This 2002 Chevy Silverado was Built for Speed on the Street and Track | Speed Sensor Chevrolet

Some of the Silverado’s old models also came with issues of poor engine design that made the truck hemorrhage oil and guzzle fuel.

General Motors in 1990 fixed a 7.4-liter V-8 into the 1500 chassis Chevrolet pickup to build this truck. The performance of this truck was exceptional. The engine made a healthy 230-horsepower and 385-lb-ft of torque. Despite these amazing qualities, only a few examples of these trucks were built. The truck also came with some problems which manifested themselves throughout the lifetime of the vehicle including unreliable oil gauges, and issues with sliding rear windows which could either rattle or leak.

(One wonders if the carbon-fiber cargo bed is also a test bed for larger production goals—as another journalist pointed out to me, Ford quietly made the hood of the F-150 from aluminum for years before copping to it, at which point they had just rolled out an entire truck made out of the stuff; whether CarbonPro presages a full carbon-fiber-framed truck—somehow, some way—is an interesting question.)

Another story comes from a gentleman named Mike Saad, who commented on the GM-Trucks.com story about Joe’s incident. Saad’s post shows a dark Colorado with its side airbags deployed after apparently driving on a fire road. He writes:

A: Your hunch is close. If a wheel speed sensor fails, there is insufficient data for the control module. Then it can’t do its job. Sensors do not fail from getting wet, as they are exposed to the elements. The sensor probably did not come off, but a wire or wiring connector could be broken Take your vehicle to your trusty technician for an inspection.

B) On the twisty 2 lane by my brother’s house, I was not going much more than the speed limit, maybe 45 in a 35 in an absolutely minimally populated and minimally driven (at almots midnight) back road. I’d have seen any oncoming cars by their headlights, and I was never entering the oncoming lane, just putting a tire on either the center divider or the edge line to carve a cleaner corner. The system absolutely freaked out about this.

Despite the goodies the Syclone came with some issues which included the frequent failure of the fuel pump that would cause the engine to stall and not start.

And though I’d like to have seen more transfer case fluid and trans changes than what I see in the records, the gearbox fluid was checked a number of times during, as shown in this 1996 receipt:

4. Having a smooth initial throttle application is crucial off-road, and the various riding modes don’t disappoint, especially with a torque-rich engine such as this one. Rolling the throttle on won’t be met with disaster, as riders will quickly come to terms with the 1200—they’ll be reveling in it with roosts of approval.
