2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS 4.8L V8 5speed from North America

Summary:

Well worth it - I'm hooked on Chevy Silverado now!!

Faults:

The only thing that went wrong (warranty item) was the power steering boot started a slow drip/leak. That was it. Nothing else has ever gone wrong.

I LOVE THIS TRUCK! IT IS BUILD LIKE A ROCK!!!

General Comments:

I had a Ford Ranger for years and drove it into the ground. 139,000 miles later it started giving up, so I traded it in and upgraded to a Chevy Silverado 1500LS shortbed with a V8 and a 5speed manual tranny. I haven't looked back... This truck is awesome and can go anywhere and do anything.

The truck is awesome it is pretty good quality, but the performance is awesome, I've town about 9000 lbs. with it and it rode great, and it is fast as hell, 0-60 in 8 seconds. this is a kick ass truck, if you are lookin for a truck that gets good mileage and works great for towing and working with, gt a chevy 1500.

How do you screw up driving an automatic? If it was a standard then I can see her (or you with all your drag strip excursions) messing the rear end up with bad clutching and gear shifting. However I'm curious how a kick ass truck like this can handle some power to the rear end and the tranny too, sounds pretty weak to me. And 8 seconds with an AUTO tranny on a stock engine doesn't sound very believable to me unless you modded it.

Did you maintain it? Like oil changes and oil filter changes. That might account for your piston slap and bearing failures.

The transfer case needs to be taken care of as well. I believe your supposed to follow the owners manual and I thought you had to engage 4wd every once and a while to lubricate the 4wd components...

2000 Chevrolet Silverado LS 5.3 Liter V8 from North America

Summary:

A good truck, but seems to have some of the problems as other silverado owners

Faults:

The fuel pressure regulator. 3rd gear went out in transmission. Wheel bearing went out, causing ABS sensor to go bad. Door seal leaks on the passenger side. The service 4 wheel drive light comes on after about 20 or so miles. Problems with the air condition not being cold enough. Problem with the heater not being warm enough.

General Comments:

The Engine (5.3 Liter) has plenty of power and hasn't had one problem. The cab has plenty of room in the front and back.

2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ex cab 5.3 from North America

Summary:

I don't like to complain, but this is a sad truck

Faults:

Motor ticks when started up for last 30000 miles

Tail gate fell off going down road

Brakes would go to floor on a rough road

Seats starting to fall in

Had door rubbers glued back up in place

Power steering pump replaced

And finally the fuel gauge is now bouncing from full to empty all the time

Replaced driver lites three times and last power windows starting to go up slower.

General Comments:

This truck has been driven to work on paved highways the past five years. This is my 5th new Chevy truck over the years and it is going to my 16 year old daughter next month because they say don't buy a good vehicle for their first car. I hate to say it, but a ford is in my future and I have worked for a certain car company for 25 years.
