    My 2008 chevrolet silverado with 52,000 mile on it already had the lifters replaced due to the fact it was consuming almost 2 quarts of oil every 1500 mile. Oil is still going some where once again. Also truck stinks rotten eggs and my exhaust is turning all black from running so rich. This all started after the replaced the lifters. Just got the truck inspected and now they are telling ... Read More

    I would be very interested in your outcome . I own a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with the whole undercarriage rusted, I bouught this truck used from a dealership 2 years ago and the undercarriage was black, I started noticing the rust about a year ago. If this is something that cant be fixed, I would be very interested in a class action suit. My email is ritaseay@msn.com.

    So, its starting to look like the difference between a 08 and 07 right now is about $1500 after rebates. For that difference, I can get what I want/color options (ext. cab long bed is not common here), and for the first few years, anyway, the one year newer would help resale value if I need to sell. Also, it appears that the 08 are flex fuel and cylinder deactivation together ... Read More

    It sounds like I should be able to get a tuner that is specific to my needs, right? All i'd want to do it reduce the TM, up the rev limiter, and get rid of the top speed limiter. Is this possible without changing the feel of the shifting? I'd want it to shift smoothly though. Do you know how this works? Also, I dont think you can get a VMax ... Read More

    Continuing my reply to your post: "-more cup/thermos holders across the line" Have you been in each configuration of each vehicle and counted them? I’m not sure how many the tundra has, but I know the Silverado has one for each passenger, which seems reasonable. Are you seriously listing this as a benefit? "- much more advanced Navigation system (see audio/voice controls section and POI numbers, integration with other onboard systems)" ... Read More

    A spy photographer caught the 07 Silverado with no cammo as it was being unloaded from a truck to shoot a TV commercial! It is a red crew cab 1500 4X4 model with the Z71 off-road package. It looks like a bloated Colorado to me, but I am sure it will sell very well anyway.
