One problem related to power train has been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This truck has been a nightmare concerning all aspects of braking system. First at 44,000 abs sensors needed to be replaced, then at 53,400 all 4 new rotors and pads all the way around, 82,000 miles parking brake needs replaced, 81,000 front axle seal leaking, then at approximately 88,000 miles brake lines pops with trailer attached. Truck is towed to garage only to find that brake lines are rusty and popped. All lines were supposed to be replaced total cost over $1,000. At 96,600 need front rotors and rear brakes, at 126,00 need rear rotors and front brakes and 1 original brake line from rear to front and right front that never was replaced. Cost 268. 00. Used different garages for work and both have had trouble replacing hydraulic lines and one is a state inspection station. Braking system has cost me a fortune and I will not buy another chevy due to high repair cost. Truck was not neglected and serviced regularly. Had to replace transmission at 114,000 miles which left me stranded once again.
