Extremely happy with incredible power from 8.1 L/Allison. Great ride even on our sub-standard roads. I cannot complain about 7 mpg towing over 10000 lbs. Love this truck!! Big size a problem in city driving/parking but excellent in purpose truck was bought for-towing.

  Love My Truck - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  By txgrandma - October 30 - 9:53 am

  Im a grandmother and use my truck to haul grandkids to the rodeos, get hay, and just general travel. It is the most comfortable truck that I have ever driven. Mechanically we have had only minor problems and it has over 170,000 miles on it. I cant really think of anything I dont like about it. If it ever gets replaces it will be with another Chevy 1-ton. It will pull anything Ive put behind it and is extremely reliable on the road. Nothing but a Chevy for me!

  Chev 3500 4x4 Dually - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  By Bubba Camper - March 12 - 2:00 am

  Never had any problems with this truck, which I use to commute to work and carry my Lance 1161 model camper. Gas mileage is 9 MPG without the camper and about 8 MPG with the camper. Power to spare. Can be a rought ride on a bumpy road.

  Nice ride, too many problems. - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  By libertynh - October 31 - 9:50 am

  Transmission position sensor failed just out of warranty. Truck starting shutting off while driving at 40K. GM no help. Found online info re: bad crank position sensor and replaced to fix. Both problems known to happen on other trucks. Exhaust stud broke and flange warped. Tailgate latch rusted inside gate and does not catch. Transmission slipping after stop and go. Toyota went 3 times as far with no problems.
