1994 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 Extended Cab review from North America
"A cold weather friend!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ball joint.
Right hand side blinker.
General comments?
The only real problems I've had with my truck is with hooking up my trailer brakes. I think this is less of a problem with the truck's electricals and more to do with the quality of wiring that was used for it.
I've put almost 50,000kms on this truck and it has treated me very well. I change the oil on a regular basis and gave it a full tune up 2 days after I bought it.
The truck was bought in Alberta where it gets as cold as -40 celcius. No problems. 2 years later, I'm living on the West Coast in start and stop traffic (unless I go up Island) and have still had no problems. My friend in AB has a '92 with over 210,000kms on it and he has only had to replace the 4x4 actuator (approximately $150).
One thing to consider is that the factory in Canada builds them differently for B.C. than most of the rest of Canada due in part to the extreme weather difference. Thank God I bought mine in the next province over.
