1997 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 review from North America
"Rugged dependability by Detroit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter cable nut came loose. Cost 65$ to diagnose.
One spark plug went bad.
That's it!
General comments?
This truck is reliable. It does almost everything well. I would like to get something with better MPG, but don't want to loose my faithful Truck.
I'll probably wind up spending more on repairs that I save at the pump.
Drives like my couch. 5.0 is a little underpowered when mated with 3.73 gears though.
