So, I got myself a 2002 Chevy Express 1500 and man, there are a few things that can drive you nuts. First off, the engine really likes to throw tantrums. Mine started coughing and sputtering out of nowhere. Wasn’t exactly sure what was up but ended up being an issue with the fuel pump. It’s gotta be one of the most common problems I’ve seen.
And check this, the transmission can be a real pain too. It feels like it doesn’t want to shift properly. Don’t ask me why, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on. The brakes? They don’t feel super responsive sometimes. Could be a fluid issue or maybe the rotors.
And ya know, the electrical stuff can be sketchy too. Lights flicker, and the radio can quit on ya. It happens more often than I’d like. But hey, once you get it sorted it’s pretty solid. What about others? Any similar stories? Have you had issues with the cooling system? Mine’s acting weird sometimes, leaks a bit. Not sure what the deal with that is.
I’ve got a 2002 Chevy Express 1500 here in Texas, and man, it’s a mixed bag. The cooling system’s been a pain, dead batteries more often than I like to admit, and the transmission holds its own, but recently been acting up. The back brakes too—getting mushy after just a bit of heavy use. Anyone else had the same fights with these beauties? They do haul heavy stuff, though!

I had a '02 Chevy Express 1500 up in Pennsylvania—odd headlight issues, man. The brakes felt sketchy too, like they’d pack up on ya. Suspension was a bear, especially on the highways. The engine ran alright, but it sure wasn’t a smooth cruise. Anyone else run into these quirks?
I’ve been ownin’ a ‘02 Chevy Express 1500 here in Detroit and let me tell ya, it’s had its share of quirks. The electrical system is super flaky—I’m talkin’ about lights cuttin’ out, and the suspension got ideas of its own. But with a lil’ love and maintenance, it’s a reliable beast on the road. Keepin’ it honest, though!
I’ve owned a '02 Chevy Express outta Atlanta for years. Gotta say, the transmission’s been a real pain, often wanted to kick it. Electrical gremlins too, trust me. Battery’s been dropping like flies. Also, the fuel gauge’s quirky, sits on random numbers. Had buddies in Canada with same beefs, talk about global trend, eh?
I’ve had my share with these trucks on the East Coast. Battery issues are real, and that engine knocking drives me nuts. A lot of folks in Pennsylvania complain 'bout the transmission too. Had to swap out brakes b4 winter hit. Tough hauler, but needs TLC!
I’ve driven the '02 Chevy Express 1500 in Ohio, and man, those old engines aren’t always reliable. Noticed a ton of folks with transmission issues. I’ve also heard vibes about the roof leaking if it’s old or under repair. Rust can be a nasty surprise too, especially round the wheel wells. But if you keep an eye on maintenance, it’s not all bad. Some folks swear by them for towing!
I’ve had my fair share of runs in a '02 Chevy Express 1500 here in Florida, and let me tell ya, the brake system is a major headache. I’ve replaced pads a ton, and the fuel pump gives you grief too—felt like drinking gas instead of gasoline once. The speakers are a joke, probably from the factory. Gotta watch the wiring if you’re into DIY. Driving one’s a lot of work, but still holds up!
I’ve had mine for years around Detroit, and the axle bits give me too many headaches! One minute it’s fine, next thing, it’s throwing temp spikes like a mad hoss. My buddy’s in Toronto, he’s had the same drama—oh boy, that dip stick twist ain’t my fav. Plus, it’s gotta oil change dance more than any bride! 
Oil leaks too, leaks up a storm like Santa’s sleigh!
I’ve got a 2002 Chevy Express 1500 up here in Alberta, Canada, and man, the engine issues are wild. The timing belt, just snap! Costed me a fortune to fix it proper. Have y’all been dealing with smelly oil and tranny failures? Guess it’s a common headache. 
I’ve had my share with a 2002 Chevy Express 1500 here in Texas. The engine light pops up like crazy! I’ve heard issues with the ignition switch too—keeps going kaput in this heat! It’s a workhorse alright, but needs babying now and then. Anyone else fightin’ with the clutch? Just mine bein’ finicky lately!!
(Note: Always consult a mechanic for serious vehicle issues.)
I’ve had trouble with the fuel pump on my 2002 Chevy Express 1500 up in Vermont. Coilpack issues are another headache, lots of friends have the same probs up north. Maintenance a must!
I’ve dealt with my fair share of issues with the '02 Chevy Express 1500 up here in Canada. Regular oil changes are a must, or you’ll face engine wear issues. Had some tranny drama too – had it rebuilt because the fluid would light up like fireworks! Brakes and suspension too – they kinda gave out after a few chilly winters. Just brace yourself for a few surprises!
I’ve had my share with the 2002 Chevy Express 1500 up here in St. Louis – loved it for hauling, but man, the transmission was a nightmare! Had it checked endless times – outta nowhere, it would slip like crazy. And don’t get me started on those electrical gremlins; the dashboard lights flickering even on a calm day was wild. Had it for years though, and still a reliable beast for the heavy loads. Anyone else had similar worries?
I’ve got this 2002 Chevy Express 1500 out in Cali, and it’s been a ride, let me tell ya! The transmission’s been dancin’ on the fritz - had to switch it out already. Also, GVWR’s always tripping me up, nearly axed a rear axle once - annoying! Plus, the brakes been spongy like nothin’ else. Just keep an eye out for these champs of trouble, ya know! #ChevyLife
I lived in Texas & the 2002 Chevy Express 1500 had a finicky AC and tranny issues. Engine’s weak too, but hauls great when it runs! Upkeep’s a must, trust me.
I’ve got a '02 Chevy Express in Toronto—mighty tricky with the electrical system. Keeps blowing fuses, especially the AC compressor. Suspension issues too; hits every pothole like it’s a launch pad. Heard worse though. Have you had any gremlins under the hood?
I’ve owned a 2002 Chevy Express 1500 upstate New York, and the head gaskets were a nightmare! Had 'em replaced twice in five years. Also, the electrical issues are a pain—lights flicker like crazy! No joke!
