Nice truck Mike. Only the steering wheel, throttle and brake pedals are on the wrong side. :D

I had to work on one of those mail trucks with the steering on the right. I couldn't even drive it on the lift ! :helmet:

I think I'd have trouble with the pedals. Our throttle is on the right and brake on the left. Could make things interesting. :auto-crash:

The wide pedal is the throttle and the little one the brake?

Norm the little pedal in the pic is the parking brake pedal. Throttle pedal is hidden by the steering wheel.

Thought it was a bit strange. SIL had a LH drive Chevy van some years back. I drove that ok. Though it did have a tendency to want to go on the right side of the road. I jest not.

Congrats on the new ride Mike!  

 

We’ve got a few of those 5.3/auto 4x4 packages around, they sure are nice running machines!  The closest we have to that one is an ‘11 and it loves to eat up the #6 spark plug every 10-15,000 miles.  It goes through some oil too, I suspect that cylinder.  It’s something to keep an eye on, our local oil change tech says GM suggests 1 qt of oil every 1000 miles is normal.:eusa-think:

I believe the DOD (displacement on demand) AFM (active fuel management) is the main culprit , cylinders 4&6 3&5 are the ones that shut down, here's a quick read....https://www.onallcylinders.com/2017/11/30/how-to-delete-or-disable-active-fuel-management-afm-on-gm-engines/...some people have issues others don't. I have a 2014 Silverado Z71 so far so good.

That’s a beauty Mike.  You definitely deserve a nice vehicle that you can enjoy rather than wrenching on it!  Hopefully that one will treat you well for many, many miles.  Who would’ve ever thought back in the 70’s that someday a pickup truck would be as “plush” as a car on the inside?  Talk about “having your cake and eating it too”...

 

This means you have no excuse not to come to J&C’s Plow Day IV in the fall!!!! I know that between Jim and I, we certainly would have the guest room space...:auto-layrubber:
