1998 Chevrolet Silverado review from North America
"I love this 4x4 hopefully will have all the bugs fixed soon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
98 chevy 1500 has a leaking intake gasket this truck has 31500 miles and purs like a kitten no other problems except the ones tht are common like wipers work when sun is shining, but not when its raining have changed pitman idler arm fuel pump twice flushed cooling and tranny when bought truck brakes tires ect. was thinking of trying bar 1 leak sealer it is a small leak in gasket any body reccomend this or would re torqueing bolts help.
General comments?
Plan on keeping truck till it dies then replaceing motor highway miles on it now it runs great useing no oil. I think it needs cats on it code po420 came up recently, but light went out comes on occasioanly then goes back out for a while.
