1997 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 Z71 stepside review from North America
"A very fast truck that is highly capable off road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that went wrong was the U-joints, and that was from break torquing the truck to much.
General comments?
This truck is amazing, I have more power than I ever expected from this kind of truck. It is a regular cab step side Z71. If you want more power than you will ever need, just add a flowmaster delta flow 40 and a K&N airfilter. I can smoke any of my friends trucks with V-8's. This truck is awesome off road, I haven't got stuck once, I have pushed this truck really hard and it wants more every time. I highly recommend this type of truck if you want more power than you need and want a very capable off road vehicle.
