2003 Silverado's


Recommended Posts

I haven't seen/heard much other than the front end change.  The only thing GM could do that would make me trade that soon would be to offer the 6.0L as an option for the 1500 (not HD)!!   :)

 

Wishful thinking, I'm sure!!

I've said this before and nobody listened to me, but I will say it again anyways.  Do not go look at the Avalanche to get an idea on what the redesigned front-end will look like.  Just go take a look at the Trailblazer and redesigned G-vans....

the day they go radical is the day i start to build my own truck

I've seen a picture of the 2003 Silverado...........but I cant remember where!!!!!  :)  :D  I think I stumbled across it while I was looking for pictures of the SmarTruck.  I'll keep looking though.  It does look like the Trailblazer, with a slightly larger bowtie and wider horizontal middle grill thingie  :)

you keep saying that, but you won't provide us w/ any pics.  C'mon man, we're visual people here.

Just visualize this front end on the Silverado.  Thats as close to a pic as I'm gonna give ya.  That is unless you want to take a quick trip to the Detroit area, then you could see one for yourself.....

As for you guys complaining about going to another brand if GM goes too radical, consider this.  Its about 5 months before the 03 model year change-over, so these restyled trucks are out there running around.  You can be sure of that.  How many actual pictures of this redesign have you seen?  Ya think that might be a sign it isn't a huge departure from the current design, since nobody seems to be noticing it?  Just a thought.

 

I think a changeover to a frontend similar to the Trailblazer would be a huge step forward.  I personally think the LD Silverado frontend is too bland.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
