Q: what would you prefer? a 2006 Ford F-150 slightly barely used? or a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado used of course?
i got an offer for a red chevy silverado, 2003 that had about 20,000 miles on it, it was nice and all, the price was around $22,000. this was at a preowned dealership. at a new ford truck dealership i got an offer for a 2006 Ford F150 with around 5,000 miles only a little more on the tag, $25,000. i came out with the same amount down payment and around the same amount monthly payment…which would you have taken? the thing about this was that since i have kinda shaky credit, the first salesman was trying to get me financed like really hard, but i left his dealership with an “i’ll call you later with the results” so while i was waiting i decided to go to this dealership that i had heard alot about, in no time at all i chose the truck i wanted, financed it and while it was being washed and waxed about 6hrs. later salesman #1 calls and says he finally got me approved, to which i answered nevermind i already bought a truck, what would you have done, gone for the better deal like i did?
i felt bad afterwards for salesman #1 being as how they earn theyre paycheck by commission. but a good deal is a good deal right? dont get me wrong, the salesman at the ford dealership sold the heck out of that truck, and he earned that sale too, i just left salesman #1 with the impression that i was going to buy a truck from him….a question i ask myself is “what the hell took him so long?”

A: check the kelly blue book and see what the vechicles are worth . thats kbb.com .then you need to see what the intrest rate of each vechile loan is and what the bottom line will be at payoff.also if you are trading in make sure that you check the kbb on your trade in is . you can use this for leverage when dealing at the table.also check out what kind of warranty for each .check to see if you can tranfer the factory waranty for the ford

Q: Chevrolet Silverado service engine light is on, also bad gas mileage?
I have a 2003 chevrolet silverado with a 5.3 l v8. The engine light keeps comming on and autozone tells me it is fireing a fuel systems and emmisions sensor. I am wondering if it is somehow connected to me getting around or less than 10 mpg? I replaced air filter, spark plugs, and used some injector cleanor, nothing seams to help. any ideas?

A: You need to take it to a dealer. Have their service dept. check the codes. Even if what you have serviced so far fixed the problem the computer system will still need to be cleared before it will run properly. Most dealer service depts. have the same hourly rate for labor, and if they service your truck then they will take the diagnostic fee off of your total bill, and their mechanics are certified and experienced for Chevrolet. In most cases like yours it is a sensor that is bad, your computer system will adjust your emissions and timing to compensate for this, but if you do not fix the original problem then it will just cause other damage and cost more to reapir.

Q: Can I get a factory remote start for a 2005 Chevrolet 2500HD Silverado?
Buying a used 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. I was wondering if you can get chevy remote start/keyless entry unit for this truck. I know they are pretty standard for 2007 and newer but do they make parts to fit the older trucks? Thanks

A: yeah you have to buy it aftermarket though

Q: Do you think the laser blue metallic color will look good on my 1992 chevrolet silverado?
ok…i have a 1992 chevrolet silverado and i need some opinions! Do you think that the laser blue metallic color will look good on my truck! This color is used on the 2007 GM vehicles and i want to paint my truck that color! I realy need advice!

A: I find that many people are looking to upgrade their vehicle with a new model year color paint. Like the prior years that color will become popular and dated. If you paint your 92 like a 07 it will look great till everyone has a laser blue metallic truck. Why dont you go to a paint shop and pick a new color that is unique and something you like?

I would bet whatever color your 92 is, it was hot in 92…now its dated…think outside the box.

Q: Does the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD have a recall on the speedometer and gas gauge?
My speedometer and gas gauge began to malfunction in Janurary 2010. The speedometer works occassionally. The gas gauge indicator, when the tank is filled, goes all the way straight down towards the floor and when about half of the fuel is used, it occassionally will adjust to the proper setting. The Chevrolet service manager stated concerning the gas gauge that it was not the gauge but was a problem within the tank and would cost a consider amount of money to fix as they would have to remove the tank.

A: HI!

You have NO Cable to operate your Speedometer. it is all electronic ( and i do not mean digital ! ) The Speed Sensor could not be at fault for this type of Problem either!

I have seen this Many Many times in Chevy , Gmc , Buick , Pontiac Etc vehicles. They even will warranty the cluster thru the dealership!!

The Problem lies in the Speedometer Cluster. These Clusters made after 2000 have Stepper Motors to drive ALL the gauges including the SPEEDOMETER ! The Tachometer and Speedometer are the Most prone to failure as they are used the most!

It is best to have the Instrument Cluster Removed and Repaired or Replaced. A junkyard Replacement is ok but make sure you get a guarantee.

I pull at least one cluster a week and repair them for this same sort of problem!

I would charge $160 to repair the cluster plus shipping.

I guarantee my work for 2 years.

I hope this helps Good Luck!

Q: What are the different types of Chevrolet Silverado trucks?
i’m looking to get a used one as my first car, i just want a standard one with a regular back seat and regular everything. is that a 1500? what would it be called?

