -- smoove 91 gsxr 750 96 chevy c1500 and 94 suburban hated by many... confronted by none! pain is weakness leaving the body!!! its better to be judged by twelve than carried by six. www.myhooptie.com .

the srt-10 will be available as a quad cab for 05. but i think id rather have the 05 power wagon. ; bob wrote roy wrote i am thinking about buying the srt 10. my problem is i have spent 5 years working on building my 96 c1500 ext cab chevy truck. i am at the point where all i need to do is finish the motor. all it needs is a whipple super charger. but now i am thinking about the srt 10 since it has everything i want my chevy have. my question is should i sell the older truck and buy an srt. i am looking for opions about the srt. is it worth the money or should i finish the chevy. i have no preference when it comes to trucks as long as it is not a ford. i figure the super whipple would put me at about 480hp. im going to probably piss off the blind loyalty folks but heres my take on it. i looked long and hard at the srt 10. it is a looks like a truly impressive truck but it isnt really a truck. it is quick. now for the down side it will cost around 45k or they did when i was looking last april you cant tow with them you cant put more than 500lbs. in the bed. so say the dealer. warranty issues they say. they only come as a standard which can be a pia if you have to co

daily and several times on some days. i would think that it should be out by now. what could be another cause of the p0456 code should i take it to the dealers service dept. then theres an actual leak somewhere not just a loose gas cap. yes you should take it to the dealer and let them diagnose it. i assume its still under warranty .
