From the daily commute to hauling stuff
back from the home improvement store to making the most of every weekend,
when it comes to getting things done, one truck has certainly made a name
for itself- Silverado. The Right Truck. From Chevy.
From its selection of proven Vortec engines to its available Allison
transmission to its wide selection of cab and bed configurations, and the
new Half-ton Crew there is a Silverado capable of handling almost any
task. Chevy Silverado delivers exactly what you’d expect from a Chevy
Truck- the most dependable, longest-lasting trucks on the road.*
*Dependability based on longevity: 1981-July 2002 full-line light-duty
truck company registrations. Excludes other GM divisions.
What is VORTEC?

The name "Vortec" originated in the 1986 4.3L V-6 engine that used "vortex
technology" to create a vortex inside the combustion chamber. GM
Powertrain engineers incorporated this phenomenon into their engines to
achieve a better air-to-fuel mixture in the combustion process. The result
is what has now developed into Vortec engines -- engines that are designed
to deliver plenty of horsepower without sacrificing fuel efficiency. While
the technology has evolved over time, the design philosophy remains the
same. Vortec engines deliver both power and efficiency, all in a
low-maintenance, durable package.

forerunner of today's Allison Transmission. From those beginnings, the
company has become the world leader in the design, manufacture and sales
of automatic transmissions for trucks, buses, off-road and military
vehicles. As we enter the 21st century, Allison Transmission retains
its rich legacy of technological innovation, product quality and employee
dedication. These qualities have made the company a world leader
throughout its more than 85 year history.
