Slow turning over 6.5 GM Diesel

Same here.

Unfortunately for us here in the lovely state of NY, they use road salt and lots of it because of the idiots who refuse to learn how to drive in winter. By the time most trucks are 10 years old, they're rotten beyond repair.

Oh don't say that, Washington State has just started using salt in addition to some kind of chemical de icer that is very sticky and pits aluminum terribly, even before it snows. My 19 year old daughter drove our 98 3/4 ton Suburban to Fairbanks this summer and is using it for her last two years of engineering school. Wonder how it will make out with all the salt up there.

Any time I see a well maintained C/K 88-00, it's a joy.

That truck looks so nice.

I wish I kept my 99 Tahoe, it was so simple to work on it.

I remember feeling like the luckiest guy in the world, I had a 1998 2500 Suburban and our 1996 2500 Silverado pickup in my garage, paid cash for both, bought each one when they were used after 3 year leashes were up from the leasing company. Gave the pickup to my son and the Burb to my daughter, but I still have a hand in their maintenance and upkeep. And I think I liked the looks of them too. Love my newer Duramax crew cab, but the cab feels smaller, the windshield is a lot lower, and the seats really hem you in with the console that comes from the dash to the arm rest. Hard to spread your legs in the new ones.
