1988 GMC Sierra SLX review from North America
"Bulletproof"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission locked up at 258,000 miles, original transmission it was.
Clutch went out at 256000 miles.
Rear end went out at 250000 miles.
Little stuff like shocks, headlights, brakes, clutch cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch line, rear brake lines, tires, not bad stuff.
General comments?
Overall, I love this truck. It is bone stock and will make it through more than a lifted yota on 35's. It is a 5-speed powerhouse that will spin through second. Laid the longest black marks ever laid in my life.
I have replaced everything but the engine almost! It was well worth it though; I love that truck more than anything.
