Review

This is one awseome truck. This truck will go anywhere and the 4 wheel drive system shifts easly. It is a basic, no nonsense 4X4. It rides smooth on the road and tackles the mud and snow with ease. The 5.7, 5 speed still works great and has 226,000 miles on it. You can open the hood and actually see the engine. Brakes work fine and the steering is still tight after all these miles. It does not have all the modern devices like the newer trucks, but it is more dependable. The brush guard and winch are a added feature for a off road hunting and fishing toy and my dog loves to ride.

Favorite Features

Simple design, easy to work on when needed, dependable 4x4 system.

Suggested Improvements

Better door hinges and glove box door hinges.

'92 Silverado - Reliable Ride

Review

Smooth ride overall, this has been a very reliable truck still runnning on the original drivetrain, having replaced only common wear items like brakes, water pump, alternator, tires, etc. I have driven other brands of trucks friends had, and to me the others dont compare as far as handling, and drivability. The best thing you can do is change the oil and transmission fluid regularly as recommended. And lube front suspension.

Favorite Features

The split bench seat has been great, along with large outside mirrors which almost eliminates blind spots, power windows is always nice, tight steering, and a good ride!

Suggested Improvements

Better rear tailshaft seal and lubricant for driveshaft is needed.

Review

I have owned this truck for almost four years now, along with three other vehicles, I cannot tell you how many times I have had to turn to my truck when other vehicles just would not get the job done. for the last three years it has been my work truck, and as much as I have ignored taking care of it, she has never left me standing.

Favorite Features

The fact that it is simply a down to earth work-truck.

Suggested Improvements

A tougher, more durable body would be a good addition.

Good Family Truck

Review

Bought x-cab new; impressed w/ 6 seat belts. Was our "big" family vehicle for several years, with two child seats in rear seat. Been happy to have 4.3 V-6 w/ 5 spd stick for gas mileage. Enough power to tow boat or trailer with skid-steer, haul dirt, sand, firewood. Very versatile. With high gas prices I'm relearning how to drive around town, and with octane additive in gas I'm getting 17-19 mpg in town. Always running late when on highway, & at 75-85 mph gas mileage is same as in town. Clutch went out twice early--once when wife was driving; rear diff bearings & drive shaft carrier bearings replaced twice. getting bit of rust on cab btm; ONLY REASON TO TRADE: NO AIR BAGS

Favorite Features

The BIG shifter

Suggested Improvements

If driver's side head rest in in lowered position (where it usually is), when lean seat back forward to reach back seat head rest always hits horn button on steering wheel and blows and surprises me and everyone. Change this. Offer a traction package other than 6 sand bags in the back;

Review

I bought this truck new. I changed oil every 5000 miles, washed it once per year, performed regular maintainance (shocks,brakes,muffler,water pump,sparkplugs,cap, rotor, wires, hoses, air filter, tires, starter, battery, fuel pump) She just keeps going & going & going. No doubt this is the greatest vehicle I ever bought for the money!! Vehicle was built in Canada. Awesome truck, Like a Rock!!

Favorite Features

Trouble light in engine compartment, very handy. Very comfortable ride, and bench seats are great.

Suggested Improvements

Wish the seats could recline, but still very comfortable.

Door handles.
