1990 GMC Sierra LX review from North America
"More than well worth it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's door doesn't latch properly.
Seat has busted at the seam.
Runs crappy when it's really cold out. (Haven't traced the problem for that)
Ball joints and stabilizer end links replaced at about 175,000 miles.
Gas tank started leaking at about 205,000 miles; Wasn't too difficult to slap a new one in.
Transmission grinds while shifting into reverse, unless shifted to fifth gear then reverse.
General comments?
Able to tow full sized car 150 miles with relative ease.
4-wheel drive works great.
You can fit a ten inch sub perfectly behind the seat.
Paint looks remarkable after 15 years.
Very little body rot.
