Here's the 'Junkyard Dog' as the vet says. "Thank God for duct tape," is all I can say. Those damn
collars cost $27 each! http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...nkyardDog3.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...nkyardDog1.jpg And, last year I was a good boy, so my wife got me a nice present for my birthday... Befo http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...2/OldGrill.jpg After: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...2/NewGrill.jpg I've been very pleased with the Silverado. On the highway, with no load, it gets close to 22 mpg. With the trailer, loaded for camping, it gets right around 13 mpg. That's 30% better than I was getting with the 4Runner towing the little 18' travel trailer we had. This is what it's pulling now: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...2/MNV_0003.jpg |

I think I could have bought a decent 34'er instead of this, but you don't see 'em at Bluegrass Festivals very often! |

I had the chance to drive my brother in law's Silverado 2500 HD with the diesel and Allison Duramax transmission on a very rough road to his isolated lakeside lot. He claims it drives very smoothly on the highway. |
