2016 Silverado issues?
I'm looking at a 2016 crew cab and before I make a final decisions I want to know if there's anything I need to look over or have checked out.Over the years some small things have shown up with my '08,nothing I couldn't take care of myself for the most part but the '16s should have been out long enough now that things should be starting to show up.Anyone have any issues show they can share?

Test drive it to ensure no vibration issues and make sure that the tranny shifts smoothly.

Re: 2016 Silverado issues?
I love my 2016 4 door 6.5' bed Z71. no complaints. I have the 6 speed transmission with the 5.3 4/8 valve variable cylinder and have NO complaints. It's a great truck to replace my 2002 1500 with 250K miles. The only issue I had was 3 months in I had a fuel injector that would not hold pressure overnight. Replaced by dealer for free. A few TSBs for computer/firmware updates but no real mechanical issues so far.

Re: 2016 Silverado issues?
Thanks J cat. You’ve helped me many times and I appreciate it.
I understand what you mean about expensive defects. Hopefully my 16 will be as solid for me as my 02 was. I sold a set of plugs and wires from my 02 that I never installed to a guy that is chasing gremlins on his 01. |
