the Hummer thing works well though and looks "truck". Goes especially well on the white IMHO.
I'm went pimpin' this time, so chrome was the only chioce in a "street" looking wheel design...

18x8.5 Panther Juice 8. 3400# load rating. Lifetime structural and 3 years chrome warranty.

Yokohama Geolandar G-52 "street truck" tire. 285/60-18. 3086# @ 50 psi. Relatively new...getting rave reviews.

Pardon me I didn't realize I was in for gang rape. I will admitt the mileage was before i had the tires and wheels but it is true. This is at 55mph with 373 gears. plus exhaust and an intake and a tuner. factory I got the same as everyone else abround 15 mpg in town and 19 on the highway. I am glad you cleared up the Isuzu thing for me its still a Japanese company no matter where the colaboration took place. Thats like saying because toyotas are assembled in the US they are a US car. Navistar is Internantional who has buliding diesels for just as long. I guess I do have a miracle truck cuz the numbers didn't lie.

I'm not going to explain it to you again. You obviously know nothing about the corporate/technical globalization and economy.
The BLOCKS are cast here in the USA goofy...it is a GM product.

Buy the DURAMAX, I have 50,000 on my 2004 GMC 4x4 crew cab dually. It is an awsome tow truck, just went from michigan to ohio and to miami and back to mich., I love my duramax. I am on my second GMC with a duramax and allison it's a great combo.

Hell yeah it hurt you all should have had the decency to lube me up or give me a reach around.

I guess i don't know enough about global economy. if the blocks are cast in the US you can call em american. Just curious though where is the rest of it made? thats only a question don't get your panties in a bunch.

The new GM's do haul ass I am just a die hard Ford guy, givin my .02 I am appearantly the only Ford guy in these forums. LOL I did think I would have more support givin the poll that said Ford were the best tow rig in this very forum.
Thanks for playin guys
