1997 Chevrolet Truck CK1500 SILVERADO review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes having the typical problems, pulls to the right, but not from alignment or suspension issues.
Hard shift 1st to 2nd.
Transmission oil cooler lines leaking at the crimps
Engine light on
Leaking coolant fluid.
General comments?
When everything is working, the truck feels and drives great. I, along with many others, question why I purchased an American truck in the first place. It's not as if Chevy engineers forgot about silicone and other traditional gasketing materials... These problems seem to be engineered failures.
