2000 GMC Sierra SLT review from North America
"Way too much mechanical problem for such low miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Universal joints on main drive shaft gone bad at 30,000
Universal joints on front axle bad at 48,000
Multiple, multiple brake jobs.
ABS brakes terrible, problem not fully corrected with recall.
Rear tailgate hinges rusting badly, tailgate likely will fall off this year.
Brake line rusted through resulting in leaking of brake fluid. $1200 repair. Needed to lift cab off frame to repair.
General comments?
Comfortable cabin, but overall detracted by large number of squeaks and rattles.
