Not much changes.
2-3 new colors..maybe some more HP..and that's about it. You can get the order in now..and get your "place in line"..and change things later...once you get a build date...you have to cancel or stick with what you picked.
Wasn't it ryanbab who said that the '01 Silverado X-cabs were to have those ugly rear door handles like that junk from toyota? Is this all just bs or have staff at GM gone mad?
What's the fastest you have spun your Silverado's motor?
I haven't seen 5200 rpm for more than a fraction of a second so what good is a HP peak that high. I have routinely run ato 4500 rpm at WOT for extended periods though on my 4.8L.
I never said that dont put words in my mouth. Someone in the silverado topic brought it up. I have seen all the new stuff (colors interior color, and a Z71 electronic thingy that controls smooth ride vs hauling ride) no mention of rear door handles. My salesman ordered a 2001 and in a few wks itll be in ill let u all know if it has those infamous door handles
been at 6000 rpm's a few times. Hypetech allows you to adjust for it. I don't get there that often, but I'm not afraid to hammer it. I was just curious about the horsepower. If the 2500 has 325HP it's not too far off the Corvette's 345? They should put a twin cam, 4 valve per cylinder 6.0 in the Corvette - what do you think 425 Horse?? Not that a Silverado will ever catch a Corvette, but horsepower is close. Heck, it would have more than a Camaro, but still lose a race...
those rear door handles are stupid. Why not just leave it the way it is? Are they going to leave the inside handle or remove it? Should just leave well enough alone...
Anyone know when Edmunds and similar sites will have pricing on the 2001's? Dealer says that they should have them within the next week or two. Thanks.
Theres a website check out the silverado post go back about 100 posts and its there only changes is MSRP went up because the auto trans is standard on all ext cab models no more manual. SO that price the $995 was added to the MSRP other than that i seen no changes unlike last yr when the engine price went up $100. DOnt worry about the price thing nothing drastic
There were a couple of posts claiming the rear door handles - one of them even pointed to pictures. The pictures they pointed to were of Crew cab trucks - not extended cab trucks. When I saw the pics I knew we were dealing with some real pros - they didn't have a clue what the difference was. It was clearly not a 1/2 ton truck and had four full doors.
Otherwise no official sightings, no claims from GM, nothing on EXTND cabs having outside handles on the rear doors.
i was one of the guys that posted about the rear handles. 1st of all there is a picture of the 2001 ext. cab (not crew cab,a distinct diff.) LS 1500 in our local paper. THE FRESNO BEE. 2nd of all the dealer has one on his lot right now. 2 other ones without the handles. and finally i would like to know what makes CRYIN' RYAN the expert here. young man you can't even tell the diff. between a tick tick or a tsh tsh sound under your TUNDRA. ha ha
for the rest of you guys and gals don't worry, this was the only truck that i've seen with these stupid handles. just hope it was a special order or something cause if they continue with this exterior change then i'll not buy another chevy until they see the error in their ways. oh yeah, my salesman did tell me that it was chevy's answer to quite a bit of input from a lot of EXT. cab (NOY CREW CAB) owners. the one i saw retained the interior handle. all they did was to fit an exterior handle and release rod. there's a lot of SILVERADO owners out there that apparently think the exterior handles add convienence to opening and closing the rear doors. if it gets down to majority rules then we lose. we're a small (if not token) number that post here. who do you think chevy is gonna listen to, 20-40 people that post here once in awhile or the other 500,000 owners that buy silverado. do the math or listen to CRYIN' RYAN or "what ever floats your boat".
Are you sure your not at a toyota dealership red looking at trucks????? There is no mention of any rear door handles anywhere except from you. Its like a ufo sighting. I have read of all the changes that have been made (colors price changes and new stuff) and not one place have i read or seen rear door handles. I dont care if they make it or not. Im just trying to figure this out how your the only person that has seen it. Trust me i pass2 chevy dealerships going to work and i look at the trucks and NONE have had em.
saw the name somewhere else but not gonna tell. it is someone that you trust but they had fun with you elsewhere.
yes, i'm looking at the chevy not the toyolo. besides, what makes you think that i'm the only one that has seen this new chevy abortion? like i said, we are not the majority. i'm sure there's others out there that have seen the new handles, i just can't seem to get all the other silverado owners to post here. ha ha
Ryan, sorry if I made a mistake about you bring up the rear door handles? I thought it was you...you know how you went on and on and on about those fender flares! I just thought it was you, because your on about something! ha,ha,ha. rcoos
Found out some horrible news today. OnStar is standard on the LT and they want to charge for it. What a rip off. Cadillac owners don't even want this piece of crap and so they are forcing it on truck buyers. Dealer estimates a $300 - $500 increase for it.
I don't like this on-star system also. I think of it as a invasion of privacy more than anything. I know they've been slow sellers and maybe this is why there putting them in? Bad decision - glad my 2000 LT doesn't have it...
Forcing OffStar on us is a bad idea and will lead to your demise. Bad Chevy, bad. Don't push this piece of crap on the truck buyer. Keep it as an option for Bill Gates, but don't force it on us. Next thing there will be black helicopters following us. Chevy = Big Brother, 1984 and all of that crap.
watching where you go, where you spend your money, all compiled in a huge database for future reference...even if you don't activate it, how would you know if it is tracking or not? Another good example is Windows...how do we know if it isn't sending data to Microsoft every time you log on...could have a mole planted to surface every so often...transmits its data, then go underground until next scheduled transmission....Hmmm makes one a little paranoid.....
Insurance companies can see where you drive, what time you drive, how far you drive, how FAST you drive. If there's an accident, Lawyers could subpoena the record. Ordered a 2001 GMC 2500 on Friday. I didn't even see "On Star" offered.
It looks like some of you have been forgetting to take your medicine? Are some of you into this "black helicopter theory"? Sounds to me like some of you have been listening a little to close to the radio speaker when the Art Bell show was on! rcoos
Saw it on 20-20 or 60 Minutes maybe. The information is there, On-Star says it will not give it out....Do you believe them? If a court of law says, "Give us this information," will they decline? Yea, this information is worthless.....Why does my internet provider bombard me with GM adds? Think maybe GM is paying them?...... I'm not saying On-Star is selling the info, I don't know. I also don't believe everything I see on 60 Minutes. All I'm doing is pointing out that they CAN track you, and sometimes it can be for the good.
a Power slider was to be an option for 2001?...maybe later...
I'd take a rear power slider and a power moonroof. Someone posted pictures a while back of a very nice aftermarket power moon roof/sun roof on a silverado a while back...like $1200...but it was nice.

Is the 3/4 ton going to have 325 H.P. or 300? Just curious...

Onstar can take a hike...and the new colors seem OK...
for 2002 I doubt power will get any higher?...maybe a plastic box for 2500's?..(oh boy)..
All we need now is the 5 door race!
A 5th door opens to the bed area?....or a roof door?...