A: The truck with a back seat but not four doors is called an extended cab. It is available in 1500, 2500 and 3500.

Q: How difficult is it to replace shocks on a Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
I have a 2004 2WD 1500. I have never replaced shocks on any car or truck. I have decent mechanical knowledge and I was told by a few people that shocks are pretty easy. I can replace brakes and pads in under and hour so how hard can the shocks be to do?

Also I am replacing all four corners, it currently has the original shocks at 80k miles. I was looking at some Bilstein shocks to replace whatever they used from factory.

A: its not hard at all i found that KYB is better than Bilstein

Q: 1994 Chevrolet Silverado-what years are compatible for interchanging parts?
My husband has a 1994 Chevrolet Silverado, with extended cab and long bed. He wrecked it and bent the frame. The engine and transmission are still in GREAT condition, and he would like to find the shell of another Chevrolet Silverado that has a good frame and body to put his engine and/or transmission in.

Can anyone tell me what years are compatible? It need not be extended cab nor long bed.

Right now, his truck still runs. We have been using it on the farm.

A: Depends on your motor , But should fit most chev`s from 88 -95. The trans is the same , the driveshafts are different

Q: What do I need to hook up subs to my factory radio in an 08 Chevrolet Silverado.?
I have some subs and an amp from my old truck and want to put them in my new truck but does anyone know what I would need to make the amp work and to push bass to my subs without turning up the bass to my regular speakers since I just want to keep using my factory radio? Thanks in advance.

A: actually the answer above is wrong, you don’t necessarily have to get that connector, most amplifiers will come with a high level input through witch you can connect the amp to the stereo by just tapping the speaker wire. I just posted explaining how to do this, here is the link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Am08JqcccNGUNkgQiJUog2bsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090620121543AA0iApV&show=7#profile-info-e6ZNZbEuaa

mine is the first answer.
hope the info helps.

Q: Would you still drive a 2007 chevrolet silverado 2500HD?
Would you still have it if you weren’t actually using it as a work truck? I got one from an auction it is a crew cab, gas type, and it is an LT. They were giving it for 12,000 and that is a cheap price for that truck so I got it because who knows if a nicer truck will be auction off again. So would you still keep it if you were not using it as much for work?

A: As all big truck/SUV drivers are finding, gas is too expensive. You got the truck cheap because of high fuel costs, and yes, more will be given away in the future. A truck is great to have around, but you better think about a better MPG daily driver, unless you don’t drive a lot, then it is fine. If you don’t need it, try to sell it now and hopefully make a buck on it.

Q: How reliable is an older Chevrolet Silverado?
I’m turning 16 soon and my mom is giving me around $10,000 for for my first car what car I really want is a used Chevy Silverado 1500 extended cab but what I have been noticing when searching for one on the internet is that almost all around my price range have high mileage, around 140,000. So what I was wondering is how reliable are Silverados with high mileage?

Also would it be a better choice to get one that doesn’t have the extended cab without high mileage or to get a Dodge ram 1500 quad cab (they are reasonably cheaper)?
Im lookig for around 2003 or 2004

A: I bought mine new in 1993. I now have just over 375,000 miles on it, and have not had any major engine work yet. But then, I change the oil regularly, do all the maintenance regularly, so I won’t have a problem. My answer to you is this… ask to have it check by a good mechanic of your choice before you commit a lot of money for something. It’s best to find out if the truck has been care for or abused. It’ll be worth the few bucks it’ll cost you. As far as the Silverado goes, I’ve been happy with it, its held up well, and after 16 years, still going strong.

Q: Bad Quality Sound When I Plug My IPod Nano Into AUX Input In 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Truck?
The quality is alot less vrs a CD. I am using the factory installed AUX input jack in my factory stereo and a Griffin TuneFlex. It plugs into my 12 volt lighter plug, then a cable from there to the AUX on my stereo. My IPod snaps into the Griffin TuneFlex. Any ideas on why the sound quality is so bad? Thanks for any help.

A: Other people aren’t very happy with the Griffin.

http://store.apple.com/fi/reviews/TQ076ZM/A?n=ipodnano2&fnode=MTY1NDA2MQ

See how it sounds without the Griffin- just patch the iPod to the AUX input and run it on its own batteries. Let the iPod sit in a cupholder. Start with iPod volume low and increase until it sounds right.

Q: Chevy’s latest 0% financing deal for 60 months. Does that happen to apply to a (barely) used 2007 Silverado?
Reading the Chevrolet website, it only says 2007, it does not specify new or used. I’m just curious if I could get that free money on a slightly used vehicle as well. It would be like getting my cake and eating it too.

A: No. Sorry. new only. the used rate is 4.9 for 48mo or 5.9 for 60mo. If you can find one that you like new is a better deal with the 0 for 60 or 1.9 for 72mo.
