Hello All, We've been off on a weird life journey the last few years... but that's done. So. Same truck. 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500. About 400k miles now... it doesn't owe us anything. We did get it a new transmission though. Three problems.1. Int...

Just read a few articles about "Chevy Shake". Apparently two 8 speed transmissions and aluminum drive shafts have been ID'd in a class action as the issue. Test drove a really nice truck recently and that thing just about shook my teeth loose. So....

Well folks....this has been quite a conversation! I appreciate everyone's perspective. We do plan to keep the old truck...certainly not bragging about the high miles. It's just like a comfy pair of jeans and DH says he'll drive it to the golf cour...
