thinking of buying '05 crewcab
My wife and I are looking at a '05 crewcab 1500. Anything i should look for problem wise? I have see the posts about the cluster issues, anything else? If we get this we will be getting ride of the Tahoe and her Honda. Trans is going out in the Honda and I really don't want to deal with it! Thanks in advance!

I have a 06 GMC CC and love it. Just over 4000 miles on it now so now problems other than a defective wiper motor switch.

I have a 06 also, 2300 miles with no problems yet, only thing I dont like is the 3.42 gear ratio, doesnt fell as powerful as my old truck with 3.73

I have an 05 2wd CC. I had to have the front brakes turned at 6k miles because the rotors were warped and had 1/4" wide grooves in them. I am at about 10k now and they need to be turned again.
I have a wonderful thumping sound coming from the steering culumn. I am not sure if it's the steering shaft slip joint that GM refuses to fix, or the uppper part of the shat that inside the cab. What ever you do, don't get the 3.42 gears. This thing is slower than a squished turd once I put the 22's on it...:( |

I like your Gibbs wheels. You have any of the other accessories that went with that package? |
Re: thinking of buying '05 crewcab
I have an 06 with 3.73's and I love it. The only thing I don't like is the payment. It will probably get sold soon. If I didn't have to make a monthly payment you would never be able to pry the keys from my hands.

Re: thinking of buying '05 crewcab
Thanks for all the input guys! I think my wife wants a newer Tahoe, suits up better anyway. She wanted the 3rd row seat when i got the 98 but couldn't afford the new bodystyle at the time. Ah well I will keep mine until a good deal comes through the dealership that i can't refuse.

i've got an 05 crew cab Z71 with every option out there and love it.as far as performance,i don't think they were designed to be as$haulers.it's the most comfortable "truck" i've ever owned.qoute on truck it's really a tahoe with a little bed.to me half tons are pickups.you need to get into 3/4 and up to be called a truck.

Re: thinking of buying '05 crewcab
If you do get one, get the front buckets. There is a night and day difference in the 40/20/40 bench and the buckets. It also usually means Bose, too.

Re: thinking of buying '05 crewcab
I have the 40/20/40 and my dad has the buckets. Our drivers and passengers seats are the same. I prefer my 40/20/40's over his buckets. I love having that center seat to prop the guns against while we are hunting. They are nice when the wife wants to get close too ;)

Re: thinking of buying '05 crewcab
I searched specifically for a truck with the front bench. I haul my supplies for work in the bed and back seat. When I pick up my daughter from school she usually has a friend that needs a ride home. I would have to re-arrange everything is I had buckets. All I have to do now is flip the console up and we all fit...:)

Re: thinking of buying '05 crewcab
Steering thump is easily fixed with the new tsb of "stroking the shaft up and down. Same thing occurs in the Tahoe. My wife just got an '05 Tahoe and is happy with it. I haven't had any issues with brakes on my Z71. Did a back check on warranty service and nothing.

Also where did you get it from? |
Re: thinking of buying '05 crewcab
I nabbed it off eBay, it is definately easier this way, and if you're patient it can be cheaper, just wait until you find a good deal. I'll throw some pics up in a couple of weeks when I get done.

I know the 3.42's make it slower, but I think the Dodge would blow away GM trucks with 3.73's as well. GM Missed the target with the power band on the 5.3 in a truck. It's a slow turd.....:( |
Re: thinking of buying '05 crewcab
N2TRUX that thumping sound should be ur intermediate shaft i just replaced mine about a week ago under warrranty
