1997 Chevrolet C2500 Silverado review from North America
"I am very happy overall with the truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the brake lines go out, from sitting for a year at about 150000.
At 120000, the fuel injector clogged and I needed to have them professionally cleaned as well as a sensor fixed.
At 210000, the arm for my wipers broke and had to be fixed.
At 211000, the latch is currently broken on the inside drivers door.
All seem to be normal worn out stuff.
Around 200000, the roof started to rust along the wind shield.
General comments?
I have had nothing but a great experience with this truck. I have been very happy. I have been working to keep it up and restored.
For being only 2 wheel drive, this truck has a great deal of hauling power, as well as handling Michigan winters very well.
No problems with the transmission or the motor.
