ya'll know the man van i had? that a lot of people told me to get rid of...lol

well, as of the 1st of the year i got to welcome a new(slightly used) vehicle to the parking lot that is known as my driveway.



she's a 2010 gmc sierra 4x4 with just over 40k on the odometer(had 35k when she came home). just in time for fuel to rise to 4.25/gal.

and yes she has active fuel management which is awesome when cruising on the highway. my last 500mile trip i averaged 30mpg on the highway.

word of advice. the stealerships are telling people to bring their vehicles in for oil changes around 8k miles. i have a couple friends who work for gm and are swearing up and down that the new gm's are having engine failure due to this.

 

Nice truck! 30mpg that is great! I'm looking to get a Diesel soon, this beast of a truck is eating to much gas while towing. I got the motorcycle for everyday driving, the Dakota is only driven once a week if anything now days.

 

nice. i got my diesel ford for towing. non turbo idi, slow as **** but will pull just about anything. the only downfall is its a 3spd auto so when im not pulling she sucks fuel on the highway. i would drive my kz550 daily but one of my jobs requires having a car because i cant haul window cleaning supplies on the back of a bike lol.

and i got the carb for my dakota just gotta mate it to the manifold and change the distributor or lock it out. next projects either going to be a different motor or sold axles. unless i get that durango which then i would be grabbing the axles/trans/transfer case and scrapping the truck.
