I have a 2005 5.3 Silverado currently and prior to that owned a 2000 Z71.
What is the fuel economy on these like?
16/18 MPG
Common problems?
oil consumption
sealed hubs going bad around 120k
blower motor resistor melting
EVAP system throwing a check engine light
How long do the engines last for?
depends on how you maintain it, possibly 250k and over if taken care of
What are common rust spots?
Seam welds on rear doors, rear wheelwells, rocker panels

What's that black sludge? Should I be worried about that red fluid? It was really clean.
Thanks.

something is definitely leaking..that black sludge is some kind of oil residue or grease..its not from topping off the fluid..is the oil pan showing signs of seepage?
i can take a shot of the underside of my 05 and its clean as a whistle..
