Summary:
The best truck money can buy
Faults:
Broke the trans casing due to a bad rear trans mount.
Lost the rear diff at about 152,000.
General Comments:
This truck has amazing power, and handles great, with great mileage if I stay out of the throttle.
I wouldn't trade this truck for the world.
Just drove it 3000 miles straight through without trouble.

Summary:
It is the best $50 I ever spent
Faults:
It has a broken steering column, busted throttle body, blown tranny and I plan on fixing it soon. When I got it a few months ago, it was pretty good.
General Comments:
It goes fast, it smells like new, it has a comfy leather seat, it has aftermarket cupholders, and does an awful fine burnout. It also gets massive air when jumping. Like 5 feet.
The windshield is smashed, but it starts good.
It has no exhaust, but it really isn't loud at all.

Summary:
Strong Running Speedy truck
Faults:
Replaced the spark plugs and changed the oil using castrol 20w50 holds good oil pressure under just about any condition.
General Comments:
It has the "350" so when I mash it it goes. I can beat almost anything on wheels including all imports. The only thing that will outrun me is the 7.4 "454" V8's - the 400's can't compete. I am very pleased with this truck!!! I can run 10's on the quarter mile - hows that for performance?!

Summary:
A dependable, long lasting, powerful and inexpensive investment
Faults:
A hose from the cooling system has busted twice in 2 months while I was city driving.
The transmission has went out twice in one year, 700R4 type, but an upgrade kit is available for this transmission and I can really tell the difference when it shifts and everything, a must have.
Because of the lightweight rear-end and power, the truck has poor handling on sharp turns.
General Comments:
The performance and power I receive from my 305 c.i. engine is amazing.
The throttle body injectors are great, I believe that the throttle body was the greatest thing that ever happened to Chevrolet!
While turning, passengers bodies tend to move or shift with the turn which is sort of uncomfortable.

Summary:
One heck of a TOUGH TRUCK!!!
Faults:
I first had to replace the stock starter at 125,000 miles.
Replace throttle body gaskets.
EGR filter and pump.
In-tank fuel pump.
Fuel tank.
Power steering pump the core fell a part.
Short in the fuse panel.
Air smog pump.
Exhaust system catalytic converter shot and muffler blow out due to catalytic converter.
Pit arm and ball joints.
Cloth seat seriously fell apart.
Distributor cap and rotor.
Clutch plate and pressure plate.
General Comments:
This truck is a good work horse.
Despite all of the repairs, but that's expected after 15 years of hard work and travel.
Keep in mind that this truck out lasted a 1993 Ford F150 which only lasted a week. And two other Chevy truck a 1990 Silver ado and a 1999 Sonoma.
The repairs were only three years recent, and listed in order.
