2004 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 review from North America
"Excellent performer for the $$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!!!
General comments?
So far this has been an exceptional truck. Nice ride on the highway and not too bumpy on uneven pavement. Slightly sloppy/noisy shifting at low speeds is the only complaint.
The engine is very strong and I average about 19mpg on the highway, 14 in the city.
If you are looking for a truck to customize, this is your beast. Very easy to add performance and cosmetic accessories. Availability is top-of-the-line.
For 2K you can add an intake, exhaust and computer upgrade and easily add 50hp!!! I'm not kidding. This engine begs for improvement over vanilla stock items. I added a Gibson exhaust, K&N intake, Jet computer and mass airflow sensor, and MSD ignition and the results are breathtaking. Great sound and easily 350HP/400Lb.Ft. of torque.
HI-HO Silverado!!!
