2002 Chevrolet Truck Silverado review from North America
"A nice truck with a bad engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine has acquired a severe knock that the dealer claims is 'normal'. Apparently Chev issued a notice to all dealers not to fix engine knock, as it will not affect engines within the warranty period. I am totally frustrated with my inability to get any attention paid to this issue.
General comments?
I generally like the truck. It has excellent power, either pulling or hauling. Gas mileage could be better, but I did not expect economy with a 6 litre.
