Hey,
Just saying Hi. Bought a 2004 Z71 a few weeks back, so I figured I would start doing some research. I hope to do some learning, and help if possible. Seems like a real good site. I currently own-
93 S10 V8
98 Monte Carlo 3.8
03 Buick Rendezvous (Wife's)
04 Chevy Silverado Z71 Ext Cab
Thanks,
Mike
Chicago
