Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
Safety is enhanced with the side door guard beams designed to minimize intrusion into the passenger compartment during a side impact. A center high-mounted brake light is also added to enhance safety.
An optional 6.5-liter turbodiesel V8 engine is available even on vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating less than 8,500 pounds. The 5.0-, 5.7- and 7.4-liter engines all receive some enhancements.
Rust corrosion protection is improved while interior noise vibration and harshness is reduced. Rounding out the list of significant improvements are the addition of an "easy entry" feature to the front passenger seat on extended cab body styles to ease entry into the rear seating positions and the revision of the exterior front end styling.

Great old truck
alex , 09/15/2006
1990 GMC Sierra 2500 2dr Regular Cab 4WD LB (4.3L 6cyl naturally aspired 4M)
This trucks has 208,000 miles on her. At about 200 thousand miles put in a new tranny. The engine still runs strong. Had to put both new front axles. Pitmin arm and idler arm. Now needs brakes and ball joints. But for the age of this truck, I love it. It hasn't got and rust. It doesn't do the best on gas. But I love driving it, being high off the ground. I think the engine will last … until 300 thousand miles. It is the 5.7 V8. It accelerates slow, but if you need to make a highway pass, you'll have plenty of power. Great work truck

18 years old and still going strong

1994 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 2dr Extended Cab LB (5.7L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
bought my truck a long time ago and love it now like i did then. I wanted the 5-spd as i don't enjoy the automatics and haven't had to touch the clutch yet and it's 18 years old. I currently have 280,000 kms on it and have just changed the standard wear items, brakes, oil, fluids and the like. only part i've had to put in it is a lower oil cooler line ($32) 1/2 labour in the driveway. … I've been tempted to get a newer truck but can't beat the reliability or the 20 mpg. Not to mention the 4x4 helps tame the brutal winters we can get here in alberta. the truck is going to get repainted as i have a few good rock hits now. I haul my quad etc all the time with no issues. GMC made a good product

Good Old Truck

1993 GMC Sierra 2500 SLE 2dr Regular Cab LB (4.3L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I am the third owner. I have put 40k of the 130k miles on this truck. It has a 454 (2wd) and 10000# overload springs. It is the SLE model. It gets 11 mpg no matter what you haul. The steering is still very tight, engine and tranny strong. It does not smoke but is starting to use a little oil- about a quart every 1500 miles. It has gone through several electrical items (alternator, … starter, wiper motor, blew up a battery) I really abuse it but service the heck out of it. It still looks good and drives great.

The truck I grew up with
Joe454, 01/21/2004
1992 GMC Sierra 2500 SLE 2dr Extended Cab 4WD LB (4.3L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
My parents purchased this truck brand
new, and I inherited it when I turned
sixteen, after which I commenced
driving it with the crazy assurance of
any teenage boy. Although this truck
is a beast (18ft long, weighs 6000+
lbs, and with a 7.4L V8 454 it gets
terrible gas milage), it handled snow
well (once shifted into 4 wheel
drive), and my father and I used it to …
pull stumps out of the ground--you
can't beat the torque. Towing two
horses and hauling a camper across the
country this truck never let us down.
The vehicle I still dream about.
