THIS IS A VERY GOOD RUNNING EVERYDAY DRIVEN CHEVY SILVERADO 4 X 4 PICKUP. MAINTAINED EVERY 3000 MILES OIL AND LUBE. IT IS DUE IN 1200 MILES FOR THE SERVICE AND ON THIS SERVICE AIR FILTERS NEED CHECKED. I WILL DESCRIBE EVRYTHING I KNOW AND HONESTLY AS I CAN. REMEMBER IT IS A 1997 WITH 189,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS NOT PERFECT BUT BEYOND RELIABLE. I RUN IT EVERY DAY. THIS TRUCK DOES NOT USE OIL OR BURN IT. I HAVE BABIED IT ALL ALONG. WE USE THIS TRUCK TO PULL A 28'CAMPE R AND DOES IT WITH EASE AND PLENTY OF POWER. IT IS THE VORTEC 5.7 AND RUNS SOLID AND SOUNDS GREAT, ESPECIALLY UNDER A PULL. IT HAS STREET TIRES ON IT AND HAVE NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD EXCEPT CAMPING. THE TRANNY AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ARE SMOOTH. ALSO IT DOES HAVE OD. I HAVE NEVER USED OD WHEN PULLING ONLY WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A BIT OF RUST BELOW THE DRIVERS DOOR AS ALL CHEVY'S GET. NOT MAJOR, JUST A FACT. THE SEAL ON THE INNER PANEL AGAINST DRIVERS WINDOW IS MISSING. DUAL EXHAUST ALL THE WAY BACK OUT THE REAR ALSO SOLID. IT HAS THE TOW PACKAGE MAKING THIS A HEAVY HALF AND IT IS STIFF WITHOUT A LOAD ON IT. THE BED IS SOLID AND FREE OF HOLES ALSO TO BE KNOWN THE COVER DOES GO WITH THE TRUCK, THERE ARE A COUPLE BUMPS AND SCRAPES ON THE OLE BODY NOTHING MAJOR. AGAIN, JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW. THE INTERIOR NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING AS I HAVE NOT DONE IT SINCE CAMPING HAS ENDED, BUT WILL DO A SWEEP AND CLEAN BEFORE YOU GET IT. THERE IS A TEAR ON THE OVERHEAD LINER THAT I DID PICTURE IT WAS THERE WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK. THE AC DOES NOT WORK THINKING IT IS THE DASH SWITCHES IT IS ALL UNDER THE HOOD BUT THE SWITCHES HAVE A ISSUE GOING FROM FLOOR TO DASH DO NOT KNOW WHY. BUT THE HEATER WILL COOK YOU OUT OF IT. I NEVER REALLY WORRIED ABOUT AC. ON THE DASH THERE ARE 2 LIGHTS ALWAYS ON THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT AND A AIR BAG LIGHT. WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE KEY ACTIVATED PASSENGER SIDE THAT CAUSED THIS I REALLY DO NOT KNOW. UPON ITS NEXT SERVICE THE FRONT DISC PADS NEED CHANGED AND IF NOT SOLD I WILL BE DOING IT THE REAR BRAKES ARE FINE. THE TIRES ARE 70% AND WILL LAST A LONG TIME. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME BUT I NEED A BIGGER ONE FOR MY NEW CAMPER AND IT HAS TO GO. I ALSO PICTURED THE DRIVERS DOOR WHERE THE LIGHT GOES IT FELL OFF AND I RAN OVER IT AND JUST DID NOT REPLACE IT. POWER WINDOWS LOCKS AND MIRRORS ALL WORK ALSO HAS A REMOTE STARTER FOR THOSE COLD MORNINGS JUST REMEMBER TO TURN THE HEATER ON HIGH WHEN YOU PARK. IT DOES NOT REACH A LONG DISTANCE BUT FROM MY FRONT DOOR TO THE TRUCK IT HAS ALWAYS FIRED IT UP. REMEBER FOLKS IT IS A 97 AND ISSUES MAY ARRISE BUT DO NOT FORSEE ANY IF IT IS TREATED LIKE A 97 AND NOT ABUSED. I HAVE SAID EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF AND IF I MISSED SOMETHING IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE JUST A HUMAN ERROR AND I AM HUMAN AND HAVE MISSED A THING OR 2 IN MY LIFE. PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR EMAIL I WILL TELL YOU ONLY WHAT I KNOW. I DO NOT HAVE TO SELL IT SO REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU MAKE A OFFER AND THAT BRINGS ME TO THIS. DO NOT MAKE A OFFER IF YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT IT OR CANT AFFORD IT SELLING A VEHICLE ON EBAY IS EXPENSIVE AND IT TAKES TIME TO RECOVER THE SELLING FEES. THAT BRINGS ME TO THIS, PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK PRIOR TO SENDING A OFFER I WILL NOT JUST GIVE IT AWAY. IT IS A GOOD OLD TRUCK AND WILL LAST A LONG TIME. I AM MAKING THE DEPOSIT NON REFUNDABLE FOR BUYERS REMORSE BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING 240-442-6464
