There is a reason that Chevy uses the slogan "Like a Rock"

I've heard of a few have leaking intake manifolds before. lol the truck has a little rust on the rocker panel, PS, but not too bad. I guess we'll find out what will be wrong with it down the road. Thanks guys.

I briefly had a '98 K1500 4x4 Extended Cab, it was a great truck. Great highway mileage, good mountain mileage, 4x4 worked great, good power, more power then the ole 360......

(Probably helps some that the top end was completely rebuilt shortly before I got it, loose bolt, dealer rebuilt the whole top end for a loose bolt)

Some pics of new work truck, they're are all pretty much new but we're getting brand new ones either end of this year or beginning of next year. I think they already have the trucks but it takes some time to get the boxes and all the equipment installed....

Actually Wh1t3NuKle is partially correct, we won the contract from Transurban to patrol the new I95 Express Lanes, Transurban won the contract from VDOT, so VDOT is the client. But directly I work for Serco.

6.7L Powerstrokes, 4x4, pretty nice rigs.

Our new trucks will be equipped with Stars Radio, what the State Patrol uses, so we'll get to talk and listen to all the crap over the radio....
