$15,000 for a non a/c cab, and turn-key trucks starting at $55,000 I guess if a new Chev Crew can easily break $50K, it's in line Beautiful conversion

There were hundreds of thousands of solid front axle Subs made, all the way through 1991. I owned a 1987 and loved it. That 72 is very, very cool

What do you know about the new 2014 GM trucks? Have you ever seen one in real life? Sat in one? Drove one? If not, that's all the info I need to discredit you

So how would you suggest shopping for a battery then? Asking the 16 year old parts guy at your local auto parts store (CARQUEST, AutoZone, NAPA, Pep Boys, et al)? Will he be able to answer ANY of those specs about plate construction or lead/acid refinement? No way. He'll tell you about...

Tell me then: What makes one battery better than another? What would YOU look for in materials, chemistry, etc? Warranty is simply paying for assurance, not a sign that it is actually "better"

Here's another one: 2014 GMC 1500 4x4 minimum ground clearance: 8.9" 2013 Ford F250 4x4 minimum ground clearance: 8.2"

The new GMC 1/2 ton "DOUBLE CAB" (no longer called an extended cab) has real forward hinge doors like a small crew cab where the F250 has the smaller suicide doors. The GMC Double Cab would have a more F/R headroom and legroom (over 4" more front / 3" rear), but less shoulder/hip room than the...

No, GM did that stupid thing they do where both bodystyles were available the same model year, 2007, and they called the old one 'Classic'. Both 1/2 tons and Heavy Duty models in 2007. The big difference mechanically was the Classics still used the non-regen LB7 where the 'new' 2007 LMM complied...

You're not able to fit a Crew Cab 6.5ft box in either the Ford or the GM? You'd have to do the 5.5ft box on the GM Crew?

I know for sure they made them through the 2006 model year, and I *think* they made the 2007 CLASSIC bodystyle LBZ with the ZF6 manual, but they did NOT make the 2007-up new body style (LMM) with a stick

To be fair, the Tundra has 4.30 gearing where the GM's had 3.42 (the deepest gear GM now offers with the 5.3L) The Ram had 3.55 and the Ford 3.73, for comparison Performance and towing would be skewed by gearing as well Take it all with a grain of salt

I *do* know Powerstrokes, I've owned a couple of them One 900+ CCA battery is not terribly different than another Please note that I specified "that meet the spec".....re-read my post Buying a fancy brand, more expensive brand, or from a more expensive retailer will not always ensure you bought...

The market doesn't agree with you. Have you priced a US Defender lately?

It's not popular advice, but batteries are batteries. There are many more items on the truck that will take more consideration and diligence. Buy the cheapest batteries that meet the spec, and save your money for other repairs or upgrades where it matters more.

In my opinion, and it's just MY opinion, if someone is considering the three you mentioned (LC 200, G550, RR) for real overlanding over the long term, the G will be quintessential 20 years on. The RR and LC will be relatively overlooked compared to other LR/RR and LCs through history. The G is...

Hard to tell what brand from that photo, but there were dozens and dozens of RV manufacturers in that era that made similar units. It's just a Class-C RV, nothing atypical. They are everywhere in the states.

I'm not sure the GMC took a bitter pill here. In the "Judges Impressions" the GMC fared very well. . The other interesting test was fuel economy where GMC shined, especially towing. . . . Seriously, the Ford EcoBoost got only 10.9mpg towing? And the small block V8 GMC got 12.5-12.6?....and...

Both of my 8.1 Subs had Autoride. An option on any 00-up Sub, 1/2 ton or 3/4, coils or leafs, 2wd/4wd, any motor.

Well? How did it go?

GM never made a one ton Sub, or a big-block with a solid front axle 4x4, or a removable rear roof on a Sub. That and some people just prefer Fords
