Hi all from Phoenix, AZ,

I bought my '02 Silverado 2500HD in Nov 2006. Had 80K and now just shy of 98K miles. Completely stock.

Have had a few hiccups - a $500 major service when I first got the truck, replaced the water pump about two months ago to the tune of $1100.

Just put on new tires - went with Yokohama HT-S 235/85R16s. Really like the new tires better than the Michelin 265/75R16s that the previous owner had. They fill the wheel wells nicely but I think they steer better. Probably my imagination...

Thanks for the reply and welcome. I haven't changed the computer for the different tire size, but I think they are pretty close in diameter to the 265/75R16s they replaced. I'm pretty sure the previous owner changed it for the larger-than-stock tires he put on to replace the factory rubber.
