Used 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE 3dr Extended Cab SB (4.8L 8cyl naturally aspired 4A) Consumer Reviews
Great Truck, just won't stop!
This is one heck of an awesome truck. I've loved it from the day I bought it and still love it today. It has been a work truck from the day I took it home, and after 170,000 miles it still is going strong. Love the reliability of it, never have to worry about that. I find it a little wierd but I have never had to change anything, or even touch the brakes, and they still look great, I was told this was b/c of the 4 Wheel ABS/Disc system. I own the 4.8L V8 model and get "great" gas mileage for a full size V8 truck, especially loaded with tools. 15 city, and 21 hwy. These number came with the help of some aftermarket parts, like K&N filter, & better plugs and wires. I hope you enjoy yours.
Nice truck
I like my truck. Pretty good gas mileage for a V-8 (about 18-21 city and 22-24 highway). Comfy ride. A few problems with the rear driveline. Had to replace both u-joints about 6 months ago and now it is squeaking and clanking again. Rear axle probably needs to be rebuilt. 3-rd door is nice, but back seat as a little smaller than I'd like. Pretty good power and towing capabilities. Heater is bad- not very warm and I have to put it on high to even feel any air flow.

Excellent ride, good power. Replaced alternator at 42,000. Bad alternator caused leakage from battery, causing the replacement of battery and positive battery cable had deteriorated. Dealership charged me an arm and leg to replace ($1000). Also had problems with accelerator sticking at 40,000. Replaced emergency brake at 29,000.
2000 SLE Ext Cab 3 door
I have 73k miles on this truck and not one complaint. Excellent ride, quiet as a tomb inside. Other than replacing tires and changing oil I haven't spent a dime on major repairs. Paint still nice and shiny after 3 years of outside parking. No squeaks, pops, or groans. I've replaced two driving lamp bulbs in 3 years. Also, there's a fuse that controls the ignition that has blown twice. All this has cost me a whopping $21. Definately a keeper.

Good solid dependable truck, over 60K miles with no major problems. Have had a few noises over the 3.5 yrs- belt noise or pulley chatter or steering noise but either it self- corrects or I get used to it. Emerg. brake was replaced at 35K. Stock tires lasted fine until 60K. Plenty of power with 5.3L engine. Up to 20 mpg hwy below 70 mph. 15 mpg or less in city traffic.
