1988 GMC Sierra SL 4x4 5.7 Liter from North America
Summary:
Unreal power and torque
Faults:
Bought the truck because the guy didn't think he needed 4x4 any more, and thought the truck was too old with only 143,000 on the odometer. I bought the truck from the guy that bought it new from Faulkner GMC, and he took super good care of it.
It's a longbed with the 350 and automatic with air. On the way home from the fella's house, the exhaust fell off, so now it's quite loud.
I run 15W40 Fleet oil in it, the motor was bored .40 over so it's built to run.
It needs front brake rotors and pads soon, and could use a set of tires. It's 4 wheel drive, and it's a true 4x4 system. My buddy thought it would be a good idea to go through the pond on his farm; he got in frame deep (also has a 1988 Chevy Shortbed). I hooked up to him in 4 low, and yanked him right out like he wasn't even stuck.
General Comments:
Not sure what these guys with imports are thinking when they come up beside me at lights?? The only thing I can't pass is a gas station.
Wish it was a 4 speed, so I could launch the truck off the line better. If I put it in 1st and shift up it does good, but it needs a 4 speed.
Very good
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
