Mine isn't wrecked (Yet), but I'm going hunting tomorrow morning (last day of archery)....still a chance Did you do the body work your self? Looks first class. Mine is the Jimmy version (same vehicle as the Chevy). My 4.2 6L was a little hard on gas till I got to about 35K miles now I get 21+ on the road doing 70 mph. Beautiful SUV BEAR |

Most of the body work was just replacing the damaged parts so I did
that. Had a shop cut the frame off from the radiator forward and weld
in a new one. I then put everything together and it went back to the
shop for paint. I ain't that good.
 It's got 40K on it and I get about 20mpg driving 70-75. huntin1 |

Someone told me that engine was very hardmetal and needed a longer break-in to get everything (rings) seated and increased milage. Guess they were right. Front brake rotors wear outrageously, I need new ones now and trying to find a brand/model as an upgrade. Saw some Monroe ceramic ones I might try. BEAR |

Yeah I've heard that too, while I was waiting for parts to arrive I replaced all the brake pads and had the rotors turned. Did not go with the ceramic pads though. I will if I don't get good wear out of these. huntin1 |
