Modern trucks, including the Silverado, seem to come with absolutely everything you would want from a truck. Plenty of room, all the gadgets you could dream of, and let’s not forget tons of power. The only problem is they seem to rely too much on engine codes to let us know what’s wrong. This does work for many situations, but the problem is they don’t tell us what’s wrong until something goes wrong.

By using the gauges properly, you can get a good idea of what’s happening under the hood at all times. They may also provide you with the correct cues to act upon an upcoming issue before it’s too late.
