so0o,
had my 03 for about three years and simply could not keep up with the payments any longer. long story short i sold it for a extremly low price, and i am at the point now where i can handle a payment agian. i want a 99-06 silverado, and want to stay in the 7,000-10,00 range.... any suggestions as to things i should stay away from/ look out for??
Go for an 05+ Better brakes, better looking front end on the 06's and 07 Classic

depends what body style you like and can afford.

I personally like the 2000-2002 front end better than the 03-07...
Smoother look. But, go with what you can afford.

1998 GMC YUkon 4X4

i myself have a 2000 and love it, but in my mind 06 was the best looking year, just because of the split grill but opinions vary
2000 RCSB 4.8
-basic bolt ons but has ambition
go for e-fans man and a 5.3

i had a 99, and would recommend it any day, i got it with 80,000 miles for only 8,999. you can get higher mileage ones for way under 5,000.
If you like the 1999-2002 style, go for the 01-02 years. The only reason I suggest this is because the 2000 and previous only had the 3dr with the extended cab (if you are looking for an extended cab). I had a 2000 Z71 Silverado and it was one of two things I didn't like about it. The other was it didn't have leather seating. Other than that, it was an awesome truck. Go for the 5.3 engine if you can afford it. The only way I'd have gone for the 4.8 is if it was already in the plans to drop a 6.0/6.2 engine in there ... but JMHO. I really like my 06 Z71, but it is a bit outside of your price range (unless you find a REALLY good steal on it). I got a really good deal on my truck at $6k under book, but it is still outside of what you want to pay. Anyway, just me talkin' here.

99-02 are a good bit lighter than the later years, if weight and going real fast matters to you...
