I still love my truck.
2002 GMC 2500HD.... Bought it with 250 miles on it. And now it has 142,000. I feel no need to "upgrade".

Ok, I'm in. I ordered my truck from Flint in OCT 2002, took delivery
in NOV 2002. The Fleet sales manager really helped me put together my
package. Diesel was about $4k more at the time, and 4x4 was another $2500 (IRC).
I distinctly remember him recommending the 4.1 and the Allison, as well as powered towing mirrors.
Lately, she has started to groan a bit... most notably the day after
towing. Does still have amazing throttle response. I was one of the lucky ones
that "piston slap" skipped. My oil use seems reasonable. And,
with gas prices what they are, I do not complain about MPG anymore.
So, at 14 years... I love this truck.
This week will recharge the K&N, clean the throttle body and MAF sensor.
Then I think it is about time to visit the Allison folks for another flush/check-up.
Got caught up in a Haboob (desert duststorm ) at the start last tow season.(while towing).
No fun. So, I'm thinking, filter and flush is past due.
Hope I make 20.
