Horse Newbie 6,855 #55 Posted April 1, 2018 I got a 98 Z71 Silverado, 263,065 miles. Those 5.7 Vortec engines seem to be great from that time period. I know Chevy sold a heap of them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think 1999 or 2000 was the last year for that motor, next was the 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engine was never a problem but the rest of it is breaking down so it needs to go. Nice truck Mike, but for that kind of money you could've had me build you a custom Wheel Horse tractor instead! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,295 #58 Posted April 1, 2018 I have a 2000 Silverado I bought in Nov of 99 with the 5.3 vortex. The only real problem i had was the suspension was too soft for towing my camper so i had an air lift system installed and never had any more problems. It has 265k on it and the clear coat is peeling and since I'm only a few years from retirement I'm thinking of replacing it with a 2015 or in that price range z71 next summer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,256 #59 Posted April 1, 2018 Nice truck, although I am more of a Ford guy myself. I would love to have a new F350, but just can't see spending that much money on a new truck, I just keep driving and fixing the old ones. Picked this 2003 Silverado up for a steal a couple weeks ago, and it's the newest thing I've ever owned, of course I kept my old trusty 89 F250 for the heavy duty jobs, but the 5.3 is so much easier on gas for road trips than the big 460 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
