2000 Chevrolet W4500 problems

The Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick are a range of medium-duty trucks that were produced by the Chevrolet and GMC divisions of General Motors from 1980 to 2009. Introduced as a variant of the medium-duty C/K truck line, three generations were produced. Slotted between the C/K trucks and the GMC Brigadier Class 8 conventional, the Kodiak/TopKick were developed as a basis for vocationally oriented trucks, including cargo haulers, dump trucks, and similar vehicles; on later generations, both cutaway and cowled-chassis variants were produced for bus use.

Following years of declining market share, General Motors (in line with Ford Motor Company) sought to exit heavy-truck manufacturing. After struggling to enter joint ventures or sell the rights to its product line, the company ended production of the Kodiak and TopKick in 2009. The final medium-duty truck, a GMC TopKick 5500, rolled out of Flint Truck Assembly on July 31, 2009.

For the 2019 model year, after a ten-year hiatus, General Motors re-entered the conventional medium-duty truck segment. Developed in a joint venture with Navistar International, the Chevrolet Silverado 4500/5500 is a Class 4–6 vehicle. Slightly smaller than the Kodiak/Topkick, the Silverado 4500/5500 is marketed exclusively as a Chevrolet (with no GMC counterpart).

Based on the information provided in the sources, here are common problems with the Chevrolet W4500 2000 based on complaints from owners:

  • Wheel Bearing Hub Locking Bolts: Another common problem involves loose left rear wheel bearing hub locking bolts. This issue affects vehicle control and braking performance, posing a risk of a crash. Owners have reported concerns about the wheel assembly moving outward from the axle housing, impacting vehicle stability.
  • Throttle Pedal Sticking: In some cases, the throttle pedal may get stuck under the steel stopper bolt, causing it to remain in the full throttle position. This issue can lead to high vehicle speeds and difficulty in stopping the vehicle, potentially resulting in accidents. Resolving this problem involves replacing the stopper bolt with a flanged plate to prevent lateral movement of the throttle.

These common problems with the Chevrolet W4500 2000 highlight various issues related to running performance, throttle system malfunctions, wheel assembly concerns, and throttle pedal sticking. Addressing these issues promptly through proper diagnosis and repairs is crucial to ensure the safety and optimal functioning of the vehicle.
