Great Truck Bad Transmission

Delivery and paperwork was flawless Price was right. Sierra was delivered in perfect physical condition with only a minor transmission problem noticed. Problem increased, warranty looked into the problem. Problem is claimed by GM as "normal" and not a problem. Suspension has been cheapened translating into less comfort and a harder ride, even with the smooth ride suspension ordered. If this new truck rode like my 1990 GMC 1500 I would buy 3 more for my kids but will be hard pressed to ever buy another one the way they are being made today.

All is fine with truck. Had a 2001 6-cylindar and did not like the pick up from a slow roll or stopped position. Went to the 5.3 and real happy with performance. Only downside is the tires have been swapped three times due to poor quality. Dealer has not flinched once when complaint registered.

Z-85 suspension a little stiff for around town. Added dual exhaust and K&N filter. Gas mileage and performance improved with these additions. Average about 21mpg overall...Truck is a blast to drive & stock stereo is very good. Sound proofing is good; however, GMC could have located the emergency brake in better location. Overall no problems in 7 thousand miles...........

Best Damn truck I've ever owned

Bought my truck with 40,000 miles on it in 2014 and it currently has 117,000 on it.The only thing I've done to it is replace the fog lights after a rock hit one of them and busted it.Other than that I haven't had any problems whatsoever with my truck,only performing preventive maintenance such as changing the oil,new spark plugs and fuel filter at 100,000 miles.If GM would build a truck as reliable as the ones they built in the late 90's early 2000's (instead of the unnecessarily complex nightmares they currently offer)I would buy a new truck tomorrow,but barring a miracle I'll stick with old faithful.I would recommend to anyone looking for a dependable truck to search until they find a relatively low mileage 99-04 Chevy or GMC because these trucks are among the most dependable ever built in my humble opinon.My truck has the 5.3 liter V8,not sure why that isn't an option on this review
