Review
bought 2wd SLE, 5.3L V8 new in may 1999. still using the orignal brake pads and spark plugs. starter dead at 110K. Started leaking oil at rear seal about 60K. Let leak for the next 60K miles before I had a mechanic replace the seal for $572.00. enough said - it's ok to top off with fresh oil. I've actually drove it around for quite a few days with the check oil message and then had to add 1 full qt. This truck takes my abuse. Trucks gets 15mpg, no matter what. Interior headliner is starting to peel, pass side electronic window cable broke-who designed this??? AC blows as cols as ice. Friends who have newer Chevy's have more problems that I. CD player skips now. Very happy with it so far!
Favorite Features
reliable. Seriously, 130K on the factory brake pads. Unreal, but true. Never had any problems with wheel bearings.
Suggested Improvements
Better MFG - wish it would get 17-18 mpg.
Amazing

Review
I got my truck for work. Was going to get it or a Ford. Glad I got this one. More than enough power to get my oversized tires to start spinning. I've pulled my father's 9000 lb boat without any struggle, I would recomend this truck to anyone, it out pulls and performs anything on the road
Favorite Features
The engine is outstanding. So much power and super good reliability. Just normal stuff with 115,000 miles
Suggested Improvements
Posi in the rear. The locker doesn't cut it in some instances

Review
Purchased this truck new in 1999. It now has 205,000 miles. Has been a great, reliable truck. Great tire mileage, got 100000 miles out of the factory installed tires (Generals). Still on the third set of tires. Transmission got hot and had to be rebuilt at 130000, put a trans cooler on to fix that problem. Had a bad lifter at 75000 but a new set is still working fine. No other major problems. Still looks good, drives great. Only wish it got better gas mileage, 17 to 20 mpg is it with the V-6.
Favorite Features
Exterior looks, Red Step Side. Chrome wheels. Great ride for a short wheelbase truck. Interior fabrics and carpet still look new, have held up well.
Suggested Improvements
Better gas mileage, especially for a V- 6. Put a trans cooler on as standard equipment. Better stereo speakers.
I'm impressed

Review
My first full sized truck. 5.3L engine has been great. The truck has 80k miles and has had very few mechanical problems. I easily average 16 to 18 mpg around town and 20 to 21 mpg on hwy which is darn good for a full sized truck.
Favorite Features
Comfort and power plus fuel economy for a large vehicle. Excellent overall reliability so far (7 years and 80k miles). Great engine/transmission access and design. Good brake design. Good tow vehicle.
Suggested Improvements
Wind noise from rear side windows. Paint clear coat (I've noticed minor defects as it ages). The single mechanical problem has been the drivers-side power window motor/cable assembly. I've changed it twice. Unacceptable! Drive shaft slightly imbalanced at low speed towing uphill.
