1997 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 review from North America
"Best truck on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My windshield wipers will occasionally stop working or will stay on when I've already shut them off.
My transmission went out at 106,000 miles.
My oxygen sensor is going out and causing my check engine light to come on frequently.
Sometimes in the middle of a turn, the wheel will pull quickly in that same direction.
General comments?
The most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven or rode in (including cars).
Even with the things I've had to replace, I will never own anything other than a Chevy Silverado.
The quick-engaging 4-wheel drive is so convenient and easy to work.
It is the quietest truck I've ever heard.
This truck has so much power that I hate not using it more for working and pulling.
