Chevrolet C/K

Price Paid:  $31000.00 from Grey Chevrolet, WA

Summary:
I own the new Silverdo (Crew Cab) 2500HD 4x4, 4:10 rear end, with the 6.0L gas engine. I selected the truck because of the engine size. The truck drives great. However, the engine has developed a knock when starting cold and after towing a boat. The gas mileage averaged about 12 at first, but it has dropped to 10.5. It has also started to idle rough.

Strengths:
Ride (for a HD truck), cabin noise, interior layout.

Weaknesses:
Engine not as strong as expected, rough idle, engine knock, gas mileage.
