The only thing that went wrong was the U-joints, and that was from break torquing the truck to much.
This truck is amazing, I have more power than I ever expected from this kind of truck. It is a regular cab step side Z71. If you want more power than you will ever need, just add a flowmaster delta flow 40 and a K&N airfilter. I can smoke any of my friends trucks with V-8's. This truck is awesome off road, I haven't got stuck once, I have pushed this truck really hard and it wants more every time. I highly recommend this type of truck if you want more power than you need and want a very capable off road vehicle.
I also have a 97 Z71, and recently I took in 4 wheeling. I was impressed with its capability, as it is completely stock, the 5.7L has tons of power, and its great for mud puddles. I was just wondering what depth of water you have pushed yours through? and my engine compartment got VERY dirty, and was just wondering if yours did the same. thanks.
I have had water up to my windsheild before and it got threw just fine. My engine compartment is extremely muddy, but it is a 4x4, so who cares.
