Review
I bought this truck about a year ago
with 67xxx miles on it, a little one
owner always kept inside only driven
short trips. Given that I was worred
when I started putting more miles
driving to work every day parts would
fail...20000 miles later have only had
to replace the driver side power window
motor and the battery. The engine uses
a quart of oil every 3000 miles but no
leaks on floor. I get 16mpg average
driving with the 350cid motor. I have
had a number of GM and Ford trucks but
I think this is the best of the lot.

When chevy says they build a truck like
a rock they mean it! I've had this
truck for 14 years and it has NEVER
broke down....ever! Plenty of power
provided by the 350 and great traction
w/ the 3:73 gears in the back. Great
all around truck.

I just got my 1993 1500 in June. these
trucks look their best either jacked up
or slammed. i went for the slammed
look. i got the truck 5 inches off the
ground, aluminum rims, roll pan front
bumper cover kit, 5-speed trans., which
i just hooked up a 350ci to. over the
summer i had the 4.3L V6, which did not
have enough cahonies. i got the 350ci
out of an 1989 2500. this engine was
scary in the 2500, i can't wait to see
how it performs in my truck. Just
wanted to brage and say that these
trucks are excellent street machines
that can do the heavy work. Chevy
trucks RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plain and simple the truck was the best
and I regret selling it the first
place, If you look at the power numbers
they don't stand out like today's
numbers, but you would be surprised of
what that truck can do! Chevy Power all
the way!!!!!!

Abolutely outstanding truck! We have
replaced minimal items due to normal
wear and tear i.e. battery, starter,
and that's it. We honestly don't have
any complaints, except it's too bad
they don't make'em like they used to.

I have had this truck for 7 years and i
have used it for everything from pulling
stumps in the yard, to moving to hauling
trash and it always comes back for more.
I now have over 180,000 miles on it and
it is getting tired, but it has never
broke down on me. before parts go, i
just have it addressed before it blows up.
It has common 350 problems ( valve guide
seals, oil consumption) but over all it
was a very good value for the buck.

i bought this truck in july with 84000
miles on it i had to replace valve
seals a starter and an alternator but
after replacing everything it is a
great truck although the transmission
is feeling a little i currently have
89000 miles on it and its running
pretty good overall i would have to say
this is a good truck reliable and
pretty powerful with the 350 v-8

I love this truck! Here in europe and
Sweden everone drives volvo. Volvo is a
good car but its so boring. Thats why i
boght an american.
TO DRIVE: You can drive this car in
every weathercondition there is in
Sweden. And as you know its snow fom
October untill April. CITY: Its perfect
in the city when you see over the other
cars and the stearing is exellent and
very precise. HIGH WAY: Its a real good
car on the high way. Whit the big
engine and the heavy weigt its like
driving a boat. WILD LIFE: Actually the
gravel is the worst part for this truck
to handel. Its almost like a raidear on
ice. But the truck is so big that it
dosent botter you!

Transmissions was replaced about 125,000
miles and the truck currently has about
220,000 miles. The first 170,000 miles
were mostly highway, but the truck did
serve some heavy duty from pulling large
heavily loaded tandem trailers to
recovering stuck farm tractors, etc.
Except for the transmission
replacement, the drivetrain is still in
excellent condition. A recent
compression check indicated all
cylinders are well within limitations.
Changing the oil every 3,000 miles and
fixing the little things as needed,
really makes a difference in the long run.
