Viscous fan seized.
Thermostat housing bung split.
This car was very quick and had good handling. It would hit the rev limiter in 5th gear at an indicated 149mph, probably 130 ish true mph.
The car was very reliable, never leaving me stranded.
It was quite thirsty at 24mpg.
Very comfortable car, good on the motorway, long journeys.
Best car you can get for the money if you find a non rusty one, better than an xr4x4 and cheaper, make sure you get a pinto engined one.
Good fun car, and cheaper than the XR4x4. but better? Why?
Apparently the GLSi is cheaper to insure than the XR4x4 even though it is basically the same car with trim differences.
I must admit I didn't think they made a pinto engined 4x4 sierra, early ones were 2.8 cologne, then later 2.9 with the option of the 2.0 twin cam.
