1996 GMC Sierra 2500 5.7 from North America
Summary:
It has a good performance
Faults:
It was a good running truck. I was surprised at the power it had.
Then after about 2 months of owning it, it started to act up. If I was to start it up and then shut it off, the next day it wouldn't start. It would flood itself out, and I would let it sit for a while and go back, and it would fire right up. Then about 4 months ago I started it, moved it and shut it off, and couldn't get it to start back up until today. I don't have any clue on why it did it, but it is a good running, strong motor.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Well the 6.5 liter engine was probably the worst engine GM put out. Or the worst diesel engine in general. I own a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 with a Cummins turbo diesel. This truck has just rolled 400k and still runs as good as new. And I work the heck out of it, but maintain it religiously as you should with any vehicle.
I have a friend who once owned a 1995 Ram Cummins that had over 700k on the original motor, and still ran great. If you want a real diesel truck, then you definitely can't go wrong with a Cummins.
