Re: Who would have thought my new DD would have over 200,000 miles

Cracked dash covers can be a pain in the neck to find a replacement for.
Door panels can be fixed if someone damaged your door pulls or switch panels. There's a guy that goes by the handle Vehicor on youtube that shot a video of repairing broken GMT800 door pulls with sheet metal.

Cloth, vinyl, or leather replacement covers are fairly easy to install. You get what you pay for in seat upholstry.

The butt foam on the LH seat can be replaced with a piece that will hold up much better than the original. The Seat Shop calls it Durofoam.

I am in process of getting the Driver bottom seat foam replaced.

Re: Who would have thought my new DD would have over 200,000 miles

good luck with your new truck, I like it!

my '02 gmc was the dealer burnout demo model, I got it with about 80 miles on it..

about 195k on the clock now no complaints.. even with some major repairs I think I'm still ahead going on 16 years without a car payment

still looks decent for a driver but I ain't really picky anyway, kind of attached to it now

couple of years ago next to my '12 gmc company truck, got close to 50k on it now



definitely earned its keep



2200lbs







and loves to tow!

Re: Who would have thought my new DD would have over 200,000 miles

My current daily driver is a 98 F150 with 312k miles that I paid $200 for with a blown rearend. Put a used rearend in it and been driving it since. Ive done regular maintenance on it and just did intake gaskets on it. Runs great but gutless. Trying to upgrade to a 2000 GMC 1500 2wd with a 5.3/4l60e and 164k from a friend.
