2003 Chevrolet Silverado Z-71 Extended Cab review from North America

"Looks great, but is the most unreliable vehicle I've ever owned"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At 30,000 miles I had to have the battery, alternator, A/C compressor and condenser, power steering pump, water pump, and belt replaced and thank goodness it was under warranty. No one seems to know why all that went out at once.

At around 50,000 miles I had to put another alternator in my truck.

And you guessed it at 80,000 miles I had to replace the battery and alternator again and replace the passenger side power window motor.

Oh yeah, and just this past week at about 90,000 it got another alternator and the dealership still doesn't know what is wrong with my truck and states that it "must be a faulty alternator." I beg to differ. My luck isn't so bad that I got 4 bad alternators in a row.

General comments?

Love the look of the truck.

Performance, when it's working, is great but it's not very reliable due to electrical problems that the great GM service techs can't seem to fix with their great training and experience.
