2000 Chevrolet Silverado review from North America
"Reliable and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission replaced at 105,000.
Water pump replaced at 120,000.
General comments?
I love the power this truck has, but the transmission has been an issue since I bought it.
Now at 133,000 miles the transmission is shifting at random times, and yes we are talking about the transmission with only 30,000 miles on it. It makes a horrible clanging when I drive very sluggishly (0-3mph), and as soon as I give it gas it goes away. It knocks loudly when I put it in gear.
I take good care of the truck, and the aesthetics of it are still great. The interior is in good shape, the A/C blows frosty air, and power windows/locks/mirrors still function well.
