Our Last New Truck

[JEBar]

apparently unhooking the battery did reset the Check Engine light in our 2011 Silverado 1500 mentioned above .... that truck has been traded and its NC license plate has been turned in .... our new 2026 Silverado 2500HD is parked in our driveway .... she's dirty because tomorrow (Thursday) it will be driven to the fellow who will apply a ceramic coating doesn't want the new ones he works on to be washed by any dealership .... he prefers to do it himself .... Friday morning we head to Myrtle Beach, SC and plan to return home on the following Monday .... the weather forecast is kind of iffy but we hope he will be through with our truck by the time we get back .... so far, we've driven her about 50 miles today and we are well pleased with both its ride and handling ....

this morning (Thursday) she will be taken to the fellow who will install a ceramic coat .... we will be going to Myrtle Beach on Friday and plan to pick it up when we return on Monday

Nice looking truck!! Post pics after the ceramic coat.

Did you name the truck??

Cora was the name of my last commuter car (back and forth to work). Once I retired and sold (worn out) Cora, I stopped naming my cars -- don't know why, though. Perhaps the long commutes required more of a companion??

kind words appreciated .... will most certainly post more pictures .... back in 1978 we named our Jeep J10 Geronimo .... we kept it for 24 years .... I understand that the grandkids are actively discussing names

today is Sept 7th and we are in Myrtle Beach, SC .... got a call a little while ago that the fellow doing the ceramic coating has finished it .... we hope to get home around noon tomorrow and drive over to his place to pick it up shortly thereafter
