TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN THE CHEVY SILVERADO MIGHT QUALIFY YOUR SILVERADO AS A LEMON
The Chevy Silverado was first introduced as a light-duty pickup truck in 1999. The C/K pickups, which the Silverado was meant to replace, continued in production through 1999 and 2000 for light-duty models and heavy-duty models, respectively.
It’s believed that the Silverado is named after the town of Silverado, California or, possibly, the nearby Silverado canyon.
The town’s name is a bit of a Spanglish portmanteau, mixing the English word silver, which was once mined in the area, with the Spanish place name El Dorado, which refers to the mythical city of gold.
