2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500LS review from North America
"Best truck I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Second Day I owned the truck, one of the license plate lights fell off, and the dealership didn't get the part in for about a month. This was very aggravating, but it was a very minor problem.
GoodYear tires lasted about 13,000 miles.
During acceleration from stopped, there is a slight vibration that occurs only between 15-20 mph then goes away. I haven't had the problem diagnosed yet. It started about 10,000 miles ago, and has gotten progressively worse.
General comments?
It doesn't quite have the super-cushioned suspension, I enjoyed when it was new, since I added a 7 inch Fab-tech lift kit, and 35" Mickey Thompson tires. However, it still has a comfortable ride, and looks great!
