My Beast Has More Go
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My bad luck
Reading these other reviews, I feel as though I got a dud. This truck has been nothing but problems. I've had it for ten years now and so far I've had to rebuild the clutch, replace the rear end, replace the fuel tank, and much more trivial stuff. This truck has left me sitting on the side of the road at least 3 times so far. Everything electrical in this truck from the radio to the speedometer has been on the fritz for the last 5 years. It only has 138000 miles on it and its junk. The fuel economy sucks for a 6 cylinder and the power is non-existent. It's also rusted out. This engine is too small for this size of a truck. Maybe this is just my bad luck though
Like a rock!!
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.
Good solid Truck
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.
