That's what I had. Long bed, crew cab, manual 5 speed. Only bad thing about that rig was the stupid ass front axle. That thing ate tires. The only way to fix it is to line it up and weld some 1/2" bar stock on the spindles to keep them from toeing out.

Good to know if I ever get lucky to get one.
Fortunately, we have some excellent diesel pickup shops here locally that are likely aware of that.
We still have a lot of 90's era rigs around here since they last along time due to the lack of salt on the roads in the winter, compared to back east.

"We can confirm a small number of Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups may have been built with a roof panel split defect. A stop-sale is in place as the impacted vehicles are identified and repaired."
It has nothing to do with a "design mistake" or an "engineering" flaw. It has everything to do with a quality control failure due to a defective part being installed. An engineering flaw would be the Takata Air Bag inflators using ammonium-nitrate-based propellant without a chemical drying agent.

Criticism over corporate origin is fair, but calling them worthless pieces of crap is provably false.

that's why so many very old Toyotas have gone well over 200,000 miles (or more) and still are sought after when for sale.
not only that, but so many "foreign car companies" have factories here in the states, employing thousands of your fellow Americans, supporting thier families, and communities.
why do you suppose many American companies "partnered" with the Japanese..??
cuz many American car makers...produced......."worthless pieces of crap", that MADE Americans migrate to the foreign car makers, for thier dependability, and longevity.....

so, i think what that means is...buy that $80,000 chevy truck, and drive it right on over to the junkyard...
vert, very disappointing.
i LOVED my 2 chevy pick ups....(1980 and 1986)

I have three Toyota Tundra trucks in my stable, two were built in Indiana, one was built in Texas.
The Hoosier built trucks are about to hit 200,000 miles, the Texas built truck is at 315,000 miles.
All are excellent trucks... all three were purchased used.

That’s why used Tundras are selling for nearly as much as used ones. Their reliability is off the charts. If Japanese cars are pieces of crap God knows what that makes US built cars.

yes, yes it is making a horrible noise.
my best guess would be the fluffenator valve is sticking to the whozeewhatsits refurberator plate, and as a result, the AM/FM radio is picking up radio signals from the planet Zorbon, and what you are hearing is actually a communique between 3 homeless pet rocks.

Should I be worried that that makes sense to me?
