Truck uses a quart of oil in about 2,200 miles. Used a quart towing a boat for 450 miles. Truck smokes. Dealer service dept. said a quart per 1,000 miles is standard. Dealer service dept. says today a quart per 2,000 is okay and some smoke. I am embarrashed when I start the truck and it smokes. Wish I had my 96 Dodge back that I traded in. Last Chev. truck I bought rusted down in 3 years. I should have learned my lesson and not have bought another one.

Don't waste your $$$$$. This thing has more problems than Enron. Here are just a few. piston slap (this is my favorite) burns 1qt oil/1500 miles (25K on truck) transmission front-end mysterious vibrations interior quality I have been to various dealers with all of these problems and none of them have been able to fix any of these. I will be paying Ford a visit very soon.

This is my second Silverado having traded in for a 4-door. What can I say, love this truck. Anytime I can pass going uphill hauling a boat with a camper I am happy. Absolutely no problems this far, very realiable. Great with camper 4-wheeling in back country. Hauling and towing far exceed any other truck I have owned. Ride is very car-like even with HD suspension. We can complain about fuel economy, but then if we cared we would have bought a smaller truck.

I've never owned a 3/4 ton truck as an everyday vehicle. I drive on the interstate about 80 miles per day. I would have to get a Cadillac to get a better ride. Very stable. I get 17 MPG with 15 being the lowest in-town driving. No service problems at 20K mi. I could not ask for more in a truck.

Although this is my 2nd Chevy with the 6.0 I still the truck has very good performance. The gas mileage is very good, considering the amount of HP and torque which is available. All and all a very quality product, which is much better than the previous generation truck.
