another Chevy truck

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

It is a 95 with a 6.5 liter turbo diesel, standard tranny. It won't just pull stumps, it'll pull the whole tree down, roots and all.

Diesel Torque, FTW!!! My dad has an 05 2500HD with the Duramax, i know it's apples to oranges, but that thing has torque everywhere!!!

This is the first diesel I have ever owned and was surprised by the tremendous low end torque, but also surprised about how quick it is on the throttle, even more so that it goes from a standstill to 85 as quick as it does. The truck as well as my Bonneville, and the lawnmower are being run on Shell Rotella oil. Everything that I have ever owned has been run on Rotella including my since long departed Chevette. More than once I have started off in 3rd gear in the truck and it never complained one bit. I paid $4,000 for it with 136,000 miles on the odometer, it had just been retired after 10 years service with a nursery who took extreme care of it and because of it having been so well taken care of, I still sank another $4,000+ into it. I should think it will last a 20 more good years. Thanx
