1993 GMC Sierra SLE review from North America
"I miss this truck more every day. Excellent truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake gasket leaked. Alternator bearings went during a blizzard. Replaced idle air control valve twice. Differential bearings replaced at 335000km. Some minor electrical problems.
General comments?
Despite a few minor problems due to high mileage this truck was the most solid, reliable smooth driving and running vehicle I've ever owned. I found the 305 TBI engine to have more than enough power to tow, pass and light up the rear tires without using the brakes. Very roomy and comfortable interior. I'd drive this truck to hell and back without hesitation. Very hard on gas. If I could afford to fuel it for my commute, I'd still own it. Factory paint job not the greatest.
