Hey Fellas,

Thanks to Ford's ****ty 5.4L 3V triton, I just bought my first chevy. I bought a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 Classic 4WD with about 70,000 miles with the 5.3L L59 and 4 speed automatic transmission.

The reason I'm posting is that I've been a Ford man all my life, and I haven't ever worked on a chevy before nor do I know the common issues associated with them. I'm hoping you guys can fill me in on any common problems/issues with this year and model of pickup. I'm looking for tips on things to look out for or be sure to maintenance regularly (ex. change spark plugs by xx,xxx miles or else you'll throw them through the hood - ford issue; or expect to overhaul transmission by xxx,xxx miles).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you for your time.
