  Warrning!! Watch out for this truck - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  By Carney - July 31 - 2:00 am

  71,000 miles the transfer case (NVG246) electronic shifting developed 3 holes. Cost to repair $1400. Rear brakes ruined fluid contamination. Truck is highway driven only, no off road, or heavy towing. Transfer case is poorly designed and built to fail. Internal oil pump wiggles and wears holes in the case. Repair shop said they see A LOT(!) of this. Replacement parts are the same as the old ones GM and New Ventures response, “out of warranty YOUR problem”! Nice response for a truck that coast $31,000 new.

  Best vehicle I ever owned - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  By happy owner - April 12 - 3:10 am

  I have never owned a better vehicle. It has 300,000 miles now and runs like a champ. The only thing done to this vehicle was change the brake pads at 225,000 for the first time, water pump at 285,000 shocks at 250,000 and spark plugs every 100,000 I have never even aligned this vehicle!

  The underestimated truck - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  By GrahamMcFarland - March 30 - 8:20 am

  This truck is the best we have ever owned. On a good day I get close to 18 mpg and its all stock. The truck is built very well and have had only had little problems with it. We use it to plow and is great at it. The take off it very fast with the 6.0L aluminum light big block. The off road ability is very nice because it sits nice and high.

  Starts, runs, drives and stops. - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  By jet62095 - December 26 - 6:13 am

  I love this truck. I got it age 15 for a first truck. The trans (4L80E) went at 142,993 miles, when it lost reverse. Very comfortable truck, I do notice when I go over bumps, the bed seems to move seperate from the cab. The interior design is pretty good, though the middle seat does not fold down for an arm rest, and the rear seats are locking, which can be a pain.

  love this truck - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  By Jay - December 13 - 5:50 pm

  I bought this truck new and for the first 125000 miles I didnt do a thing to it except replace a cracked exhaust manifold (at 650000) and change the oil. I have 155000 on it now and in the last six months I have pretty much given it a complete overhaul. Everything broke at once. Granted Im not the best with maintenance and it all just caught up with me. Now with a complete new brake system, alternator, starter, the other manifold,and a tune up, I hope to get at least another 100000 miles out of it. The biggest complaint is the ABS. Even after the recall they still dont work right. Quick fix is to pull the fuse. I hope for a few more years out of it and would definitely buy another Chevy.

  Harsh Ride on some freeways/highways - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  By cmon - April 1 - 10:00 am

  ok, check this out. I like this truck, everything about it, except that it is VERY VERY bouncy when you have bad road. I put about 25,000 miles in about 5 months now, and I suggest you do some research before buying this 3/4 ton truck. It kinda feels like your holding onto a machine gun at times. It gets bad, but when its good, its good. But when you haul stuff, life is good (very smooth). I suggest the Propane powered option because of them gas prices now. You get about the same mileage, but you pay much less for propane (cheapest ive seen is $1.30) vs. $2.25 for gasoline.

  Awesome truck - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  By cph 360 - September 30 - 6:26 pm

  I have owned many trucks and all I can say is my 1988 2500 2wd 5.7 regular cab has 248,000 miles and still performs like new. I purchased 2004 2500 4wd crew cab 6.0 v8 last month and all I can say is this truck is truly superior too all other trucks. Ride looks handling and most of all performance. The power is unbelievable and gas mileage is 14 mpg around town and 17.8 on the highway, what more can I say great job gm. Ford, Dodge, Toyota step aside, I"m a GM man for ever.
