i have had an 03 z71, the 1/2 ton 4x4 for about a year and have been pretty happy with the power and braking to this point. been towing my 911 on trailer and found it to be very stable and good at the tow duty.

there have been a few things that have pissed me off, bad design stuff. example, i went to change tranny fluid and filter, no big deal right? YES, the bracket that held the linkage for the shift mechanism kept the pan from dropping down and off. i though it would come off but the bolt were way out of reach. i ended up having to bend the linkage bracket to get it dropped, and bend it back after filter install.

another thing,, the 03 and newer had more than just a few minor changes. i don't know what they are but it has required haynes and chilton to do a whole new repair manual on them. they are now up to the 02 model, and the 03+ has not come out yet, i am still looking for one.
