Nice! I used one when I moved the safe from my late Mom's house into my storage unit. Had the same problem with getting it high enough but after re-configuring the top fastener, I barely got it to go. Took the door off first to lighten things a bit.....

I bought my '02 Silverado in '05 w/90K miles on it. It now has approx. 244K miles. Vortec 4.6L. I was worried about having to replace my engine once it reach 150K miles, but then I learned that these engines are not like the engines "we grew up with"!
She still runs great - hardly any oil usage. My mechanic said it's the most smooth running and quiet GM engine he has ever heard.
I have always been very diligent about oil & filter changes. I change my oil,whenever it starts to get dark looking. I don't go by mileage. And believe it or not - I always use Fram oil filters.
