Replaced the throttle contol unit at 125000.
Replaced drivers door handle.
Front end alignment at 115000 miles, from what I understand, this vehicle should never have to go "under the knife" for an alignment.
A pitmant arm was replaced in conjunction with the alignment.
Starter was replaced around 158000 miles (original starter)
Excellent truck for large hauls.
Average preventive maintenance.
The locking radio is an added security for those who would be thieves.
The third door was a great idea, wished it had been built into this model.
I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate all the reviews of vehicles. They're an honest and reliable source of information.
I am especially interested in the 1995 Silverado reviews, as I have just purchased, by private sale, a used 1995 Silverado 2500 with a 6.5 L turbo diesel. It's an extended cab and 8 foot box. The GVWR is 8600 lbs, FGAWR is 4250 and the RGAWR is 6000 lbs. I believe there were two versions of the 2500 Silverado made in 1995, one with a GVWR 7200 (slightly upscale half ton) and the GVWR of 8600 being described as a slightly downscale one ton. With this description it appears to me to that mine is the HD model?
I am having a very difficult time finding reliable numbers for the GVWR, payload capability or trailer pulling capability! I'm operating my Silverado in 5th wheel mode pulling a 1999 24 RLS Salem (Forest River) with a GVWR of 8250 lbs. I believe the pin weight to be in the 1250 lb region, but again I cannot find reliable data on this.
As the Salem was also bought as a unit with the Silverado, and convinced from my own experience that the Silverado as GCWR quite a bit above that required to pull my Salem, but I can't find reliable data to confirm this.
Can anyone help me out and shed some light on these issues with reliable data?
