Re: Too Old, Too New, Just Right...

The GMT400s are lookin' real simple to me these days. When they came out I considered them too new for me to work on. Now I see them as barely more modern to work on, and I do. The best part is they are as modern as a vehicle needs to be today. You have aerodynamics (better than new IMO), overdrive, fuel injection, and even though a modern design I now see them as the transition into modern. GM did a great job of creating a totally new truck (that they did a heap of homework to create), they have resemblance to the prior trucks. Especially the base/single headlight trucks. I have been daily driving this '95 K2500 Suburban for 7 years now/100,000 miles with barely any work needed. Not bad for $2,500.

I bought a '92 K3500 new and drove it 22 years/325k miles with same excellent service. I also had a '95 K3500 a while during that ownership. That was in an accident. '95 is the newest truck I have owned.
