1999 Chevrolet Silverado LS review from North America
"A good truck, but seems to have some of the problems as other silverado owners"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel pressure regulator. 3rd gear went out in transmission. Wheel bearing went out, causing ABS sensor to go bad. Door seal leaks on the passenger side. The service 4 wheel drive light comes on after about 20 or so miles. Problems with the air condition not being cold enough. Problem with the heater not being warm enough.
General comments?
The Engine (5.3 Liter) has plenty of power and hasn't had one problem. The cab has plenty of room in the front and back.
