Faults:

Same story here in the ABS part. I had the notorious noise at 39,000 miles, took my Silverado 1500 truck to the dealer, they pulled the fuse so the ABS unit didn't make the noise. The ABS part apparently has changed prices over the past year up then down now up again - now it's $851 - and an hour to install at $90 = $941. As I live in a small town I was stunned that the local "very small" Chevy dealer carried this part in stock - now I understand why - they sell lots of them. Yes, Chevy should own up to this one, it is clearly their issue.

Faults:

My Fuel Gauge will go from full to empty then back to full, and stays on empty when I fill up which is caused bye vapors that have corded the sender in the tank. I have found a way to kind of get around this, If while you are moving down the road you click it into neutral then the gauge will show the correct level, not the desirable fix, but effective.

The transmission started to slip at 98000 miles, but hasn't got any worse. I figured it was because I had really worked this truck hard, I probably pull stuff with is that should be behind a tractor, but the truck has so much more power and shows no signs of stopping.

The right rear brake pads wears off quicker then it should (about 10000-20000 miles) which I discovered to be the slave cylinder malfunction which there is a Napa brand cylinder to replace that. Not to terribly expensive, but I haven't got around to it.

The Truck has also developed the sticking gas petal, but it has never been a major issue.

General Comments:

The seats in the Truck are truly awesome, there are some couches I have set in that are not even as close to comfortable as these truck seats.

The power of this truck is unmatched and the feel of the drive is truly an experience that you shouldn't miss.

Faults:

I had the truck for the 1st 6 months, and the Catalytic Converter had to be replaced 3 times. This was at 25,000 miles.

The gas pedal was sticking the 2nd year I owned the truck. At about 25,000 miles.

The driver side power window regulator at 50,000 miles had to be replaced twice in 90 days.

I have taken the truck to the Dealership for the brakes, I nearly hit a stopped vehicle at the exit ramp, I had to go out into traffic and pray I wouldn't get hit, because the truck wouldn't stop. I took it just last year to Midas and to have the brakes checked, still have 70% pads, and have 95,000 miles on the truck. The Mechanic at Midas said that he has never seen a 1999 Silverado come into his shop and need brakes.

The fuel tank sending unit started in 2003 of jumping back and forth to empty from full.

Now since reading these reviews I do feel that my transmission is doing funny things.

General Comments:

The 1999 Silverado I have has been a good truck, I really like the style, and it rides very well. Will I buy another, maybe not. I am currently considering looking into a Ford 6.0 F250 4x4.
