  • Its Been A Good Truck - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
    By -

    My truck has the 6.0 L. engine, which for my money does everything it should. The truck has plenty of power and has been reliable. The few problems that I had were, a loose heat sheild on the exhaust, chrome came off the grill, and rear u-joints went at about 30,000 mi.. I feel I use the truck more than most of the yuppies who buy the big extended cab diesel. I plow snow with it and it also does all the work on my farm. I would buy this truck again in a heartbeat.

  • Best Truck - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
    By -

    Best truck has the 8.1 with the allison tranny. Has power and with a full load it wont bog down. All one ton and in great condition lots of miles over 216k but still runs strong, I never have a problem with the truck, I use it to pull and drive on a daily basis. The 4x4 works great too.When needing to it will turn all 4 tires without a problem. With all the normal maintenance it runs strong with no problems. I highly recommend this truck for any occasion or any reason.

  • Excellent Work Horse!!! - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
    By -

    Overall, the best truck Ive ever owned or driven. It tows and hauls awesome. The ride is great! Seats 5 adults comfortable with the option of a 6th. Tough truck with a strong drive train!! I highly recommend it for anyone who is towing a trailer and needs to pack the family or a bunch of friends!! Very reliable and the electronic sensors make it so a dummy could maintain it!

  • DuraMax Makes The Grade - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
    By -

    This truck has the power! Power to perform the work (towing & haouling), and power to play. Cant believe a 6700 lb truck drives like a corvette. It is easy to increase the base 300hp to over 90 rwhp with as little as an $800 module and 5 minutes of time. Never knew that diesel motors were so easy to make horsepower. Smoth firm ride. Great highway ride. Gas milage is out of this world with 17-20 mpg depending on driving habits and type driving. GM has a winner! Ive no problems outside of a leak in the windshield and the inside passenger door lock coming loose. These were fixed under warranty without incident.

  • All Good - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
    By -

    I bought this truck for towing power and interior space for the family. In both respects it has met the need superbly. I have not had any mechanical problems for 15000+ miles now. It starts in below zero weather regularly with no problem. Its really comfortable on the road. My 3 year old daughter prefers it to our new Grand Caravan. The 6.0 Litre engine tows my boat like its not even there.

  • Great Engine - Duramax - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
    By -

    Bought used from brother. 6.6L Diesel Duramax engine. Never a problem. Lots and lots of power with this engine. Maintenance easy for a DIY. Ill never go back to a gasoline powered P/U. I consistantly get 21 - 22 MPG on the highway, and 18 in town, when running with out a load. Everything solid, reliable and predictable. Would buy again in a minute. Brother chose this color. Id never get navy blue. Requires lots of washing.

  • Siverado 2500 HD - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

    One of the best trucks I have owned. We sometimes tow our 55 Chevy to shows and you never know it is back there. A lot of low end torque, great truck.

  • Hot Rod CHEVY TRUCK - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
    By -

    The 2500HD is most powerful vehicle Ive ever owned. I ordered the 8.1 Vortec with an Allison 5 speed automatic transmission, 2WD, 3.73 rear end and still get a respectable 15.5 mpg. It pulls my 3,500 lb. bass boat like its not even there. This truck is extremely powerful and fun to drive. Ive owned at least a dozen pickup trucks and this is by far my favorite. I highly recomend this truck to anyone that wants a truck with hot rod performance.
