1999 GMC Sierra SLT Z71 4.8 liter V8 from North America
Summary:
Best truck to ever roll out of the GMC plant
Faults:
Replaced wheel bearings, ball joints, and tie rod ends when first purchased.
Bought the truck for 400 dollars with what the guy believed to be a locked up motor. Replaced starter, and the truck runs like new.
General Comments:
Best truck I've ever owner. This truck is reliable, has ZERO rust, the interior has held up amazing, the A/C works, not faded or cracked or torn. The exterior has held up amazing too. Paint is like new, no scratches, dents, or dings, no fading or peeling in the clear coat.
This truck only has the 4.8, not the 5.3, but there is only a 12 horsepower difference. Even with the tow package and airbags in the back, the truck still rides like a Cadillac.
The truck has had absolutely no major mechanical issues and it has almost 400,000 miles.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

This is me that made this review. I now have 76,000 miles. Since the review I have replaced the u-joints, t-case shift motor is bad along with drivers side window regulator, drivers side hub assembly twice, driver's side CV shaft, and now I have to replace the spider gears in the rear end. In a way the truck has doubted me, but I am still a believer.
