I had to replace all the common problems such as the steering box, intake gaskets, and idler pulley.
All other parts replaced have been strictly maintenance items.
I love this truck. It does everything well, and is an extended cab so there is also ample room and comfort.
This is a truck that drives like a car, yet is not afraid to be used as a workhorse.
This truck is exceptionally well built. 120,000 miles with no squeaks or rattles, and everything functions as well as the day it rolled off the assembly line.
Fuel mileage is poor, but very respectable for a four wheel drive, full size truck.
Engine performance is nothing short of excellent. The truck is quick, reliable, and tows a trailer with ease.
This review is a very accurate description of what it takes to be happy with any truck. It seems that satisfaction depends on personality. I too own a 1998 silverado, and work at a Chevy dealer. I have seen many silverado's come in and out of the garage for all kinds of service, and repairs. It always comes down to what the truck is used for, and how it was driven. Also, no matter what the manufacturer there will always be signature repairs for any type of truck. Overall, it seems that by '98 GM had developed one of the best platforms for a reliable truck to ever hit the roads, or TRAILS!!!
