2000 Chev k2500

[Northland Sportsman]

I am looking at buying a 2000 chev 3/4 ton ext. cab 4x4. Any opinions on this truck besides the chev vs. ford vs. dodge debate. I am looking for any positive or negative experiences and common problems from anybody that works on vehicles. Anything to look for or be ceareful of? I think it has about 127k for mileage. Thanks for any input in advance.

What motor?

Fuel pumps, pressure regulators, intake gaskets, a/c compressors, Auto 4wd switches, multifunction swithes, Front end parts, Rear u-joints, Front axle seals, and catalytic converters to name a few. With that many miles all of these should have been dealt with at some point so you may be in good shape. Used vehicles are always a dump shoot. Some times you win some times you loose.

thanks for the post airjer. I had heard about some of those issues which is part of the reason for my post. It has the 6.0L engine I believe. Additional input is appreciated. Thanks!

I don't see the 6.0 to often. I couldn't tell you if any of the above is common with that motor or not.

I just traded my 2001 2500 off and had very little trouble with it. It had about 128k on it. It was a good truck. Had to trade it off for a crew cab since there is a little one on the way. It pulled anything I wanted and the mileage was what you would expect out of a 6.0 liter, pulling 10-12, and normal 13-16. Good truck in my opinion.

My dad had a 99 with the 6.0. Great truck over all, the only issue he had was the fuel pump went around 80K. If you pick it up, enjoy the power!

Thanks for the replys. I decided not to get the truck as it had a plow and 5th wheel hitch and appeared well used. The price never came down to where I thought it should be either. Thanks anyway, great to get feedback like this.

I just bought a 2000 K3500, but I have the glorious 5.7l.
