Re: Pick it up Tuesday...

Thanks, yeah the floor shift 4x4 was a must and the reason I went with the LS model. I did a lot of research when looking at the new Chevy's, which led me to the manual shift 4x4, and the 4.8. The 5.3's are problem proned with oil consumption, AFM, and lifter problems, and at only 20hp/40ftlbs more in the power dept it wasn't worth it to me. I don't even like the 6 speed, in the city my 6speed work truck is constantly shifting and hunting for gears. I take a hit in MPG on the highway with the 4 speed, but it's honestly not enough to bother me, the truck spends 80% of its time at 50-90 km/h. I'm getting about 17mpg combined, now that'll go down with the lift and tires, but I don't care.
