Still Ticking
Second owner of this truck when I bought it in 1999. At 265000 miles, it is incredibly reliable. Recent snowstorms required me to pull much newer 2wds out of snowbanks and a couple of Tahoes. I expect to get 300K miles out of the V-6 and will get a new VORTEC at that time. Original tranny, electrics, 4wd, transfer case, and air conditioning. Major parts changed are clutch, fuel pump, and water pump. Normal maintenance otherwise; unbelievable. Getting ready to recover driver's seat and tow my boat this summer. GREAT Truck!!
350 5sp
Bought the truck, and Ill never get rid of it, as the tags show its a 5.7 ltr with a 5 speed manual. The only transmision for a truck. To much power is never enough, Havent found any thing I couldnt tow with-in reason. Great looks and design, is as solid as the day I bought her. No mods to performance yet, but with 170,000 miles on her why should I. I also Did a dealer inspection at 150,000 miles and the engine and transmission are quote "not even broke in" unquote.
disappointed with Chev
I had a 1988 chev and was real happy with it. Bought a used 98 last yr with a 5 litre, auto, 2 wheel dr,and it has cost me plenty. The trani went for a $3,000 touch, rear pinon bearing, manifold gasket, drive shaft seal, thermostat, heater coupler, rad, fuel pump humms like a 747 ready to take off, it's been replaced once already, truck wonders on the road, no pulling power, interior lights work sometimes, frnt seats rattle and move while locked in place, rear seat does the same, squeeky 3rd dr, crappy tire jack design, try changing a tire at 30 below! I'm already looking for a different truck. Really disappointed in Chev.
I LOVE THIS TRUCK!
I bought this truck from a neighbor when it had 45,000 miles on it and it has been great! it has a towing package on it and i get 13-15 mpg in town and 18 on the road. i really like the vortec 5.7 engine lots of power. it is a roomy quiet truck that is a joy to drive in traffic or on the road.
Very nice truck!
I bought this truck a year ago with 45,000 miles on it and it has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. It has the original equiment tires on it and they still have 50% of the tread on them (Firestone Steeltex AT). I get 17 miles to gallon on the road and 14- 15 mpg around town. No squeaks, rattles or other annoying issues. I did put a new set of shocks on it when i got it but that is it. It is a pleasure to drive and own.
