Positive Review

"Very good truck!"

I have owned this truck since 2002. Overall, very reliable thru the years and still runs great. My only beef is with the rust issue with GMC and Chevy trucks of this era. 99% of the trucks I see have the rust problem over the rear wheel wells and along the running boards under the doors.

Critical Review

"Okay vehicle"

I have had to replace the steering shaft at 20000 miles and again at 69000 miles. The a/c fan went out at 65000 miles and cost nearly $500.00 to replace. Lights on the steering wheel and dash have gone out and according to the GMC dealer where I bought the truck, they cannot be replaced. A completely new dash panel and steering wheel must be replaced to fix it. The seats are not comfortable and do not lean back enough to relax when driving long distances. The front speakers went out at 40000 miles. As far as the drive goes, I like the ride. It is smooth and steers great. Overall, I would not recommend anyone buying this vehicle.

Unbelievalble reliability
Cons

15 mph

It's a beautiful totally fabulous truck. 1500 HD SLT. Original cost $38,000 in 2002. I've towed my boat with ease for 24 years and my brake linings still have 50% left. Brakes have not been replaced. Unreal. Boat and trailer is at least 4500 lbs unloaded. The comfort is exquisit. At 110,000 miles, I replaced the alternator in 1 hour max, easy. Every possible accutrament within works like new. Just blown away after 23 years how new it looks and inside leather comfort is like new. I'm having the small dings removed, replacing the shadowed lights and making it look new. So easy. I love this truck!

Great Truck
Pros

Powerful and Responsive truck

A couple costly fixes

Great Truck. You can't ask for a better motor. The frame of the truck is great and rides well. The LB7 Duramax is the best
