2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD review from North America
"Like it, love it, keeping it for awhile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sounds like a diesel when first starting up in the am, unable to replicate for dealer since I have to drive it in the am to get there.
The daytime driving light bulbs have burnt out- costs $8.00 per light to replace, will do eventually.
Sensor for headlight screwy, always on- need to fix dash cover.
General comments?
We needed a good reliable truck to pull a travel trailer, and I think we got it-of course the gas mileage is terrible when you drive you are towing.
Got the extended cab for family reasons-the crew cab would have made it to long for me to drive and park- feel like I take up the whole road as it is.
Back seats are so-so not the most comfortable, but had worse in trucks- the teenager can sleep back there so that helps.
Only downfall is hubby wants to get the truck lifted and equalized- and he is looking at the Banks Power System for more power.
Thinking next truck to be a diesel -yrs and yrs down the line-- this is our 2nd Chevy truck and the only type his dad has- its the only one he looked into really.
