You won't be disappointed. I have the exact truck you just bought and couldn't be happier (but I"ve only got 5500 miles on it so far ).

Steve was the turning radius affected when you added wheels/lift kit?

My truck is stock and until you mentioned it I hadn't realized it was that bad but now that I think of it is is marginal at best! A U-turn is always a 3 point turn if the road is less than 3 lanes.

You can probably get a much better deal on a Cassic (and it won't have the DPF filter) and it probably makes good sense but I just couldn't bring myself to spend $40k+ for something that looks 3-4 years old. But that's just me...

Here's a near exact clone of mine

(By the way, I am beta testing for Edge Products a Juice/Attitude on my LMM motor as we speak. I don't have it turned up past level 3 of 6 but it feels like a race car!!)

Nice truck

The new Fords have GM beat on turning radius.

I was impressed with my old 2500 Avalanche. That thing would turn VERY tight. Now, with a Ford CC Dually with the old fashioned leaf spring front end, I can only pull a U-turn in a football field.

Couldn't agree more. My 04 F 350 long bed crew cab, needs the same field!

They must have fixed that by 05'; and certainly in the 08's. But remember these trucks are 20'-8" long; it ain't no Pinto!

Well everyone I am the Fleet Manager at Anaheim Chevrolet in SoCal... If you need any help with a good deal or if you just want to make sure you are not getting Hosed by another dealer let me know... I will let you know True Invoice... Also I would recomend getting the new body... Reason being the Classic Silverado Value will start to drop alot more now that the new body is out... Have you driven both? Call me with any Questions...
