1993 GMC S-15 SLE review from North America

First let me say this truck has been perfectly maintained. Synthetic fluids since new. During the warranty period it was at the dealer 22 times beginning the first week I bought it.

Rear springs came apart

Valve stem seals

Torque converter lockup cycles constantly in 3rd

3 a/c compressors

3 starters

Fuel pump

2 heater cores

CPI and regulator

4 alternators

Radiator cracked

Oil pan gasket replaced 3 times

Power steering pump leaks

Oil lines replaced twice

3 Water pumps

3 sets of motor mounts

5 Fan clutches

Doors are sagging

2 of the vacuum motors for the vents have broken off their mounts and can't be fixed without replacing the whole dash.

The paint only lasted 2 years.

2 recalls on the ABS that have made the brakes even scarier and caused an accident.

The engine failed at 86k miles.

I've used 4 GMC dealers in Seattle and 2 in Vegas and they were all horrible. It usually took 2 trips in to get a problem fixed and sometimes I had to take the truck back because the mechanic broke something. As soon I can get it painted I'm trading it for a Nissan. The only good thing I can say is that the seats are very comfortable and it's a champ for towing.
