Great truck, only 1 issue. With a little over a thousand miles, sounded like loose sheet metal under the truck. Ended up going back to the dealer 6 times before I went to another dealer. Found out it was the A/C compressor. Mechanic stated that it would build up too much pressure. Thank goodness I didn't put it off. Over $2500 in parts & labor. Not a single problem since. For such a big truck, get wonderful gas mileage. Only one thing I would change... get better viewing side mirrors. Lots of blind spots with the OEM mirrors.

With Flowmaster Thunder Series exhaust and K&N FIPK II air system, this baby rocks and rolls!! Love the sound when letting off the gas going downhill, nothing like that rumble....

I'm a Chevy/GMC man- have been for ten years; bought my new GMC 1500 Sierra SLE at the end of February, I've enjoyed my truck for months until lately when the quadcab doors started to rattle and my 4wd started to growl. GMC has tried to adjust the doors with no luck and they don't know what the growling is in the 4wd, but other than that the trucks been fine.

This truck has the potential of being everything I want it a truck. It offers a very smooth ride and the leather seats are some of the most comfortable I've sat in. A friend recently purchased a comparable Ford model. After riding in my truck, he's quick to point out the superior ride and comfort of the GMC. Disappointment: I recently scheduled my 2nd service visit because the outside temp gauge constantly reads in the 90's if the temp is above 38 degrees. There are rattles in the dash. This is the 4th GM truck I have owned and this is the least smooth transmission of any of them.
