But I am waiting on call from the Fiance people to hear if I have been approve or not. The truck I am getting is the 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 Extended cab SLE. How long will this trucks usually last? The one I am getting has 65717 miles on it fully loaded. Tow package and eveything. I really wont be using it for towing really. It will be city driven as well. How reliable are this trucks? _____________________________ Jonathan Post #: 1

Thinking about dumping exhaust over rear axle when i get it. What all have you done to yours? How are they on gas? _____________________________ Jonathan (in reply to 72charger) Post #: 3

RE: New to forums - 8/27/2007 5:36:07 PM    03GMCSierra   Posts: 7 Joined: 8/26/2007 Status: offline it is a 4.8 liter V8. I hope it turns out to be a good truck its got 65717 miles on it. I know that the dealer is going to replace the master cylinder before I get it. The brake fluid chamber was bone dry. When I look at it. _____________________________ Jonathan (in reply to Argon) Post #: 7
