1998 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 review from North America
"Awesome vehicle, period!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the water pump, fuel pump and alternator at 135,000 miles.
Replaced EGR valve at 155,000 miles.
General comments?
This has been a cheap vehicle to own. Beyond regular maintenance only $1200 spent on parts in 6 years.
This truck has taken a beating, off road, towing boats, snowmobiles, other vehicles, campers and has kept on running strong.
It doesn't leak or burn any fluids.
It has maintained it's performance & fuel economy.
I will run this vehicle until it dies. I'll be very surprised if it doesn't run strong through 250,000 miles. My only regret is not buying a K2500.
