Ahhh, I was born here in '90! Loved it here, but its time to move on!! Plus, I want a house with lots of land. Can't get that here unless your bill gates.

 

Move to PA!

 

Shit, I dont think my lady wants to. Plus i have to stay somewhere relatively local to the job market. So major tech spots.

 

Oregon!

 

Yea, Oregon, Washington, Colorado is where we are thinking. I also want a place that has alot more off road trails for my truck!!

 

I just moved to Oregon myself. Had to leave Hawai’i they were taxing and regulating everything.

 

What part of oregon?

 

Sandy. It’s close to north hood, south of portland. Not maltnomah county

 

@prplefrutlup

Take Jeremy’s word for it; You have to get a permit to modify your vehicle in Hawaii!

 

Ohh nice!! Yea, pacifc northwest is where I want to go!!

 

Just don’t bring the California policies with you. Everyone I ran into Oregon tells me the same thing lol

 

California policies? Im not sure what that even means.

 

@ColoradoTJ

Is your GMC truck a short bed or a long bed? I know you told me, but I forgot...

@Nunya Bizness, have you seen my thread before?

Okay, so my truck needs a new serpentine belt and will also be getting the pulley and tensioners replaced. My trusted mechanic Pete will be doing the job, I will be watching him do it, and I am hoping I will be able to do the job myself next time; The total will come to about $400, which in my opinion is not that bad. My truck has almost 109K miles and the engine runs flawlessly, so I'm not worried here; Also, I refuse to do business with the stealership anymore!

 

Yeah its not a difficult job, probably a pretty fair price for everything, that should take care of that squeak.

 

And the rear brake squeak seems to be diminishing!

 

Maybe the shoes just need to bed into place and it will go away for good.

 

Also, I've photographed a lot of Chevy and GMC trucks over the last decade or so...

The 1999-2002 Silverados have 4-wheel disc brakes; 2003-2007 ½-ton models have rear drum. 2007-2013 ½-ton models also have rear drum! Why the downgrade?!?!

 

Its hard telling, maybe the axle housing was different and was set up for drums but that is just a wild guess. The Ex GF's son is looking at a 98 Silverado Duramax to try to haul that camper with, I told him to get a smaller camper instead of messing with another truck.

 

He should just torch that camper...
