Hello again everyone, I was searching for a GP but couldn't find anything in good conditions, GP's seem to be extinguished here in Mexico. So i took another way i've always liked, a Silverado SUV 97, it is very sharp, just have to do something with front suspension or direction don´t know yet, but I have to correct the steering all time, is hard to keep it straight, opinions would be helpful. Here´s my new baby. Regards

just get an alignment done, that should solve your problems. Thats not a bad looking truck either, nice purchase!

Hi Herc,
It is a V8 5.7 TBI, with around 80k miles in fact i was looking for a Vortec, but some silverados´i saw were crap, this one is in very good shape and the owner showed me another he has with the vortec engine, he says that in fact the gas saving is not that much, could it be? In Mexico GMC entered as the Truck division like 4 or 5 years ago, we always know about GMC but Chevrolet was the name here. Herc, what can you tell me about this truck, reliability, performance, mileage, I've read something but you have this truck for a while right? Is there this Kind of Silverado in USA, I've just find the Tahoe or the Yukon 4X4 but not this 4X2 SIlverado.

Ey Richard, I sold the Solstice to buy a Nissan Murano remember?, then I saddly got divorced and since I sold my GP and my bike (remember the suzuki intruder?) I just had this VW Jetta from work, then I got fired, It took me 9 months to find a new Job, and I started 3 weeks ago. Anyway I am a father now and my baby Mateo makes me so happy. This is Mateo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2p-TzH9L4sHerc, I'm really thinking in change those wheels, but I need to pay some stuff before that. I look into USA and I saw this z71 edition that looks great, maybe I´ll go that way.

cant say as I remember the Murano, but for some reason the Jetta seems familiar for some reason. Congrats on your son, and happy birthday to him! How old is tu nino?

my baby girl is turning 6 in less than a month, and is doing REALLY well. My lil homie is going to turn 5 in November and is doing well, but is resisting the whole potty training thing. Still. My wife seems to be done with her on-line courses and should be going to school on-campus and finishing her Paralegal degree within a year. The Army is...well...the Army. 6 years until retirement, not that I'm counting or anything LOL.
