Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chevrolet Silverado?
I like almost everything about the truck except the fuel cap problem.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Silverado?
The fuel cap problem - It keeps telling me to tighten the fuel cap which I did. I even replaced it with a new one. I took it to the dealer and they said there was a line with a sensor that was at the back of the truck that needed to be changed to the front in order to correct the problem -$300.00 to correct. I asked if the sensor could be change and left where it was and they said it had to be moved to the front they GM would not let them leave it where it was and that GM would not warranty it we had to pay for it. I would think if GM knows it's a problem and it has to be move they would cover it as a warranty item and not make it a consumer problem.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chevrolet Silverado?
Gas mileage is good. Towing preformance is very good. Handles heavy load very well. Price was reasonable, bought it new. Roomy interior. Over all I really like the truck.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Silverado?
I would put a fold down arm rest in all model trucks and put a better grade tire on them.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado Review:
Two problems with my truck. I had to replace the tires on the truck 12000 miles. Threads were good, but were spining on wet pavement from day one and were terrible in the snow.I belive the tires were Goodyear Wranglers must have been their bottom line tire. Now have Firestone tires and have no problem. Also, Very disapointed that the steering shaft went bad with 23000 mi. Had to pay to get it fixed. Warrenty ran out 4/08 fixed 12/08.Good thing I didn't get in a crash. Seems like a manufacturing problem.Where's the recall on this part? Lets hope no one gets injured!!!

Have had it to the dealer twice for steering box problems. Now at $28,000 needs all 4 rotors and brake pads. We are told that we don't drive it enough and that it caused a problem with the disc brakes. The rotors are rusty and disintegrating. Rusted parts in Colorado, it's unheard of!!!!
