Today’s truck was submitted by Chris. His 2006 Chevy Silverado LBZ Duramax 3500HD, Allison 6-speed Automatic was purchased from Larry Fannin Chevrolet.

“I bought my truck to be used as a tow rig for hauling our horses, farm equipment, hay, etc. The truck has performed perfectly with everything that i have hauled, and i couldnt be more happy with the power of it. The initial intent of it being just a work rig didnt last long after i learned how to unleash more power out of my truck. I now also use it as my daily driver/play truck when im not towing anything.”

Performance Parts Installed:

Edge Juice with Attitude, 4″ MBRP cat-back exhaust with 5″ pollished stainless steel tip. Turbo Resonator plugged.

Exterior Accessories Installed:

Billet Grill, Cadillac style door handles, clear cab lights and 3rd break light, Recon Fire and Ice light bar, Michelin LTX A/S 265/75/R16 with 2 inch spacers, 2008 Emblems, Painted tow mirrors, front bumper, and bowtie emblem

Interior Accessories / Stereo: Leather seats(heated), Bose Stereo system

Sweet Truck Chris! We Love the color!

This truck was purchased brand new from Carr Chevy of Beaverton, OR. It is a 2007 Silverado-LT 2500HD Crew Cab, Short Bed, Classic w/ Duramax +Alison Transmission, XM Radio, Sunroof, and much much more!

“Purchased new as one of the last 2007 “Classic” Silverado 3/4 ton Duramax units on the lot.

A working diesel, not a driveway queen: I tow a 30′ Outback TT and haul 650lbs of astronomy instruments with my truck. Of the 16,000+ miles on the truck, over 12,000 have had the trailer behind.

First “road trip” for this truck and my then new Outback trailer travelled from Portland to Nora Springs, Iowa in May 2007. We encountered road-closing blizzards on the way to and from, in MAY! Roads closed in Wyoming from Rawlins to Laramie and again on the way home in Montana between Bozeman and Butte. Go figure…

The truck has been border to border in the west, but only as far east as the Mississippi River. Yes, we have driven on the Beach in Oregon.

Earlier this summer, I used the truck to uproot trees in my yard. With about 600 lbs of balast in the bed, low-range and 4WD, everything was going fine. The Silverado Duramax combination was winning all the battles. Then, the darn 40,000 lb rated chain broke. I had to double the left-overs of the chain to get the last tree out… The Silverado still won the day. Like I said, a working truck…”

Carr Chevy also installed the performance and exterior accessories on this Crew Cab trailer hauler

• AirRaid
• MBRP 5″ cat-back exhaust
• Edge Juice w/Attitude
• Billsteins
• Wrangler Silent Armor tires
• Leer hard tonneau cover with red and white LED lights + Remote Locking integration
• Bed-Slide load mgmt
• Mud Flaps
• Nurf Bars
• Rain Drip Shields
• PIAA Wipers and bulbs

Steve’s word of advice is:

“DON’T sipe your tires on a truck with this HP and torque. It will tear the rubber right off the tires. I got replacement Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires at 9,000 miles after large chunks of tread started coming off of the original siped Silent Armors. To their credit, Discount Tires stood behind the problem 100%. NO charge to me! NO problems with the replacements.”

Congratulations Steve on your beautiful towing machine!
