Silverado Z71 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles

bought a z71 Chevy Silverado ex cab brand new took really good care of it . kept It washed and clean top and bottom. And now the cab corners are rusting out on both sides (LIKE A ROCK) YEAH RIGHT ! Now I have notice a lot of Chevys doing the same thing bunch of crap!!! $1500.00 to get fixed I THINK CHEVY SHOULD FIX THE DAM THING .Maybe that would make them make a better truck . I am shopping for a new truck but don't think it will be a Chevy !

Silverado Z71 5.3L

I bought this truck used on the listed date of June 09, and the rockers and cab corners already had long established surface rust. The truck has mudflaps to no avail. As of now, November 2011, the rust has progressed through to the other side so that it pushes in when pressed on with your hand. There is no excuse for this. I had a '92 CK 1500 for 10 years with 148000 miles when I sold it here in upstate NY where I'm still located. Also the frame rust on this truck is worse than most trucks 20 years old and older.
