Used 1999 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Series Consumer Reviews
GOOD TRUCKS
THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST DEPENDABLE TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED. 207000 MILES AND NEVER MORE THAN MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN REQUIRED. STILL VERY POWERFUL!!! I LOVE MY TRUCK
C/K1500
I bought it new in 1998. very nice truck. It's had a vibration since day one, and still has it from wheels or driveshaft?. I had driveshaft balanced, and wheels also. It has been very reliable, and the engine runs strong. Great brakes!
The Lemon
This '99 truck has been the poorest quality truck I've ever owned. Nice looking but has had numerous problems. Harmonic Vibrations in suspension, road noise, minor engine problems, and poor assembly issues that were fixed under warranty. Now the ABS brakes quit at 40,000 miles and the dealership acknowledges they have been a problem, but no help or recall from GM. Most frustrating vehicle I've ever owned.
Good enough for me
I have bought only Chevys since of age to be a consumer. I have had an S10, a previous edition of this truck, a tahoe, and a suburban(still have). By far, this truck meets the quality expectations which have come to be the norm. Not being able to afford the truck I desired at time of this purchase (2001 Chevy 2500HD 4X4), I settled for this truck, and it's good enough for me.
Great truck
Pleasure to drive. 3rd door is a good feature. Ride and quality very good. Gas mileage okay at 15 for a 4wd. Very reliable, no problems.
1998 Chevy K1500 Z-71
Other than a noisy fuel pump, the truck has been extremely reliable. Several dealers have said replacing the fuel pump would not quiet it down as it is inside factory specs. With a 5.7 V-8, the mileage at first was 13 city, 18 highway,I installed a K&N air filter & put a Tornado in the intake and I started getting 16-20 MPG. Incredible increase in H.P. & torque.
ONE BAD TRUCK!
I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW HAVE ENJOYED IT FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS AND HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF SEEING IT INTO MY ELDER YEARS. (I AM 60 YEARS YOUNG) THIS TRUCK HAS A PERSONALITY OF ITS OWN AND SEEMS DETERMINED TO HOLD ITS HOOD ORNIMENT UP HIGH FOR AS LONG AS I CHANGE ITS OIL AND ROTATE ITS TIRES. IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO DO WHATEVER IT WAS ASKED TO DO. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GM!
Off road 4X4
Have had outstanding service with this truck. Only problem was ABS went out, expensive item! Very happy with unit, getting 19-20 miles per gallon at average speed of 60mph. Great to tow behind motorhome. Using recommended procedure from handbook. No mileage recorded,a s advertised!
My dream truck
I purchased the vehicle 3 years ago and will never regret it despite some problems. I replaced all brake pads and shoes as the ones installed on the truck when purchased were defective bonded type. The front disc brake assemblies pull the wheels unevenly requiring force on the steering wheel to keep the vehicle straight. The engine block to head joints were repaired to correct coolant leaks. The radiator now has a small leak at an oil cooler joint. One of the exhaust manifolds leaks slightly where it bolts to cylinder head. Despite the problems, the vehicle is a pleasure to drive; very comfortable and powerful. I've driven it on three vacation trips of several hundred miles without incident.
most expensive truck ever
I had to take out a second mortage for all the repairs on this truck!! 115500 miles and already a new transmission, water pump, fuel pump, ball joints, abs sensors,What a piece of junk!! Should have got a Ford!
