I have a white 05 Extended cab Silverado 1500 2wd. I've got 50,000 Miles on it. It has the 5.3L engine with the towing package and transmission cooler. I have had some issues out of mine, and my buddies 05 3500HD has one of the same issues. The transmission line coming out of the radiatior is prone to leaking at the pressure fitting. Its a $50 part, but it takes a while to change out as it is one fitted line with curves. My rack and pinion also has to be changed. I dont drive this truck hard and I think this is ridiculous. I have quite a bit of play in the wheel and as a result it has caused the rotors to warp and the pads to wear unevenly. In result, i'll be putting new pads, rotors, rack and pinion and a front end alignment for something that should have been a non-issue. The wiper sprayers have been changed twice for a flaw in the design and when I was still under warranty, the Knuckle joint had to be replaced twice....yes twice under 36,000 miles. It tows great though honestly and the engine seems solid, just the other things. Good luck. Thats not a bad price though. I bought mine new in 05 and it was around 30k.
