A Better 1998′s Model: The 1999 Chevrolet K3500 LS
As time has gone by several things can be said about the Chevrolet K3500 series: including the strong reaction most buyers have towards their truck. The 8-cylinder engine is at the core of the strong emotions, it is reliable for its class and delivers a huge amount of torque.
Performance
The K3500 LS is equipped with a General Motors 6.5 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
The 1999 K3500's traditional fuel system runs on diesel. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 25.00 gallons.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The K3500 has power-assisted brakes, with 2-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. The truck uses torsion bar front springs and leaf in the rear.
K3500 LS Statistics
The K3500 is 189.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 75.20 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 111.20 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.
The listed retail price in 1999 (MSRP) was $22,125, with an invoice cost of $20,023. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Cab & Chassis.
The standard warranty period for the K3500 is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36 months or 36,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the cab & chassis market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.
Fuel Efficiency
The K3500 LS received a miles-per-gallon rating of sixteen in-city driving and twenty when it came to long-distance. Being a diesel-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.
Conclusion
The 1999 model year was unsuccessful for the Chevrolet K3500. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the LS version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
