Carb or computer in a silverado?

A Silverado can have both a carburetor (carb) and a computer. However, it depends entirely on the model year.

* Older Silverados (generally pre-1980s): These trucks almost certainly used carburetors for fuel delivery.

* Newer Silverados (1980s and later): These trucks use electronic fuel injection (EFI) controlled by a computer (Engine Control Module or ECM). There is no carburetor.

Therefore, the answer is neither/or, depending on the year of the Silverado. If you have a specific year, I can give you a more precise answer.
