I have a 2001 Chevy 1500 ECSB, 4x4 with the Z-71 package..

Question is...

My truck is a LS truck,,

But, the truck has a strange combo of parts... Like, vinyl floors, power windows, power mirrors, manual seats, fog lights,, down to chrome license plate lights..

Also, it has a manual transfer case,, not the electric.. Are those transfer cases structually as strong as eachother?? Is one stronger than the other??

Any ideas?

 

you can PM me your VIN number and I can get you a complete options list straight from GM, I'm a service tech at a dealership.
I personally prefer the manual shift transfer cases as far as durability, no electronic motors to wear out, but as far as structural differences...little to none.

 

vinyl floors is the only thing that seems unusual to me. it could have been an option delete. as for the 4wd, i would think the manual is better. i believe you have to lubricate the suspension more on the button model. and with manual, you know its always there.
