1999 Gmc Sierra 1500 Sle Extended Cab Pickup 3-door 5.3l on 2040-cars
Ottsville, Pennsylvania, United States
For sale is this clean 1999 GMC Sierra pickup truck. It was purchased in 2007 with 125,000 miles and has had its oil changed every ~3,000 miles. Since 2008, this truck has had piston slap on cold start-ups. This noise goes away after initial warm-up - see video - and otherwise runs/shifts/sounds good. Within the last 25,000 miles, the spark plugs/wires, fuel pump, heater core, disk brake rotors, brake pads, parking brake shoes and backing plates, rear (chrome) bumper, air conditioning compressor, and belts have ALL been replaced - spark plug wires and backing plates with OEM parts. The tires were replaced roughly 12,000 miles ago (in 2011). All brake lines, including one rear hose, were replaced two months ago.
[From above] - This vehicle was in a front-end collision during 2011 which deployed the air bags - no longer installed in the steering wheel or dash. The front bumper, grill, hood, right front fender, and side mirrors were replaced. The right front fog light is missing its lens. The side mirrors do NOT adjust electrically. The frame/front end were checked by an experienced frame shop and interpreted as square/tight/aligned. A large scrape still exists on the right rear quarter panel (from a street sign). The tow/haul mode does NOT work - wire visible through rubber boot is broken (again). The gas gauge has a delayed response to fuel added to the tank; it does, eventually, after several miles/start-ups, read correctly. There is rust showing on both rear fender wells and in the bed - where at least two visible, dime-size holes exist. The seat on the driver's side does NOT recline - handle is missing. There are minor scratches in the paint - SEE PICTURES. A new PA inspection/emissions (through 1/15) will be performed this Tuesday - 11/26 - ensuring that it will be ready for you. Although not to be addressed in the state inspection, the mechanic who replaced the brake lines (a couple months ago) commented that the fuel line should be replaced; it shows signs of corrosion. See the PICTURE of the original window sticker for complete details about the features/options on this truck - including (comfortable) hi-back bucket seats, an off-road chassis equipment package, and a heavy duty trailering package. I must say that over the last 6 years/50,000 miles, this has been a valuable/reliable truck for me. I simply do not have the need for it any longer and am looking for a vehicle with much greater than this truck's ~15 mpg fuel economy.

2014 GMC Sierra
Wed, 12 Jun 2013Is the Best GMC Truck Ever Made Good Enough?
We've got a bright aluminum Airstream camper hitched to our rear bumper as we head up Southern California's coast because GMC says that 60 percent of all full-size pickup owners will use their trucks for towing.
Rather than forcing us to absorb its capabilities in a long-winded PowerPoint presentation, the automaker brought us to Los Angeles and handed us the keys to its all-new 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. After jumping behind the wheel of a 5.3-liter V8 model, we drove up the foggy Malibu coast (locals call the soggy early-summer weather "June Gloom") and made our way to the Camarillo Airport for a towing refresher. Once completed, a brand-new 23-foot Airstream was hitched to our aft end and we were pointed towards a campground just west of Santa Barbara.
2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra can tow up to 12,000 pounds
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Think back to the launch of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. At the time, General Motors happily trumpeted that its fullsize pickup could tow up to 11,500 pounds when properly equipped - impressive stuff, no doubt. But now, revised tow rating practices have been put into place, called SAE J2807. And with these new methods of testing, GM can now officially rate both the Silverado and its GMC Sierra twin as being able to tow up to 12,000 pounds.
Of course, not all Silverado and Sierra models are capable of this feat. In fact, because of SAE J2807, most of the truck models have actually had decreases in tow ratings from the 2014 to 2015 model year. For example, a 2014 Silverado Crew Cab with the 5.3-liter V8, 5.7-foot box and 3.73 rear axle was rated at 11,200 pounds in 2014, but has since been reduced to 10,800 in 2015. Same goes for the Sierra.
But for 2015, both the Silverado and Sierra can be had with a more powerful 6.2-liter V8, as well as a Max Trailering Package that includes a 9.76-inch rear axle, heavy-duty rear springs, revised shock tuning, improved cooling and a new trailer brake controller. There are also four- and seven-pin, bumper-mounted connectors, a trailer hitch (duh), and a G80 locking rear differential. This configuration, with either model, is the only way you can actually tow 12,000 pounds.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
