Y'all do know that WHITE adds 1,000 more HP and immeasurable torque (kinda like a Z71 sticker or RAM tow mirrors!
)
How y'all are this morning? Hope the rain stays away around here today, I need to clean up the "pigmentally challenged" beast!

Z71 sticker is just Chebbies version of the FX4 sticker.. Both are pretty much worthless... Athough, to Chebbies credit, they did choose Bilstein shocks over the worthless OEM Ranchos..

You can't tell the Z71 fans that though.
When I was in High school they were all the rage. I looked up what the heck a z71 thing was.. and it turns out it was just different shocks and some skid plates.
Actual Conversation I had in high school:
Me: Did you know that the Z71 thing is just shocks and a skid plate?
Z71 guy: No it's not. It's a Z71..
Me: It's a regular Chevy truck with different shocks and skidplate.
Z71 guy: No!, it's a Z71, you don't know what you are talking about!
Me: So what's the difference between your "Z71" and a regular 4WD chevy?
Z71 guy: It's a Z71!
Me: sighs

In retrospect - it was not a great truck, but it wasn't a bad truck other than eating fuel pumps like a teenager eats popcorn at the theater..

My brother (the idgit) bought a brand new Z71 in 1994, still had a paper tag and brought it to a 4x4 custom shop and had all the suspension ripped out, lifted the truck and had a Dana straight axle fitted upfront and new rear gears.......back then he had more money than sense, now he has equal amounts of both, which is to say his intelligence didn't rise, his money to a plunge.
But, it was a bad azz truck though.....
