      Im not at all a chevy guy but i will admit they hold up and are beasts at just about anything u throw at them. What i dont like is how the government had to help them and their square wheel wells and they are ugly. The running gear is awesome tho. I practice rallying a WT SILVERADO so when i finish my RHD prerunner, ill have a better idea of it. Great video. There use to be an AWD twin turbo chevy truck that was a beast on the streets. Walked alot of ppl like dogs. Chevys are the equivalent to Toyota. They are cheap, last forever, parts are abundant, and ugly as heck but if it get the job done who cares about looks. Lol.

    High dollar builds getting turned out by an AWD full size with a blower. That is poetic. Turn One Steering will get your power steering woes handled too. They have kits for trucks to covert the old Saginaw Type I pump to one of their HP2 Type II pumps. I went from an overheated system after every auto-x run to back-to-back-to-back runs with no issue (and no cooler)

    Heck yeah. Now for some 2007+ front brakes (larger) and some 06 and older rear discs ( bigger than the 07 and up) and a hydraboost for better stopping. Throw on the larger front 1 ton sway bar (36.2 mm vs 34) and the rear and you have body roll control and stopping power you can get parts for at any parts store if necessary, instead of special order.
