1997 Chevrolet C3500 review from North America
"Best truck I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only had to replace front brake pads and both batteries since purchasing in 2002.
It is a turbo diesel, runs like a scared rabbit with coyotes chasing it. Acceleration is amazing as well as its pulling power. Rides very comfortable with good fuel economy.
Love my crewcab diesel. Best truck I ever owned. I have driven Ford 7.3 diesels and there is no comparison with this truck. It is so much better on acceleration.
