My 1998 GMC Z-71 pickup was absolutely the best vehicle ever. Despite a couple of minor problems such as wiper motor replaced twice, intake manifold cooling hose attachment, right front running/low beam light working intermittently, and the steering wheel peeling after a few months, there were no problems other than normal maintenance. I sold the vehicle at 222,252 miles and it still used no oil. Not even any rattles at that mileage level. Great job!

Reliable truck with plenty of hauling power. Comfortable interior. Had to address small transmission leaks and rotors had to be replaced at 60,000 mi. but other than that I am happy with it. Never stranded me even in -30 degree weather.

Purchase truck at 40k. I now have 110k on this vehicle. Replace the tranny 10k ago. Replace intake manifold gasket, corroded hose connection twice. Other typical consumable items have been replaced. I was a little disappointed with the transmission replacement but otherwise the truck runs great and takes quite a beating.
Still Going!

DON’t PAY ATTENTION TO THE TRUCK MODEL MY YEAR Trim is not even listed. It’s a 97 extended cabXLT. Basically, leather, w a 350 TBI and Vortec heads. (Amazing )First year 3 door. (Whet jackass decided that putting you kids in opposite the driver was clever?) Take a life sciences class bro! Typical Chevy paint flaking issues, dash cracked out, leather seats split, headliner drooping…. Runs like a champ. Minus the Dr side power seat, new ac compressor, and alternator, (and normal stuff.ie battery) this truck is amazing. I will be doing a complete overhaul after 25, and letting my kids enjoy the next 25
