fyi, the stereos for the silverados did change from '99-'00. you can now get the cd player as part of the head unit. and, like me, can save some ridiculous amount of money, like $200 by deleting the tape deck. and you get yourself an extra little cubby-hole. i can't believe they would charge $200 for a tape player, but hey...i didn't pay it.

Wind noise quarter windows-
Could not verify
Driveline growl-
Could not verify
Tire vibration-
Could not verify
Squeaking front springs-
Back ordered parts
Rear leaf springs bottom out with 300# load-
Back ordered parts
Front seat squeak-
Reconnect spring
They have had my truck for 6 days and managed to not verify over half of the problems; not have parts for another third of the problems and managed to reconnect a spring in my seat. How's that for Mr. Goodwrench service! BTW, I usually give the service writer $30 - $50 tip to follow up so I know that he is trying. Why do I get the feeling that these factory trained technicians learn how to write "COULD NOT VERIFY" one thousand times at GM tech school.

PF59's None available here in the NE at Autozone, however they said they will be getting them soon. Checked Walmart/Kmart also and still none available. The good news is if you are seeing them at your local stores now that means we can't be far behind, hopefully by the next oil change.
Ryan, 3 days and counting, or did you delay again?
You are not old enough yet young man..
Bad Ryan..
No Z71 for you.

BOB: That was funny about the 1 oar short. i wouldnt doubt it. And to answer your question no i didnt delay ordering it. THe only thing that could is if we get a blizzard (its 70 here now but friday and saturday it supposed to snow) but ill still order it over the phone then and mail the deposit.
REVITUPFAST: Nice truck man looks great. Origional too.
Ryan
aka the babbler
REVITUPFAST: The trucks looks good. I especially like the Regular Cab Longbed. A real truck, not a car with a big open trunk.

Any tips on installing bedcaps? Did you use foam double stick tape?

Cam.......Rochester, we're practically neighbors, well 4 hrs away at least. Don't you love the Snow Belt, winter is not over yet. Remember the old farmers saying, when March comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion. WINTER IS NOT OVER YET! & the weather you get usually comes are way next.

I've had them installed both ways and like this way better.
Ford 3.2%
GM 20.8%
DaimlerChrysler 12.9%
Toyota 17.6%
Nissan 100.0%

I would like to lift the front of my 2000 silverado 4x4 up 3" to level it out, any kits available for this. Any and all help will be appreciated Thanks
I asked what would happen if it was using too much oil. The answer was noncommittal - they didn’t know and we would cross that bridge when we came to it.
It should be interesting.
Ray T.
I checked out the pics of your truck and it looks good with the matching flares and side-moulding color. I thought all solid color Silverados came with a black side moulding, thats why I went the way I did. Was surprised to see yours as a match to the bodycolor.
Hey Ryanbab....bler, I like your new AKA, keep those decks and roofs on the go.
Mike L.....I'm sure Vince4 will also agree about the reg. cab. As he says, we are a dwindling breed that still go for the traditional pick-up look. One benefit though, because GM sells so many Ext. Cab units, the regular cabs are usually always on some GMAC finance or lease rate % that is a better rate than can be had on an Ext. Cab.
By the way if anyone cares, the step bars on the truck (Post #116) are the Westin CPS type. So far I am very pleased with them.
Thanks to all....

My salesman told me to just go drive 70, it doesn't matter. The manual said not to go over 55 for the first 500 miles. My dad says to vary the speed for the first 500 miles.
Just my curiosity at work.
Mike L
I have never had any problems with my vehicles, no oil burning, and always lasted a long time. My '78 Pontiac GP is still going with 200,000 miles on it. I don't think salesman really know how to break one it. He can sell you a new one if the present one goes down. And just remember, it isn't his, it's yours.
My personal opinion, everyone to his own.
Roger.
This is my first new vehicle in a long time and I wanted to do everything right. I've read all kinds of different opinions, but felt it would be safest to just do what the manual said.
One other thing I had done today was to have the dealer check a creaking noise coming from the front end on low speed turns. They removed the lower control arm and lubed a bushing. They seem to think that will fix the problem - I can't tell yet whether it's fixed or not.

I'll also give a brief overview to spark anyone's interests. The way it works is that you file your taxes through H&R Block, either by visiting an office or through their online program. The online program only costs $9.95 and is incredibly easy to use. Then, if you get a refund, they send you a "credit card" with a value equal to your refund. I got mine in less than a week. You can use the credit card anywere, just like a debit or ATM card. But where the value comes in is that H&R Block has special deals with certain companies who offer discounts to those who use the card there. If you have at least $500 on the card and use it towards your new vehicle, GM will give you another $500 towards it as well!! Another caveat is that if you have less than a $750 refund from all your taxes (you can do federal and state) the card costs $19.95, but over $750, it is free. Hope that I have explained it all clearly.
To sum it up, if you haven't file you taxes yet and expect over a $500 refund, you may as well do the online tax program and get another $500 off your new SILVERADO!!

This is a beautiful truck. Owners please advise. Would you buy another one?
Thanks
When I sell the truck...I may take the boards and rails with me....but the skins are staying.
As for winter being over??.....A friend of mine plows snow...and he almost always plows once In March!
- Tim
past 2 yrs in march we have had one
Ryan
The matching trim and flares come with certain colors only. Otherwise they are both black.

Good points: Best ride, Best fuel Mileage, Best options, most room and comfort, overall good reliability
Negatives: Too much plastic and the associated plastic squeaks, new model start up problems, questionable new transmission design / programming, fuel prices going to $2.00 a gallon and it seems the resale value is taking a big hit on these models e.g 1999 LT loaded wholesale/trade in value now around 20K. (my older C/K's seemed to hold their trade in value better then this one)
Also whats with no one liking all the plastic? What should they use then? I dont know i like the interior the plastic doesnt bother me at all but what do u want them to use metal. Most all other vehicles too use plastic.
Ryan
2 days and counting
For resale down the line, 4 being worth more than 3 (other than maybe the original option price) is just BS. If a used truck is in good shape and has the important features (like engine size, gears, etc) the 4th door doesn't mean a damn thing.
I guess we would have to go back to about topic IV to rehash this. I'll quit now.
On the plastic dash, not to start a range war, but if you look at the Tundra dash and other makes they are still using the formed and padded dash. I think for 30+K it is pretty short sighted to stick a vacuum formed plastic dash that squeaks and if you tap on it, it makes a Yugo look good. For 30K they could have at least padded the underside so it doesn't sound so tinny. But, that is just a personal peeve based on looking at what the other manufactures offer, over all it's a good vehicle, they just could have done a lot better for the price and made it a great vehicle.
Two days till you tell Bluebeast your no longer a babbler and wanna be.... (can't wait)
This [1500 LT X-CAB 4X4] is my first brand spanking new vehicle. Just under 2000 miles. 5 weeks old. 0 problems.
BTW. Everytime I even think about posting, someone else adds something new. Talk about babbling.
