2001 GMC Sierra 1500HD review from North America
"Definitely a niche product, but well serving to those who require this type of vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. The truck has not failed us in any way so far.
General comments?
However, I do have a gripe with the manufacturer. I paid an additional premium for "extended run" coolant and differential fluid. The standard service interval for the differential is 7500 miles. Now that I am above the 7500 mile mark, the dealer suggests changing the differential fluid. I have made 2 web inquiries and 1 voice inquirie regarding what the "extended run" fluid equates to I'm mileage. But the manufacturer has avoided providing me with a definitive answer.
