Consumer Review Video - 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD LT 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel Crew Cab Pickup (4 Door)
The 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD LT is a difficult vehicle to maintain. A large panel, the grille, the wheel well lining, and multiple fasteners will need to be removed in order to access the headlights, which does not allow for reliable bulb changes. The lower radiator hose must be used to drain the radiator coolant instead of a petcock, which is a problematic set-up. The center brake light requires more maintenance over time than its LED counterparts on similar models, and accessing it is rather tedious.
However, the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD LT has its upsides. The brake fluid reservoir is simple to access, so refilling it shouldn’t be a problem. The transmission fluid dipstick is quick to find and simple to read, allowing you to easily check its fluid levels. Both fuse boxes are quick to find with covers that are easy to remove, allowing you to reliably troubleshoot electrical problems.
