    The people with those chevys like that with keys and a lift around here have no power because of gears, frame breakages!!, and tranny problems.

    Cheap interior which rattles constantly, intake issues(gaskets), fuel pump issues, electrical issues (cluster), there a cheap made truck. Wheel bearings usually go out around 100k (100 bux a side) ac tensioners are garbage. Gotta replace belt and ac tensioner together. LS motors have a seperate belt and tensioner just for ac.

    Oh I forgot to mention, my buddy has an 03 with 155k miles. He got a cel for knock sensor. I replaced them (under intake) light went off for 2 days. Next code was oxygen sensor, those were replaced and light was off a day. Next code was random cylinder misfire. Replaced wires and plugs. Now it's back on for injector malfunction.

    4 different codes in 4 weeks....:facepalm:


    An ex of mine has had to replace water pump and instrument cluster and hers only had 75k miles.....

    Another buddy has a 02 HD with 6.0 gas motor.
    122k miles and he's replaced water pump, fan clutch, and had to pull heads because the exhaust stud broke off in the heads....


    Chevy=FAIL

    The knock sensors can be a real pain if mud ever got to it..they break all apart
