1998 GMC Sierra C1500/ext review from North America

I was reading through the posts regarding my vehicle, and realized that there was not one truck with a 305 posted here.

Normal maintenance and repairs.

Rear end got rebuild at 75000. Fuel pump at roughly the same time.

Tranny needed a new cone at around 120000.

Changed the wheel bearings at around 150000. This was strange due to the fact that the parts store ran out of American made ones and I had to go with a Chinese made one. So currently I am running an American on the drivers side front and a Chinese made one on the passenger front. No problems yet.

At 160000 miles the fuel sending unit went out.

For almost 20000 miles I have used the trip odometer to tell me when I get to 300 miles and then I refill. I just dropped the tank this weekend and replaced it.

At 175000 the steering speed sensor started to act up. Still is... I am looking to replace it very soon.

Other than that, not too much going on with her. I am expecting to get another 100K out of her.

Love it. Normal wear and tear on the truck and normal replacement of worn parts. Nothing out of the ordinary, not catastrophic.

It drives and handles like a truck built in 1998. I will continue to keep this truck in top running condition. It isn't that pretty, but it is dependable and is like a dear friend.
