It,s been very reliable till it hit 90,000 miles. The trans went and cost me $2,300 to repair.

We've used this truck for three years in the landscape construction business. It's always been good at pulling loads but the brakes have been bad and the transmission has also failed. The door latches have repeatedly failed as has the hood latch. The radio has broken twice. There is a real problem with the rear axle seals breaking and greasing up the drum brakes. This puts all the work on the fronts and the rotors warp and/or crack. This has happened twice with this truck and once with my 4 wheel drive chevy of the same year.

Truck is a TRUCK, a workhorse will do what you want it to do. I do not like the thermal 4wd actuator it stinks when it goes out. also the intake manifold gasket leak problem these chevy's have. BUT OVERALL it is a good truck and love to drive it Flush the DEX COOL and use GREEN ANTIFREEZE it works best

All of my kids have learned to drive, and drove all through high school. Used every day since purchased. Neighbors still borrow it when I am not using it. Gas mileage is 13-15 mpg in city driving. Have used as a tow vehicle also. Just recently lost air-condidtioner, so I am selling - too much stop and go driving without air conditioning in Washington DC summers.
