Chevy-Like a rock

1993 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Series Cheyenne 2dr Regular Cab LB (4.3L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)

Third owner (bought at 72k). Always been reliable. 145k, replaced most of the basics, alternator, fuel pump starter, water pump. Clutch made it to 109k, even with towing and hauling. ECU has failed twice, Im told that's to be expected with this model. For a half ton, there is not one on the market today that can haul like this. I'm sad the NE rust is finally setting in, because this truck has been solid since day one. Easy to work on, V6 is very small under the hood, five speed is adequate, but ratios are spread pretty far apart from 2-3. Looking forward to another 100k.

Purchased this truck with 103xxx miles miles in Nov 2011 for $1600, it now has 124xxx. It ran great except for the tranny, it would jerk forward when shifting from 1st to 2nd and shift late from 2nd to 3rd. However, I bought it knowing full well of the tranny problems, wasnt that bad. The truck ran excellent for the first 4k-5k miles, then it left me stranded due to a bad ignition coil. 2k miles later truck wouldnt start due to a bad fuel pump. But its to be expected from a 20+ year old vehicle. Very weak rear suspension. Ive had to change all of the following parts:

1993 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Series Silverado 2dr Regular Cab 4WD LB (4.3L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)

This truck is a rare find. 1993 Chevy regular Cab, 5.7 V8, longbox, and a five speed. I regularly tow 2 to 4 4-wheelers without a problem. While unloaded I regularly get 18 miles to the gallon, and while towing I get 15. Not bad for a full size with 120,000 on it. It is also very comfortable with aftermarket conversion van style seats.

It's been a very dependable truck for the intitial cost up to about 68 thousand miles. I changed the original universals for the first time at apprx. 68,000 miles. Around 70k though, I needed a serpentine belt and the altenator bearing was squeeling and radiator cap was leaking. Around 68k I had to changed the cap and rotor. It does smoked on start-up and I believe this is Chevy's use of a rubber valve grommet that tends to loosen and stay up on the stems, allowing oil to creep down the stem. It clears up quicky and isn't that smoky. Economy? A whole new exaust, reg. oil changes, air filter and driving in 5th has me in the high 17's. The electrical 4wd needs patient's. In-all? a good truck.

Quality vehicle throughout. I purchased used from Al Serra Chevrolet in Michigan. Vehicle has not needed much - just regular maintence (tires, exhaust, brakes, etc.) At best, I probably have spent 1500 in 4 years of regular maintenance. I receive many compliments on the truck because of its cleanliness at 11 years old or its color (bright teal metallic).
