TEGGSRB18C1's 2000 Silverado Z71 revival thread
Hey guys, just making this journal for myself and if anyone else cares. I just bought a house and quickly realized my need for a truck. My Dad has been retired for a few years now and offered me his 2000 Silverado Z71 that he has owned since day one back in 1999. He has a small car now so this has been sitting, unmoved for the past 2 years.
This truck has been a staple in my life, I've borrowed this thing so many times and worked on it with my Dad so many times. I jumped at the chance to own it. She's rough, 146K miles and every common issue known to the GMT800 community is here and accounted for.
It runs poorly. Throwing P0300 codes and stumbling on its face, especially when in gear. Brake line leaking right under the master cylinder, brake rotors completely rusted and pitted but it runs, it moves....very unhappily. It had to be towed to my house about an hour away.
The first few photos are from where it has sat for fast few years, the last few are post delivery and a quick garden hose single bucket wash. Work will start shortly as to why she has such a hard miss and cleaning things up a bit. Enjoy the rust and hit me with your best HOSS/BARB lines.
