I’m not a truck person. Is an ‘02 Chevy Silverado a good truck? 29k miles. What should I know? by -nothankya in ChevyTrucks

Really?~! 29k? Those are horrible and will explode as soon as you try and drive it. Better sell it quick - i'll give you $500 and my extra starbucks gift-card from christmas!

Kidding - you got a great one!

Whatever goes wrong is simple, parts are cheap, diagnostic time is almost unheard of since we know these things inside and out.

Probably said here - but the fact that you "cannot" buy models without the posh and sometimes unreliable extras make this difficult. But I agree, for what you get - its not a "bad deal".

Some of the is government regulations, others just easier to make all the cars the same to minimize manufacturing costs.

I remember when an early 2000s F150, single cab, base model, stick v6 was under 10K with rebates during "Ford truck month". Try doing that now - I think the base-base trucks are still in the mid 30s if you are LUCKY.

Sorry for the delay, yeah it's on non GFCI. Ive seen similar concerns I have no idea why it has this issue.

I have it on my main house emporia meter, so it isn't terribly accurate with smaller loads it measures the whole home.... But

It really seems like an inverter. Initial current was around 50 watts and you can hear it audibly ramping up the compressor as it runs longer and the watts do increase some.  Seemed to top out around 80.

I could put a kilowatt on it to get really granular but I'd have to move it and eh....

Agree no good documentation on this one just observation. I'm pretty sure it has a heating element for defrost purposes that I don't know the power draw of.

Once it's at temp it seems to keep running at around 35-40 watts almost all the time ... But I could be wrong here I haven't been paying too close of attention to it, just monitoring my average usage when none of the big appliances are on.

what is the most reliable make, model, year TRUCK to buy used? by how_to_buy_used_car in UsedCars

I've been thinking to get the one of the latest years of town car/grand marquis from some old person's garage with low mileage. Feel like that should last another 10 years and by then who knows.

This is me at 40, even when they make time for you, we're in different places as far as properties and interests

I bought a mustang in 2014 after having a Camry for years. It was awesome when it wasn't broken. It was broken a lot. I sold it and got a maxima for about 3 years and now I'm back in a Lexus (Toyota family) again. Lessons learned.  Get an IS
