I stopped by that shop I posted about before and drove the 2001 Ext cab 4x4 Silverado 3dr, 89k on it for $7k.Buying the older Chevy would save me a lot of $$$, but if I go out on the road how reliable will it be with no place to fix it?


2001 with a 3 door? I thought they quit making them in 1999.

All I can say about the reliability is what I've experienced with my 2000.
I bought it in 2004 with 64k on it. Most of the first 64k was towing a 8,000lb, RV. I now have 130k on it. The 5.3 uses zero oil, has zero oil leaks. Same with the trans.
My total repairs have been: 1 front wheel bearing -$122 and
2 EGR check valves-$70.
I bought it from the orig. owner, this truck has never been in a shop for repair.
I'd jump in it right now and drive cross country ith no worries at all.
