Brake lights actually disintegrated, due to poor harness design.

General Comments:

I threw a paint job and chrome rims from a 2001 GM truck on this Regular cab, flare-side bedded beast and she looks great!

This truck is quick, but put in a performance air filter, (and intake... although most could opt to just flip the air cleaner cover over), and a Borla exhaust and you will not only haul tail, you'll also get better mileage.

Transmission and rear end are like a Rock, but they need regular service to maintain this. Drop the pan and filter at least ever 30,000 miles over 100,000.

I drive this truck hard! Don't think all the stuff I've replaced has been in vain, these are things that normally go wrong with older vehicles. I expect get at least another 100,000 miles out of this truck, and then put it in a garage for my son.

Faults:

Loose ground wire caused the engine to run rough, couldn't find it, but when it was found and fixed it ran great.

General Comments:

Wish I hadn't sold it, have a 98 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 just like it, it has been in the shop 14 times since new, the 89 wasn't in once.
