Common problems and easy repairs on a 2015 Silverado 1500

The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT is a moderately difficult car to maintain but may be a good fit for those more experienced with car repair. For instance, you will need to remove the entire air filter housing in order to access the headlights on the passenger’s side, which is a lengthy process. The whole glove box housing will need to be removed in order to access the cabin air filter, which will be quite cumbersome to maneuver around. The battery will also be time-consuming to replace, as its bracket and parts of its sway bar may prove difficult to access.

But convolution isn’t an overbearing problem for the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT. For example, its flog light can be accessed by simply reaching behind the front bumper. Its transmission dipstick can also be found quickly and removed without hassle. Same goes for is brake fluid reservoir, which has very open access.
