Overview & Reviews

Chevrolet has redesigned the decade-old C/K pickup and given the truck a new name. Major structural, power, braking and interior enhancements characterize the new Silverado. Styling is evolutionary rather than revolutionary, inside and out.

  To 100k and beyond! - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By bill j - August 11 - 8:03 pm

  Bought this truck used in the last year. Never owned a Chevy before, but used them at work. I used this truck for work and play and it is equally suited for both from hauling concrete to the daily drive to the office. It handles and drives well. Tow/Haul is great and I cant wait to pull my boat with it next summer. No problems with rattles, clunks or vibrations that others have mentioned. Throttle does stick when cold, but this has been a pretty standard nuicence on other GM products Ive been familar with. Transmission has rough shift on easy accel. no problems on heavy accel or tow/haul. 4WD has been good in snow/ice. Overall a very good, reliable truck.

  Excellent Truck! - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Timmy C - April 2 - 2:00 am

  I bought this vehicle used (2yrs old) and it has been an excellent truck in nearly every way. What impressed me the most was the overall ride and cabin comfort. The ride is much smoother than others I have driven. I still enjoy walking out to my truck because it is sharp! I would highly recommend this as a part-time or full-time use vehicle. When purchased, the battery and alternator had to be replaced (by the dealership), the AC compressor clutch needed replacing, and I have replaced the brakes and the rear rotors. Other than that, no mechanical issues.

  Tough, Dependable, Workhorse - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By bwat - March 13 - 4:46 am

  Purchased in 2005 with 90k, now over 130k. I have never had a problem beyond standard maintenance with it. Ride height and feel is just right, power is adequate, steering is a little sloppy, but its a truck not a Porsche. I drive it daily and it sees use both as a driver and a workhorse for my construction business, I average about 15-17mpg loaded in mixed city/hwy conditions. It tows incredably well even with the 4.8L V8 and after being abused by me for two years is running better than when I purchased it.

  Nothing to special - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Chris03 - September 7 - 10:00 am

  Overall this vehical has been very good, 4wd has come in handy and worked well on icy roads..., however recently ive had problems with starting the truck, Ive taken it to 2 or 3 shops including a Chevy dealership and the problem still exists, the engine will turn over and over, ..theyre replaced numerous partsand tried different tests..so far nothing has worked its something that doesnt affect the driveability. I also have had to replace the U joint, apparently Chevy was inaccurae with their calculations when installing that (on all 99s) therefore you either live with a hellish noise, and adventually a vibration, or get it replaced

  Like a Rock - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By MPD - May 6 - 11:33 am

  I bought my truck with 66000 on it and put over 30000 on it in the first 14 months. I have backed off a little since then, but still average a good 20-25000 a year-14 months. As to be expected with the age and mileage of the truck, I do seem to break parts some times (mostly plastic crap used in the engine bay to connect hoses). I do a lot of off roading with it also and it holds up realy well. Does a great job towing. The only major replacement I had to do was the AC. That was almost a grand with a new compressor. Oh well, in the south you use AC pretty much year round to combat the high humidity. Only 7 more payments to go and it will be all mine! :-)

  Loved my truck - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By junkyardmama - May 7 - 1:16 am

  This was the first new vehicle I ever purchased. I loved it. Rides like a car. Havent had too many problems with it. Front pinion seal on rearend was replaced at 20000 miles. Ive gone through 2 sets of rear brake pads and still on the original front ones. Have 55,000 miles on it. ABS light is starting to come on. Worst thing is gas mileage. I only get 11 mpg city.

  vvviiiibbbbrrraaattttiiiioooonnnnn - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Humpf - April 29 - 10:00 am

  I too have had a problem with vibration in the stearing column. I purchased it used and took it to the local dealer (under warranty) who said they fixed it. To this day I still hear the vibration!!!!! )*^$#)+*!* I took it in again, and they said they would have to "really look into it" to find the problem. Hmmmm. Seems to be a common problem, but also a service departement flake-out.
