Everybody here gotta know Scotty Kilmer..He is youtube's best video mechanic who has been in the car repair business for 50 years. Just google him. Yes I hear a lot of bashing on these trucks like their engine knocking, transmission shifting oddly etc..I think most of it has to do with the way they operate their vehicle.

Hey y'all: I appreciate the timely feedback, but I'm still not getting my question answered directly. At the moment I don't have the cash set aside for it, but looking to have set aside by late 2020. Most know what I am looking for. I do see some High Country trucks that are 2014-15 that are priced at below 29K with under 75K miles on it at new BMW and VW luxury car dealers assuming they are trade ins. I am a DIYer, so year isn't that important to me in a K2 truck. I have automotive training years ago and do work on my car unless if it involves the heavy use of $10 grand valued tools such as alignment machines and OBD scanners. What I really want to know is, what are the major problems that some of you guys experience with these trucks, regardless of trim, that costs over $600 in a single repair ticket? This is just a "weekend toy" vehicle that I don't plan make as a daily driver. Probably a good 6-8,000 miles a year. I do have a beater truck a 2007 Silverado classic WT extended cab that is still going strong and that will be used for hauling.

OMG im so late in replying. Thanks for the feedback, its a thought to entertain at the moment, but if the costs outweighs the benefits, I will pass and leave the stock console or rather just downgrade to LTZ with bench seat. This is plan that I am going to be executing in late 2020. Saving up cash for the truck rather than make payments.

I want to buy a 2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country or LTZ CC in white diamond tricoat or iridescent pearl. I'm an incel living with my parents LMAO jk, so I'm saving up cash. I want to pay cash for the truck if I can find one for under $28,000. Before I burn $28,000 of my hard earned money, what are the major, salary-garnishing problems do I need to look out for when buying these trucks? I hear alot of bashing on these trucks on youtube from everyday owners to much-respected youtube mechanic, Scotty Kilmer. Very sure y'all know who he is. I much rather hear from you guys who own these trucks for quite some time and shine some light on what to look out for before I burn all my hard-earned money on a moderately-modded, luxury-like gas-hogging weekend/dating cruiser. Prefer getting it with a 5.3 L83 engine and in RWD.

I'm an avid DIYer when it comes to simple ratchet and wrenches swap on parts. I like the jump seat so I can have my lady right at my side with no obstuction Yes, I'm sure Chevy truck guys would go bananas for that high country console.

true, I believe most would do the opposite of what I want to do. Just like the jump seat better. Yours is very nice I can see you blacked out the B pillars to make it look like a GM K2 SUV style.

Strongly considering buying a 2014 Chevy Silverado High Country. I see that its a much better purchase than a new Silverado. It has everything I could possibly want in a Chevy truck. I seen a few that are under 75K miles at $26-28K which is very good value considering that is depreciated over half of its brand new "sticker" price. When I purchase it I want to do the following: Paint the front grille black and the headlight plastict trim. Replace stock rims with blacked out "Redline Edition" rims Blacked out handles and related trime. Those seem fairly easy to do. Here is the challenging part: Swap front floor console for a leather jump seat. Replace the lackluster rear taillights with the ones found on 2016-18 LTZ and High Country models. Are the latter modifications possible? How do I go about doing them?

I've been searching across auto trader and any car buying website for a K2 pickup in either GMC Sierra or Chevy Silverado. I've noticed the SLE Sierra will feature the "leather stitched" dash pad found on LTZ and higher up Silverados. It would also feature woodgrain trim on the panel and even chrome window trim. Really impressive for a mid-level trim truck! But of course we are Chevy troglodytes still owing our affection to the bowtie so we rather get a Silverado instead lol but anyways, is the GMC Sierra more bang for the buck than a Silverado?

I've been looking at American classic cars in the 60s and they have high appreciated value as of today. Of course people back then didn't predict what the 21st century would bring so they probably either sold their 60s car to a new owner and God knows what that 2nd owner did or trade it in for a new car during that era. Many people who found old, original classic Chevrolet like the 64 Impala for example, would restore it nicely and have it appraised at $50,000 or more. With that being said, do y'all think that in the future, will a 1999-2006 Silverado truck be worth alot of money if original or restored?

If so, by how much and does a healthy lifestyle gives you better shooting results?

I love the 800 series GM full size truck platforms they were the best made and lasted almost 9 years in production (since early 1998 i presume) and it holds great value. Whats interesting is that all its counterparts in SUVs, they retain the same interior parts like dash, door panels, and steering wheel. Parts for this truck are so plentiful and affordable, also in my opinion they are economical trucks in the long run, since they don't drain your bank account in ownership. i have an 07 Silverado classic 4.3 GMT800 ext. cab truck and it drives better than a new truck. Oil level is consistently the same as in initial fill until replacement, a/c is ice cold, truck starts up everytime, and I hardly spend a dime on it for any major shop repairs on a yearly average. I'm proud of my GMT800 pickup. Y'all can keep the 2014 and newer Silverado deathtraps lol

Is this possible to do on an 03-07 GMT800 truck with W/T trim? That's what I have and it doesn't have that option, but then again, I haven't torn into the back yet.

GMT800 are the BEST overall Chevy truck made..My opinion.
