yo, was messing with my 02 chevy silverado 2500hd and got a few things figured out. first up, the transmission. my buddy and i were driving and it started slipping like crazy. had to replace it completely. it’s a common pain point for this model. anyone else had that issue?
the alternator too. it kept dying on me. had to swap it out myself. i heard from some friends that electrical gremlins are no strangers to the silverado. anyone else had random crap with the electrical issues? but then again, you just get used to it.
and isn’t it funny how the serpentine belt always lets you down? had to replace it a few times. just my luck, you know? but what’s everyone’s take on the cooling system? mine act like they’re gonna give up on us.
anyone else with these probs? kinda wondering if it’s just me or the truck is really temperamental. let me know thx
