This truck inside creaks and groan as you drive through rough surface and the dash completely rattling during driving through an unimproved road, but still I loved it. I found something about the reverse drum (or clutch) top part chips away and doesn't get good pressure at certain spot on the reverse drum. Forward gears work great and then once in a while my reverse just won't work. The way you sit high and have good visibility at all angle it's just priceless! It's also good for towing, even just towing the uhaul trailer. But my reverse (1999 BMW 328i - 120k miles) works then doesn't. I should just left this beast on the 15 Freeway, but i just loved it too much. Drive shaft u joint broke - this got me and the family stranded in the middle of the freeway and required towing, and the repair and replacement cost for the damage to drive shaft and transmission yoke was a little over $900.00 almost half the value of the truck. Headlights sometimes dimmed - didn't fix yet and not really sure why.ħ. Cracked top dashboard - GM used a very low quality plastic in my opinion, all the interior plastics are suspect and especially the top dash cover.Ħ. Vanity mirror light and cover off the sunshade broken - didn't fix yet.ĥ. 2006 Chevy Cobalt Engine Locked Up after Oil Change.

Power window main switch - rear passenger window will not work from the driver controller.Ĥ. A/C Blows Warm From one side - Cold on The Other. Passenger door latch - bent, caused difficulty in opening the door.Ģ. Other things that needed to repair on mine:ġ. Use the good oil for older high mileage vehicle, like Valvoline Maxlife. I don't see the need to replace the plug wires on tune up. This help the braking a little but caution still needed when driving this heavy vehicle.įifth, tune up by replacing the plugs, dist. I also replaced the brake master cylinder to the NBS Tahoe (2001-2003) master cylinder. Third, check the high pressure power steering hose, most of the time this will also go bad.įourth, check the brakes and replaced all worn out parts, this vehicle have a very underrated braking system thus you need it at the tip top conditions just to have a decent stopping distance. This make your slush box shift a little quicker and actually make the the heavy vehicle feels lighter on its wheels.

Second, make sure you drain and replace filter on the auto transmission fluid, and while you at it might as well install the corvette servo and Transgo shift kit (4L60E-HD2). This would cost at the minimum about $700 at the dealership. So the first thing you will have to replace on the 5.7L vortec (元1 Engine), is the intake manifold gasket and replace the coolant with the regular green prestone stuff. Of course in the SoCal freeway we need to drive at 80MPH to keep up with the traffic flow, and this high speed doesn't help. It doesn't help my truck had the towing package with 3.73 rear diff gearing, even freeway driving only give me about 15 MPG.

Gas mileage is a joke for this truck, I think I am going to make a bumper sticker that said "I am supporting OPEC, one full gas tank at the time". I bought the vehicle used in 2014 at only 69,000 miles for $2,680.00, I know buying a 15 years old vehicle even with the low mileage was very risky, however what the heck I have good mechanical ability.
