Faults:

Although I have had this truck a short while, I have had absolutely no problems with it.

General Comments:

The Sierra is a very comfortable truck. I recently took it on a 600 mile trip, with new tires on it. It rode like a dream.

The interior is car-like, with very comfortable seats. The lumbar supports help with long trips.

The Sierra handles very nicely on the rode and in town.

The 4.8 liter Vortec has plenty of power. I made 20 mpg on the recent trip on Interstate highways and two lane highways.

Faults:

4WD dashboard switch replaced in 2002.

General Comments:

Coolest truck I've owned.

Regular cab sport side black. Really no problems, and he pulls a heavy horse trailer fairly often.

Drover others, Ford, Dodge, Toyota, bought this truck for performance, ride, and handling.

Damn Happy!

Faults:

Valve clatter from 10,000km.

Popping noise in front end, on hard braking and quick starts, at 28,000km.

Brakes get hard/ABS at very low speed braking. I have to get off the brakes then on hard to stop, at 30,000km. If someone has experienced this as well, please let me know.

General Comments:

This truck is very fast and comfortable.

In the wet or dry it is tough to keep rear end from coming around on you.

Transmission shifts up to early. I started to notice this more when I replaced the exhaust system earlier this year.

Faults:

The left front wheel bearing went at 20000 Km causing the ABS system to act unpredictable, due to the wheel speed sensor being part of the bearing assembly. GM would not warranty this because they said that this happened due to off road abuse even though the truck had never been off road other than gravel roads to hunting camp. The rear end self destructed at 50,000 Km for no real reason. Since I have had this truck this is the only repair that was warrantied by GM. The U-joints (all 4) went at 60,000Km, but I guess that is normal wear. The right front wheel bearing went at about 65,000Km causing the ABS system to act up again. Also I have failed to mention that these bearings are extremely expensive. I had fuel pump failure at 70,000Km for no reason, (this is another very expensive part). Both of my power windows broke at 72,000 and 75,000 Km I hear this is very common, and expensive. The 4-wheel drive switch has worked when it wants to since new, (unfortunately it never failed to work when I tried to get it fixed under warranty). The radio works great, but all of the lights on it quit long ago. The power mirrors and their heated feature only worked for the first year or so.

General Comments:

As much as I have complained about this truck, I have owned other brands and they are all the same US or imported, they are all built horribly, but believe it or not this has been the least troublesome of many I have owned. Too bad none of the big auto makers will stand behind their products.

8. The truck's higher pitch.

9. All the gears in the differential.

Had to be replaced at 39,000 miles.

General Comments:

General Motors was willing to replace the parts of the differential, but I had to pay for the labor to the dealer, which came out to about $400.00.

The remainder of the "problems" are my responsibility because of the mileage of the vehicle at the time of "malfunction".

With the exception of the above mentioned items, the vehicle has worked well. At this time, I'm thankful I haven't had any other "major" engine or drive train problems.
