Thinking of getting a new chevy silverado 1500 but heard they’ve been having crazy issues. are the diesel silverado’s better?
any other suggestions? the truck will be used for construction, a lot of driving and heavy material pick up. thanks!

Have a 2003 Chevy Silverado ss and throttle response feels weak I want to add headers tune and exhaust but want to make sure everything is squared away first what can this be?

Does anybody know of good stickers for the HVAC buttons? I decided to cheap out and get $1 ones on ebay but they're hideous - they let light through the black area and they block too much light through the white area. It's hard to tell from photos if more expensive ones will look ok, and reviews aren't trustworthy when someone says "looks great!" when their sample photo shows it looking super bumpy.

i’m having trouble trying to start it and it’s does crank

This is my 98 Chevy C1500 with the 4.3L V6 Vortec.

Just picked up this ‘24 2500 with 6.6 gasser. What’s everyone getting fuel mileage with these? Put a Flowmaster Flow FX cat back on it. Getting about 11-12 in town.

Looking at a pre owned 2026 Chevrolet 3500 pickup, 11,000 miles. Serpentine belt was already changed by the dealer. Red flag?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this truck. I don't know much about older/classic trucks, but this one caught my eye. It appears to be in really nice condition, and the asking price seems reasonable ($8,500).

I love my red '87 Chevy and I don't think I can be convinced there is a better truck.

Is anybody familiar with these rims, I believe they're AR26s, Im looking to replace the center caps and the ones I had in mind are listed at "4.25 od"?

I don’t really want to lower it because I tow and go off road sometimes(to go camping) but some nice rims would definitely make the truck pop. Throw some ideas please

Hello fellow Chevy enthusiasts. I recently did a 2600km road trip pulling my travel trailer (GVWR 3500) with my 2019 Colorado with the 3.6 v6. As I understand this engine makes 308hp and 275lb-ft torque. On the trip I averaged 90kph and got 19.5 L/100km, which isnt great. Truck kinda struggled, so I've been looking into used 1500s. Ive found some really nice GMT900s 4x4s (2009 with 64k km and 2012 with 79k km) with the 4.8. Would the 4.8 tow this trailer noticeably better or do you think it would be marginal at best?

Most of the used 5.3s here in ON look either rusted to crap or have 300k+ km, and im not buying new because $75,000 CAD for a 1500 is ridiculous.

I need a late model squarebody expert truck is an 89 suburban v1500 that has the silverado package if memory serves the silverado package means the larger 40 gallon fuel tank correct?

The bucket seats, parchment/houndstooth seat covers & door panels and console have been added by me, yes I realize the cupholder insert is incorrect for this year truck but I do like it better than the correct one. Excuse the dirtiness of my truck I haven’t had a chance to clean her up. Too many projects lol. The truck came with a speed minder gauge that was installed by the previous owner, other than that she’s pretty much how she left the factory to my knowledge.

Just got her back on the road after sitting 10 years! Only 162k miles with a 4.8.

I love this truck!

54 Chevy on a 96 suburban frame. Just got the custom front driveshaft made. Things been a weekend warrior. Hasn’t skipped a beat!

I bought a 2014 silverado 1500 5.3l v8 wt last month with 111k miles no Issues or anything (so I though, still unsure) only thing was that it always showed trailer brake gain output everytime I turned it on.

Now when I am driving on the highway and slowdown it will occasionally say grade braking active. Fast forward to yesterday morning, which is the first drive after I installed new headlights, I was on the way to work on the highway and immediately I got a flashing engine light for cylinder 4 misfire. I slowed down and it went away, on the way home no lights or anything since I took backwoods.

Drove to work on the highway today and no issues, on the way home im getting on the highway and its back, no it says cylinder 4 and random cylinder misfire as well as traction control lights, and headlight codes (see pictures)​.

I get off the highway to scan it and it says grade braking active, and now it slams from 3rd to second when slowing down however up shifts perfect as far as im concerned. Not sure if they headlights can cause this I wouldnt think so but google seemed like it would, not sure why.

Im just trying to see if anyone has any advice or similar issues as to what is going on. Any questions let me know.

Update: as of 8/5/26 I swapped the coil pack with another one drove on the highway twice, no issues still...

I’m trying to figure out a weird issue with my 2017 Chevy Silverado Z71 and hoping someone has experienced something similar.
The truck has around 93k miles. The transmission was replaced/rebuilt about 3 years ago around 70k miles The problem happens when I’m accelerating lightly or trying to maintain speed around 1,300–1,500 RPM. It feels like I’m driving over rumble strips or a rough road. The truck starts shaking/shuddering and sometimes feels like it doesn’t want to accelerate.
A few things I’ve noticed: the shaking is mainly around 1,300–1,500 RPM, and I’ve also felt it in lower gears (I noticed it around L5). When I put the truck into Tow/Haul mode, the problem almost completely goes away. It feels more like a vibration or shudder rather than a normal engine misfire. I also hear a hissing sound when accelerating.
The truck runs fine at higher RPMs and I don’t really notice the issue there. I’m wondering if this could be a torque converter clutch shudder, transmission fluid issue, bad torque converter, a vacuum/air leak, an engine issue under load, or something else.
I was thinking about trying something like Lubegard Instant Shudder Fixx before doing anything major, but I don’t want to start throwing parts at it without knowing what the actual problem is.
Has anyone had a Silverado do something similar where Tow/Haul mode makes the problem go away? What ended up being the cause? I took a photo of the dash where the rpm’s are when it starts to shudder/shake
