1988 GMC S-15 Sierra review from North America
"Divine beauty and super strength"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat belts have started to wear badly.
Compression failure due to drag/street racing had to replace engine.
In 1998 I replaced a starter and fly wheel.
Replaced distributor cap; it's gone through two alternators.
General comments?
Honestly the best car imaginable; tough, rugged, dependable, it's just amazing. I wouldn't own another car if I didn't have to.
First day I got it I installed dual exhausts. Man I tell ya it screams.
