1997 GMC Sierra Z71 SLE review from North America
"Waste of time and money going to the dealer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The problem I have with this truck is unbelievable. Between 50,000 and 60,000 mile the reverse transmission went out on me, steering pump broken, and electrical fuel sender broken. I probably spent 3g fixing all these problem.
Now the engine is lock on me. To replace around 3 to 4g. This will be my first and my last truck from GM. Buy chrysler, life time warranty on engine and transmission that's my next step.
General comments?
This truck is a good lease for two year, beat the crap out of it and give it back. Probably that's what somebody did to me.
