Looking for a 2002 Silverado 2500HD for Sale - Any Recommendations?

Totally agree! I also suggest looking into the transmission fluid. It can get neglected and lead to costly repairs.

My brother used to have one, and he mentioned some issues with the steering gear. Definitely something to look out for when buying.

That’s interesting! Steering issues can be annoying. Did he manage to fix it or trade it in?

He ended up trading it for something newer. It’s good advice to inspect the steering before purchase.

I actually have a 2002 model, and it’s still going strong! I think consistent maintenance is the secret.

I stick to the basics: regular oil changes, tire rotations, and a seasonal check-up on the coolant system. It makes a big difference!

I’ve seen people complain about rust problems too. How do you keep it from rusting? Any good products you recommend?

I use a good wax and wash it regularly. Plus, I park it in the garage when I can. It helps protect against the elements!

True! It’s all about finding the right one and staying on top of maintenance - that’s what matters most.

Couldn’t agree more! And hey, if you find a good deal, let us know! I’m curious what kind of prices they’re going for these days.

I’ve been looking into the performance enhancements for the 2002 Silverado 2500HD, and upgrading the exhaust system really makes a difference! More power and better sound!

That’s a great point! I’ve heard that a cold air intake can also help with performance! Anyone tried it?

That sounds awesome! What size tires did you go with?

I went with 35s on my Silverado after adding the leveling kit. It looks beastly! Just be careful about rubbing when turning.

Don’t forget about interior upgrades! A nice set of seat covers and maybe a new stereo system can really bring your truck’s interior to life.

Good call! I’m considering some custom floor mats to match my aesthetic! Anyone have recommendations?

I’ve always been a fan of WeatherTech mats. They fit perfectly and are super durable!

Why are people spending so much on these upgrades? It’s still a 2002 model at the end of the day. Just depends on what you want, right?

I think it’s about personal preference. Plus, it makes it unique, which is what many of us want.
