Overall I've been fairly easy on this truck but occasionally have hauled very heavy loads. No problems. The smooth ride was a surprise to me. Engine performance is great. Milage is ok if you take it easy, otherwise it uses quite a bit. I think the interior is nice (despite what Edmond's say). It's a nice riding/functional truck. Can't find anything wrong with this truck yet (in almost 2 years).
Wish I bought the Tundra

At 900 mi It was in the shop for clunk/bang/vibration in the drive train. . after several annoying/time consuming attempts. GM bulletin (drive line clunk)#99-04- 02-002A. Not to be confused with the engine clunk/piston slap bul. This truck acts and sounds like the 1996 I sold prior. with 150,000 hard miles. I'm finding out that there are many bulletins and dissatisfied customers with several of the 00/01/02 model yrs. It now has 10000 mi and I'm sorry I ever bought it!!!

My name is Brad and I have owned a 2001 GMC Sierra for a little over a year. The factory warranty has not expired and I have had to take it back to the dealership at least six times. From the seams on the interior ripping to the oxygen sensor going bad twice, this truck has been a real headache. I have the Z71 model and it is the truck I always wanted but after this one I am done with GMC.
the truck that loves to rap and roll

Truck is sharp.Truck makes Rapping Noise starting cold all the time, Now does it when warm, untill op temp. Then ok. Like the day we put out $28K for it. When normal its great. When cold makes my Buds laugh. Myself I want to CRY! Been to the dealer 4 times they say its normal. Why didnt it do it when I bought it. I wouldn't have bought it. GM Customer service told me on the to learn to live with it! I can't believe they said that to me.I think I would not have bought a GM! Its had a cam and lifters also. Body creaks, groans drive line clunk. Do your self a favor dont buy one of these trucks.
sweet truck

All the LS! based engines knock @ startup and seems to be less of an issue as miles add up/mine is 5.3 with towhaul opt.Smooth and tomb like quiet @ 80mph. 3:73 rearend pulls like crazy (I can pull my 24'5500lb boat and tandem trailer with ease. I had dealer send out and install leather in the 40/20/40 split seats(better leather than factory too. Ive driven trucks 35yrs/ Ford150/slverado1500s(the chevy never left me stranded in 200k/ford let me down @ 150k.So far,this is the best one I have ever owned. Try adding an extra quart of oil. 22mpg hiway beats the 12 and 14on the chev and ford.
Pretty decent truck

Only had my 2001 1500 single cab, 6 ft. bed for about 6 months. Silver w/black interior. Chrome front inverted U bar with fog lights mounted on crossbar on bumper. Rounded entrance step bars with rubber step pads. 3 fold cloth bed cover. Three light taillight assemblies. Multi function light strip below tailgate. This truck came with the factory tow package. Basic interior. Manual roll windows, no PDLs, no PS, no cruise control(although I have half the parts to install a factory cruise system) Chrome air horns(behind the grille). A brand new awesome, AM/FM radio, CD, player USB port, Sirius, Blue Tooth, plus two monster speakers. 4.8L V-8. 140,000 miles. Four speed Auto Transmission w/ Transmission cooler and dash temperature gauge. ABS brakes. Runs like a newer vehicle. Solid body. Exceptionally quiet when moving. When you are waiting at a light you can't hear it running. Can't wait to get started on new paint, chrome grill, bumper, lights and turn signals. If you are a collector or just want a cool vehicle, this model is getting harder to find and getting a lot more popular. Have fun Ya'all!
