1999 Chevrolet Silverado LS review from North America
"The best car I have owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel sending unit on these are all defective. Replaced twice under warranty and once on my dime. Dealership response in any part of the country is that the local refinery put out some bad gas (that affects only the trucks from Chevrolet?)
Power window regulator went bad once. Dealer warranty item.
General comments?
This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. Not partial to it, just a fact. It gets an honest 20 mpg on the road and 18 in town. Runs like the day I bought it and I change the oil once a year with an extended interval synthetic.
It has been rock solid reliable and I am just wating for everything to crater at once, but it hasn't failed me yet. Many 90 mph road trips in the AZ desert and it keeps going.
I will drive it until it won't drive any more.
