My First Post: joined the Chevy Forum, here I am!
 
Hello world!
I'm brand new to these Chevy forums - thought I'd join the 21st century for a change, and continue the fun with my new truck online. For what it's worth, I am an anachronistic mid-50's guy with his first brand new GM product EVER.
My ride is a 2017 2500HD Silverado Doublecab longbed, plain Jane white worktruck - when I was younger, they called this model the WT. As opposed to the LT or Z-71. Love the new truck, white with absolutely nothing special - other than it's a snowplow prep package truck - so it has the big amp alternator and is pre-wired for rooftop lighting etc.

My wife and I got this truck to replace a "scandal" 2010 VW Golf TDI which I used as a daily driver.

This ride is about to become our bug-out vehicle, as we are having a 4 Wheel Camper pop-up Grandby camper being built so we will be camp-ready at all times!

More as I have time - when my dawgz aren't barking for my attention!

Welcome. Do you have the 6 liter gas engine or the diesel?

Thanks fore reading my intro post!

The truck is a very plain 6.0 liter gas-powered model. I have had years of diesels in Ford/Chevy trucks as well as VW cars, but for this application (truck camper) my wife and I wanted gas for a number of reasons. We are happy with it.

Congradulations. That engine is still a Gen IV engine. Super reliable and not encumbered by the AFM fuel cutoff. ie: not overly fancy.
