  Great Truck - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Alfred - May 25 - 7:50 pm

  Bought used with minor frame damage and had it fixed. Runs & handles great. Cant believe the great gas mileage for such a heavy truck and the power when you need it. Already ran truck on straight, clean vegetable oil and will now set up to use waste vegetable oil. Love this truck!

  Great ride and handling. Is an excelent vehicle in snow even though it is only two wheel drive. One of the few vehicle I have driven that is still comfortable after 12 hours of steady driving.

  All around best medium duty hauler. - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

  The duramax diesel is a performer. Fuel economy is 50% better than previous 2000, 6 liter silverado, both solo and towing 12,000 pounds of camper. Plenty of power, quiet, allison is great, a no brainer on shifting, onstar is handy when traveling, just an all around good truck, its about time chevy.

  Love the Duramax with Allison tranny - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

  This truck is extremely well mannered for its size and ratings. I look for opportunities to take it out on the road and just drive, to feel the power and smoothness which it delivers. It is a premium vehicle that isnt cheap, and its sales lag because of the price premium. If you can afford it, its a wonderful vehicle, especially the diesel/Allison combo. It looks like GM has a winner here. Cons: If you want to jack it up, lift kits more expensive for the IFS than straight axle set-ups, but the ride is ultimately sacrificed on straight axle setups. Bose stereo option would have been nice.

  I added a $300 chip and get 20mpg on the road and 16mpg around town. its amazing for a truck that large to have as much power, confort and gas economy. I will put it up next to a Ford or Dodge any day.

  Couldnt ask for much more. Compared to F-250s much quieter, more power, more room inside. This is a tough truck.

  Chevy 2500HD LT Diesel - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Golden Eagle - September 1 - 11:00 am

  Very reliable truck. I have had this one for almost 7 years. The only problem is a mechanical dysfunction that was covered under the warranty at about 80,000 miles. Mileage is about 17-19/mpg. The diesel is louder than the newer models but still quiter than the competition from the same years. The 4WD has never acted up. All interior features are still working properly. Have not put any money into this truck since purchase except regular maintenance and tires. I could not have had a better truck over the last 7 years. Would like a new model, but with the cost, I will just keep this one going. It still looks new from the street and pulls like a train.

  I have driven this truck for over a year now, and I have put over 35000 miles on it. Great truck to drive and also very fun. I have pulled over 16000 lbs in a gooseneck and it did perfect. The transmission is EXCELENT. Saves the brakes when hauling. With a K&N air filter I get about 13-16 GPM, with 265/75/R16, and a 1.5" front end lift it looks great.

  I have no real complaints about the truck. I have over 25K miles on it and Ive had no problems. The suspension is a little stiffer than other trucks Ive owned which makes the ride a bit choppy. When the engine is cold I do get the "piston slap" but I have been told that this is just the way the engine was designed. Great Truck

  Great pickup! - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By hogman26 - March 18 - 10:00 am

  I bought this truck because I liked the way it looked over the half-ton. I am completely satisfied by it so far. The performance is unbelieveable a true strong running truck. My truck has the 6.0L in it more than enough power. But I have added dual exhaust and plan on an intake system in the near future. Still it has more power than other pickups when it was stock. I have had no mechanical problems yet. Just a little rattle under the dash. I highly recomend this truck.
