My buddy has an 04 Silverado that was in a rollover, he sawed off the tops of the cab and made a convertible to go ripping through the woods on. That day we rode around in it was the day I swore that I’d get my hands on a Chevy for my own, because he was beating the ever-loving sh*t out of it and it never skipped a beat.

The very best mod for a 5.3 14 and newer is a tune from Trifecta, trust me!! Awesome 👍👍

I tow big sheds with my half ton chevy 2010 and 2004. Still going.

I’m not proud to admit that I had a oil cooler gasket leaking by the oil filter and had a bunch of insane crap happening in my life and I stopped checking my oil level for a long time, almost like it was something that didn’t need to be done anymore. Obviously the first owner I bought my 2011 Chevy Silverado 5.3 Z71 must have made keeping the oil level at the correct level something he did religiously. Because my low oil level sensor doesn’t work probably because it never had to move the entire time he owned it . I had about a 173 thousand miles on my truck when while on the interstate my oil pressure went to 0 . With no extra oil in my truck anywhere and just have given my wife the debit card . I had no way to by oil. I had about 12 miles to go before reaching home. I decided to just push it all the way home doing my best to not get stopped at any red light, stop sign or in traffic. Got home and it was bone dry. Got oil and filled it up and about 75 thousand miles later still runs like a beast with absolutely 0 damage of any kind that I can find and remember it’s a AFM ENGINE
