Faults:

The third door handle broke off at 91500 miles and was replaced by dealer at no cost to me.

The lumbar lever and tilt lever on the seat broke off at 100000 miles.

A set of new tires.

The U Joints went out at 112000 miles.

The parking brake no longer engages at 115000 miles.

General Comments:

Great truck.

Long Lasting, Dependable.

30+ miles to the gallon.

Ice cold a/c and hot heat.

Faults:

Since buying the truck I have, had to replace anything mechanically. I was rear-ended twice which cost a lot of money for what was fixed.

General Comments:

So far so good for the little truck. It started very well in the freezing Wisconsin winters.

For a two wheel-drive truck, I think it handles very well with 200 LBS. in the bed.

Having a regular cab does get crowed and cluttered very easily. I would go to a extended cab if I were to buy a new one.

The 2.2L 4 cylinder suprises me a lot. It isn't a corvette or anything, but I think that it gets where it needs to go pretty well. It's a highway cruiser.

The venting system works very well, heats up very fast in the winter.

Faults:

L460E auto trans shifts very hard and sometimes holds gears way too long.

Also takes a long time to "spool up" on take-off.

Trans pukes lots of oil out the overflow tube.

Exhaust system rattles badly.

Numerous, unidentifiable driveline noises.

Apparent engine oil seepage, but engine never uses any oil.

Windshield wiper control module (NOT switch) gave problems since purchase, including wipers staying on after being turned off, and failed around 80,000 miles. Replaced by dealer.

Center console/armrest caved in.

General Comments:

Love the ride and handling.

Great visibility, both out the glass and from the mirrors.

Freezing cold air and burning hot heat.

2.2L four is grossly underpowered, hasn't got much torque throughout RPM range, but gets the job done with around 23+ MPG.

Auto trans is by far the worst transmission of any vehicle I've ever driven. It is why I will trade the truck in as soon as it is paid off.

It hasn't been a bad truck but the transmission and many incurable, irritating noises make me want to get another vehicle.

Faults:

Overall, this little truck has proved very reliable, but at the cost of quite a few repairs.

Right after I bought the truck used in 2001, the rear differential started leaking so I replaced the seal.

At around 42,000 miles, my water-pump failed so I replaced it.

At 45,500 miles, the blinkers mysteriously stopped functioning. They now function intermittently.

At 46,000 miles, I had a transmission shop check out the slack that I discovered in my drive line. The technicians said it was common in Chevrolet's and not to worry.

At 50,250 miles, the driver's side idler arm broke. I had this replaced at Goodyear.

At about 60,000 miles, I had to replace my wiper motor.

At 67,000 miles, I had to replace both seat recliner mechanisms because they locked up, and also replaced the stock stereo because it failed to play even a self-cleaning tape.

General Comments:

I have been extremely proactive with fluid changes and parts repairs. I bought the service manuals as soon as I noticed that this was a high maintenance vehicle.

This is a good truck for anyone who likes to spend some money to fix things once in a while.
