Review
Bought truck new with 18 miles. This 4.3 5speed has been the best auto I have ever purchased. I have only had 3 sets of tires on truck, still have original motor. Very reliable on both short trips and long hauls. No rust on body that I can find. Best thing I did to truck was to have a spray on bed liner. Would love to own another truck like it some day.

Review
I bought my k1500 new in 98 with the 4.3 and 5 speed. It has never once stranded me. I consistently get over 22mpg on the highway after upgrading with a throttle body spacer and air intake.
Favorite Features
The exterior styling and reliability.
Suggested Improvements
I wish the body hardware was built better.
Great Truck

Review
I bought this truck as a toy for my birthday. It was a used truck that can run on gas or lpg! I paid $3800! Great buy! This truck is amazing. It has 163,000 miles and can still do a 45 sec power brake. Easily do a burn out, tow anything and everything, and does it all with ease! I love this truck. It was one of the best purchases I have ever made.
Favorite Features
Easy read dash. Love the engine. No tranny upgrade needed. Rides smooth like a Caddy. Tows a lot.
Suggested Improvements
Looks. I don't like the front end of this truck. And ride height
