One thing we hear a lot around here at your Chevy dealership is folks wondering which Silverado fits them best. So, we figured we'd break it down and make it easier to find the one that's right for you. more Engine Options and Power Chevy gives you four engine options for the Silverado 1500: a 310-hp 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four, a 305-hp 3.0-liter Duramax diesel inline-six (offers the best gas mileage and torque), a 355-hp 5.3-liter V8, and a 420-hp 6.2-liter V8. The 2.7-liter comes with an eight-speed automatic, while the rest are matched to Chevy's smooth-shifting ten-speed transmission. The 2500 HD's engine options are much simpler: a 6.6-liter gas V8 with 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque or a Duramax 6.6-liter turbo diesel V8 that puts out 470 hp and a massive 975 lb-ft of torque. The legendary Allison ten-speed automatic comes standard with the Duramax and is available with the gas engine. Towing Depending on how you spec it, the Silverado 1500 can tow anywhere from 8,700 to 13,300 pounds. The highest tow rating comes from the 3.0-liter diesel paired with either the Double Cab or Crew Cab, both with a short bed and 2WD. The off-road-focused ZR2 trim, available as short bed 4WD with either the diesel or the gas V8, has the lowest towing capacity in the lineup. To unlock the Silverado 2500 HD's max 22,420-pound towing capacity, you'll need the regular cab, long bed, 2WD, Duramax engine, Max Trailering Package, and a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch. If you go with the most basic setup, i.e., the 2.7-liter engine, 17-inch wheels, standard tow hitch, and your choice of bed, drive system, and cab, you're still looking at a respectable 14,500 pounds of towing muscle. Daily Use The Silverado 1500 is designed for everyday driving. It's got an independent coil-over-shock front suspension, which means it doesn't crash over bumps or jiggle your coffee every time you hit a pothole. It's also easier to climb into, gentler at the pump, and a lot friendlier in parking lots. On the other hand, the 2500 HD is built for good old hard work. Its multi-leaf rear springs shine when there's serious weight in the back, but when it's empty, the ride can feel a bit stiff. But that's the tradeoff for a truck that's always ready to roll up its sleeves and get to work. Capability comes standard, no matter which Silverado you choose.

Problems with your car's transmission can affect your vehicle's performance and safety, so it's important to get transmission service as soon as you realize there could be something wrong. Your Chevy dealership is the best place to go for any service and repairs you need, so let's take a look at some of the signs that it's time to pay us a visit. more 1. There's Grinding or Shaking When Changing Gears Your vehicle shouldn't react to gear changes by shaking, and you definitely shouldn't feel any grinding during gear changes. They should always be seamless. If your car grinds, shakes, or does anything else unusual during gear changes, then your transmission needs a checkup. 2. There's No Response When You Change Gears Your car should respond immediately when you change gears, allowing you to drive the moment you switch your car out of park, for example. If your car refuses to let you drive at all, or if it takes several seconds before your car lets you drive after you change gears, then you likely have a problem with your transmission system. Your car can be unresponsive or have delayed responsiveness when changing from any one gear to another, but it's particularly common when switching from park to drive. 3. There's Revving During a Gear Change If your engine revs when you change gears, but it doesn't accelerate, then you have a slipping transmission. This is also known as your car slipping gears. You'll also notice it's harder to control your vehicle, almost like your wheels have no traction on the road, and you're driving on pure ice. When your car slips gears, controlling the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration becomes challenging, making driving dangerous. 4. There's a Transmission Fluid Leak Various fluids can leak out of your car, so learn to identify your vehicle's different fluids. This lets you know which fluid is leaking if you see a puddle of something near the car. That information is helpful when getting service, as it helps our technicians narrow down the problem with your car. If you spot red or brown fluid under or near your car, then it's probably transmission fluid. Transmission fluid may also be pink and foamy if your transmission is damaged. Any of the signs above should prompt you to visit the dealer ASAP. Come get your car checked out at Chevrolet of Santa Fe in Santa Fe, NM.
