  steering knock - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

  I have a 1994 ck pu that had a steering knock and after a year of complaining (to Detroit) the dealer replaced the steering gear box which solved the problem.

  Love it! - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Kip - November 3 - 4:00 am

  I actually bought this truck used but was the first owner. The dealership used it for parts deliveries so it already had 56000 miles on it in 2002. I test drove several other used trucks with a lot less mileage but they felt ragged out. Before I got off the lot I knew I was going to buy this one. It was very smooth, quiet, did not have one rattle and felt as if it had 0 miles on it. This is the longest I have ever owned a vehicle because I usally get the the "itch" after 1.5 years. Not with this one. It has nearly 130000 miles on it and after some new tires and shocks, it feels brand new again. Still no rattles. Still gets 18-22 mpg on the highway.

  Great truck! - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Carl Shepard Jr. - September 20 - 6:28 pm

  Got it used, have had it for almost a year. Ive only put about 6k miles on it. So far so good. Only fault that I have are 2 things. The seats set down too low. It feels as if your in a great big truck while driving making it hard to judge the front. I think the torsion bars are wore plum out bc when I turn wheels & hit bumps it sounds as if its gonna fall apart. Im a mechanic so everything else is sound. But hey, with 226,000 miles cant really complain. Id say in its day it was a top of the line truck. Good power. Transmission shifts flawlessly. Im gonna see if I can get 300,000 on it. Lol. Update: it’s been a few months since my review. I changed the torsion bars bushings & it seemed to fix the problem. Now when I make turns it’s like a normal truck. I’ve had a few problems with rusted out shock mount on the rear but I got all that lined out as well. Overall, one of the best trucks I’ve ever owned. Dependable, rides good, 4x4 works like it should, good power, handles good. Can’t really complain seeing that it’s got 235,000 miles now!

  JonesN for a Chevy - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Jones - July 4 - 2:00 am

  All I have been wanting for three years is an Ext. Cab Chevy 4x4. So I went out and spent more than I could afford, and man IT WAS WORTH IT. I enjoy everything about my truck except the gas mileage. I knew it would be low so Im not disappointed. I really enjoy the ride comfort and the braking ability for a large vehicle. Nice Truck!

  2002 Silverado 2wd ext - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By elljayvee - June 28 - 10:00 am

  Just 3 weeks old as of this writing. Very quiet interior for a truck.Pleasantly surprised the 5.3 V8 gave 15.6 mpg 1st tank, and 17.8 second tank. Tow package w/ Lim slp. Ride is a little bouncy but acceptable.

  230k of daily reliabily! - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By james Farrell - June 15 - 7:35 pm

  Drove this truck off the lot with 17 miles on the ODO, 14 years ago. 230 k miles later I would drive it across the country without hesitation. I have towed and towed with this truck...probably 85k....towed items heavier than the truck mostly. MOBIL1 syn oil from 1000 miles on...it makes a difference. Only negative comment is weak transmissions, a GM hallmark in my ownership of many GM vehicles, this one was not an exception...you geto 100k or so out of a trans. Other than that...GREAT TRUCK.
