'99 Silverado, Minor or Major Issues??

[Dawgs007]

I recently bought a '99 Silverado LS 2WD w/ 130k miles for a decent deal and was wondering if any of my issues it has are minor or major.

 

1.) It has what seems to be the slip-yoke clunk... when releasing the brake from a hard stop it has a bit of a jolt then carries on like normal. Doesn't happen from soft stops or anything.

 

2.) It was leaking a small amount of a raspberry reddish/pink liquid from what looked like the back of the motor/front of transmission on the passenger side. Doesn't seem to happen every time. The liquid feels oily but I may be mistaken!

 

3.) Accelerator sticks at the top when idle then going to accelerate (looked up and a simple throttle body cleaning sounds like it will fix?)

 

4.) ABS and Parking Brake lights on dash. Was told by previous owner it was just the ABS sensors needing cleaned/replaced. No big deal? Parking brake appears to work just fine.

 

5.) There seems to be chatter at low speeds coming from behind the wheel/pedals? Seems to be louder while using more brake pressure while slowing down.

 

Just bought the truck for the bed and simple hauling, nothing too heavy duty. Is the truck worth putting the time/money into or are these issues enough where I should maybe sell it and look around more?

 

Thanks in advance guys! I really appreciate it and hope to possibly learn more about my truck!

I'd have a tranny shop look at that leak if you're not the one to crawl under there and see where it's coming from.

 

ABS could be expensive too depending on what it is.

 

The chatter comments are concerning too. Could be related to the tranny problem. They'd be able to tell you for sure.

 

It's a solid truck if you're able to look past those issues. Probably would be good to go for a long time provided it's been cared for well.

Does it sound like it would warrant a transmission replacement? Obviously I wouldn't just do it because a forum said so, but I'd just like to get an idea of what I'm looking at since I just paid for it and now a possible other expense. Thanks!
