1989 GMC Sierra SL 2500 - 2WD
Up for sale is my trusted GMC Sierra pickup truck. NO RESERVE. I bought the truck as a work/beater truck for household/yard jobs but it turns out I seldom drive it so here it is for sale. The previous owner had this truck in a fleet as evidenced by the dirt embedded into the interior despite my best efforts to remove it. The mileage is uknown (which is why the listing showns 999,999). The odometer has never turned since I purchased the truck in 2010. The engine runs strong and has been trouble free since I purchased it. If you are looking for a basic and inexpensive work truck that you don't need to worry about putting to work and scraping it up, this one fits the bill!
Features:
5.7L V8
2WD - Two Wheel Drive
3 speed automatic
8 foot box
This truck is relatively unique in that it has very few options. It is not equipped with a/c - hence the blank out plates on the vents on the dash. Instead the truck has pull-stops to open fresh-air vents below the dash.
Radio with cassette player (non-functioning - I don't know why)
bedliner
The Good:
Runs great
Starts the first time, every time
Solid exhaust system (see photos)
Tires still have a lot of tread depth on them
The Bad:
The mileage of the truck is unknown. It reads a bit over 112,000 miles, but it was reading this when I bought the truck in the summer of 2010 and the reading has never changed.
Transmission leaks a little bit of fluid - I assume it needs a new gasket but I have never attempted to replace/repair it.
Rust (see photos)
Passenger seat-belt doesn't tension properly (latches but is not fully taught)
Radio and cassette player do not work (turns on, but no sound)
Dome light doesn't work - may just need a new bulb
Tears in the seat cushion
Fading amateur paint job
Spare tire and jack are both missing
Check engine light comes on occasionally, but doesn't stay on and doesn't seem to run any differently when the light comes on.
Please contact me if you are interested in coming to check the truck out. The truck is no longer currently registered as I just transferred plates to another vehicle so test drives will have to be limited to the side-streets in my neighborhood.
Here is the not-so-fine print:
Vehicle is sold 'AS IS' with no warranty.
Vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of end of auction.
$100 deposit required within 48 hours of close of auction.
Any bidders with a feedback rating of less than 5 will be cancelled.

GM will no longer remove parts from trucks to calculate curb weights
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Following last week's mild uproar after it was discovered that Ford and General Motors were removing some optional parts from their pickups to lower the curb weight and consequently increase the maximum payload, GM has come out and committed to a base curb weight for its upcoming Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact trucks (although it has yet to publish them) and its current Silverado and Sierra. The company will do the same for its heavy duty offerings, although those numbers have not been finalized yet.
"This will make our curb weight and payload specs more consistent with those of most other truck makers, making it easier for customers to compare vehicles," GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog in an emailed statement.
As GM notes - and as every manufacturer has noted since this story broke - customers still shouldn't take max payload ratings as gospel. Instead, they should refer to their truck's Tire and Load Label, like the one shown at the inset, which will offer detailed information on max payload, specific to their truck.
Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007
Sat, 21 Sep 2013Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.
GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
