2002 GMC Sierra SLT review from North America
"A little on the high-end price, but a good bang for the buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front diff output shaft seal replaced twice. Had the fender flares replaced since the paint was scratched.
Power window switch stops working at random times. Power window switch when pressed occasionally will change the power lumbar support (surprising!).
Rattle under truck bed when driving around 25mph. Must be the nerf bars I had put on -- before nerf bars, rattle didn't exist.
Occasional knocking sound from engine.
Tailgate straps broke over this past weekend. The dealer said they don't have the new recall replacement ones, but they will replace them with brand new faulty ones and notify me when the recall ones are in stock.
General comments?
The leather interior is very comfortable. No problems while on a 10 hour road trip! Plenty of leg room - front and back.
Plenty of power from the 6.0 engine.
I plan on keeping the truck, even if I get a new engine (knocking).
