1998 Chevrolet K1500 Cheyenne review from North America
"Dependable, but underpowered"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out at 120,000, cost $2,000 to replace.
Brakes and idler pulley went out at 130,000.
Big dent in the bed, but that's because I jackknifed my trailor into it.
General comments?
The rig is dependable, albeit for the transmission going out.
But the 4.3 L V-6 is not powerful enough for this truck.
The interior is a very ugly burgundy color.
