1997 GMC Sierra SLE review from North America

When I first got the truck the pitman arms needed to be replaced.

The windshield wipers do not work sometimes or not at all.

When started, especially in cold weather, there is a knocking sound, but once the truck warms up there is no problem, I have been told by a co-worker that something beside the engine needs to be tightened because it is loose.

Rough acceleration/hesitation when taking off sometimes, I have used fuel injector/carburetor cleaner and it seems to have solved the problem.

There is a leak somewhere in the radiator and occasionally I have to check to make sure the coolant isn't running dry.

This truck has good off-road cabability, snow, mud, or rain.

It's a handsome truck, people have come up to me saying what a nice truck it is.

The front seats are very comfortable and roomy, however the backseats are not as comfortable unless you are a small child and the backseat is completely vertical.

This truck has good towing cabability.

The interior of the truck, especially the dashboard is plastic, and has a greasy look, and is a bit loose.

I can hear rattling like the dashboard is loose, or creaking sounds sometimes when driving, but it is a truck and it's an older model so its expected.

The truck has a lot of power and when accelerating at highway speeds or passing somebody I can feel it "kick" with power.
