2001 Chevrolet Silverado LS 1500 review from North America
"This is a great truck."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gas gauge repeatedly flicks from full to empty, causing the "low fuel" light to flicker on and off.
The front shocks have needed to be replaced.
The temperature control dial stopped working, staying at one temperature no matter where it gets twisted.
My exhaust developed a pinhole leak (not caused by rusting).
General comments?
This truck accelerates faster than my old sports car.
The interior is very quiet.
The cabin controls are very easy to manipulate and well marked.
The seats are pretty comfortable for trips up to two hours.
The blind spots are pretty large, so I need to be extra careful changing lanes.
