The Burb’s twin cruised next to each other for a while this afternoon
Fella waved as he passed
Wish I could have asked him about his lift/tire and wheel combo for the future, liked the stance for the most part

Umm...That's like a one or two-year vehicle and actually a GMT400...
If you read my other posts, you will realize my dislike for that body series (and I can share those details, if you like). They are't "bad" in the grand scheme of things, they just don't compare to the GMT800. I came from driving a 99 GMT800 for many years, then bought a 00 GMT400, and I can tell you that's definitely a downgrade overall. I know the old guys love their OBS (and I get that) will hate me, but it is what it is...

Yea recognize it’s the 400, and not many years of production. Good insight; had a feeling they wouldn’t compare to the 800! The hunt is exciting for sure

I can see why you would like the GMT800 over the GMT400 after owning a couple. They are a much cleaner and simpler build with more power and comfort. For me, there is something about the OBS that draws me, I love the platform. As for the GMT400 escalade, don't touch it! Low production, only 2 years, cant get any parts for the caddy/denali specific items.

Did you find yourself a clean truck? @FW_Z71Burb
How does this look to you? https://www.facebook.com/share/17yyzpAA33/

Wow that’s a nice one. Like that color too.
I’m likely getting an old beater car. Some unexpected home repairs has shrunken my new ride budget. All good I’ll get another one some day

Yeah, that truck is bare bones but still great...
Does it not meet your budget for the "beater car?" Buy it and do a V8 swap down the road...

Gonna be a tough sell for another full size vehicle. We technically don’t need another. Probably looking at a sedan or wagon / hatchback

Got some new wheels today - it ain’t a GMT800 but it’s a good family hauler (4 boys at home) and short commuter

2 owners (both military now retired)
Back to Burb rear main seal planning..
what other things should I hit while mechanic is doing the rear main seal?
Trans mount?
Oil pan?
Engine mounts?

Nice!
We own a 2013 T&C minivan. I remember when I just bought it for my wife back in 2015, I thought "no way would I drive a minivan!" Well, I guess I was too young then, because I don't mind driving now, lol. I really like the sliding doors getting in and out with the kids in standard parking spaces and the low step in height. We now even own a full sized 12 passenger Express van [monkey covering eye emoji] as a family hauler.
I would also recommend getting the torque converter lockup o ring replaced on the transmission. Maybe the transmission front pump seal too? Yes, engine oil pan too. Engine/transmission mounts, only if they are bad, otherwise leave them.

If doing the oil pan do the oil pump pickup o-ring, and with transmission out the oil pressure sender.
