Overview & Reviews

The Silverado 2500HD now sports a new front fascia and revised side moldings and taillights. Top-of-the-line models also get power-folding heated mirrors with puddle lamps and turn signal indicators. On the inside, the Silverado offers numerous entertainment options including a Bose stereo system (with rear-seat controls on crew cab models), XM Satellite Radio and a rear-passenger DVD-based entertainment system (crew cab models only). The instrument panel and center console have been redesigned, and Chevrolet has added new seats, a more comprehensive driver information center and a dual-zone climate control system. On the hardware side, the standard 6.0-liter V8 gets electronic throttle control, as well as the ability to run exclusively on compressed natural gas (CNG) or a mix of CNG and gasoline.

• Powerful engine lineup, multiple drivetrain configurations, capable brakes, substantial towing and hauling capacities.

• Spotty build quality, mediocre interior materials.

  A Few Problems - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By chevrolet man - October 19 - 2:00 am

  I have owned a few trucks and the Silverado seems to be the best. I have had to bring the truck back to the dealer a few times for little problems,passenger door had a rattle- steering was not tight,all of the problems have been addressed by the dealerand fixed.I am towing a travel trailer(7700 lbs)with no problem,it has the power when I need it.I will be buying another Chevy in the futher.After comparing Ford, Dodge and Chevy, for the money Chevy was the best deal.

  Diesel long haul - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By True North - September 6 - 10:33 pm

  I love my truck, its got great power, fuel economy, looks good, does everything I need it to do with no fuss.The drivetrain on this truck is amazing. The Allison 5 speed is far superior to the Dodge/Ford trannys. Not the toughest 4wd truck though, and the power extendable tow mirrors never like to work properly. I also think it sits too low for a 4x4 3/4 ton in the front, not enough ground clearance like the Fords and Dodges have.

  Great 2500 HD Duramax - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Will - September 5 - 6:23 am

  Great Truck. Have had other Chevrolet Trucks and Ford and this far exceeds them all. Only one problem since new Speedometor went out. Wife caught that and got it fixed prior to me coming home. Tow 32ft. 5th wheel at 10,000# dry with no problem. Duramax/Allison combination good match. Sure would be nice if larger tires and sat higher but that is ones preferance can do later if want. Allison Trany shifting from stop slight roughness till warmed up just a few times but the sound is like a tank shifting into gear. Comfortable for long trips, good milage, good power and no problems really to worry about. Like to get a new one but this one has a long life in it.

  2500 HD REVIEW - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

  GOOD LOOKING TRUCK, ROUGH RIDE COMPARED TO THE 1500HD, POOR MILEAGE AND PAR ACCELERATION.

  Beward of 4WD problems - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By tractorboy - August 18 - 2:00 am

  "Service 4WD" warning constantly comes on. 4WD now doesnt work at all. The truck has already spent 10 days in service departments (Ive only owned it for 3 months). The power windows failed, the radio stopped working, and the A/C went out. Theyve been able to fix everything but the 4WD/Transfer case problems. First it was a "software update". Then it was a "control module". Then it was an "encoder motor". They finally admitted they cant fix it. To make things worse, GM isnt backing it up. This is absolutely the worst truck Ive ever owned and it only has 4,000 miles on it.

  Outstanding truck! - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By dsc362 - December 19 - 1:20 pm

  THis truck has been a great vehicle. I have the Duramax Diesel / Allison tran, 4x4, CC, LT package. I added a powerchip programmer to it and I get around 18.5mpg, not pulling a trailer, around 13mpg pulling a loaded 18, but the power remains the same either way. You can not go wrong if you need a truck for driving around town or pulling a trailer around.

  One heck-of-a-truck - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

  Get the Duramax! - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By RC - December 10 - 2:00 am

  The Duramax diesel/ Allison tranny combo is great. Im getting 19-20 not towing & 12-13 pulling a 9500 lb trailer. The Duramax gives me power to spare. The diesel is the best thing out of GM in years. The ride is not bad considering the tow rating, which is better than Ford or Dodge.

  Great truck - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By eric - October 24 - 6:30 pm

  I work this truck hard everyday. It has 94k miles on it and never let me down. Not bad on gas considering I pull a trailer daily. I get about 11MPG and 14 to 16MPG without a load. Never been in the shop for repairs. Still runs as strong as the day I bought it
