At 18000 miles a cold start clatter was noticed. The problem was fixed by local dealership. The cold start clatter started again less than 1800 miles after service was performed. This problem is a common and GM has no known fix at this time. A service bulletin has been issued to all Chevrolet dealerships on this problem. I have also noticed rust on the rear door hinges. Some wind noise is also a problem in the windshield area.
Even with the problems I have had with Chevrolet. I still love my 4-door Z-71 LS Silverado.
When I bought my 2000 Silverado LS with 25,000 miles on it
there was a horrible wind noise. I made them fix it before
the sale. The dealer stated there is a service bulletin for rear quarter glass seal replacement. The repair helped, but
now I hear wind noise from the front that I could not hear before. Not too bad though.
