I have owned ford, Nissan, and GMC. My last GMC (2001) was a great truck (SLE ext cab 4x4), but it needed a larger engine and a leather interior. The 2003 was what I was hoping for. Plenty of power, great ride, creature comforts, and can still haul two yards of topsoil. I can look good taking my wife out to dinner and still get the rugged use of a truck!

Bought this truck used in 2010 with 65,000 miles. I now have 144,000 miles and with the exception of replacing the water pump, brakes, a couple of batteries and some minor body work (all of which I view as normal maintenance) I've spent little money on it. As you can see I haven't driven it a lot of miles and since my retirement 10 years ago I only put on about 4000 miles a year. I change motor oil every 2000 miles and transmission fluid and filter every 30000 miles. I plan on keeping it until they take my keys away from me. lol.

Poor Ride with wheel vibration

After about one week of driving, the truck began to vibrate excessivly especially on concrete freeways. Took it in 4 times, each time the wheels were way out of balance. They can't figure it out. They think that maybe the tires are moving on the rim. These are Bridgestones on aluminum wheels. It turns out that you may get Bridgestones or Firestones(same ones recalled by Ford) depending on what they have laying around at GM. It is made worse by a poor suspension design that does not perform well at highway speeds. At this point the tires are still out of balance and the dealer doesn't know what to do or what is happening.

I traded in a 2002 Z71 silverado for this 2003 Z71 Sierra(new). I was suprised to find the same annoying rattles that I had fixed on my 2002. The windshield rattles, which is because of the exterior window trim. The doors sqeaked, which is because GM is to cheap to oil their doors at the fatory. Other than the annoying issues that took one trip to the dealership I couldn't ask for a better looking,riding and performing truck. Hopefully GM doesn't decide to cheapen it up down the road!
