I dont actually own this truck yet. But I am waiting on call from the Fiance people to hear ifI 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?

 

Very reliable! I have a 2003 Sierra single cab step side with the 4.8 V8. I had towed WAY more than this thing is rated to tow and it worked great. With a few mods, i.e. exhaust and intake, it'll run like a scalded dog too! Good luck getting it.

 

Thanks for the input. The truck already has exhaust on it. Thinking about dumping exhaust over rear axle when i get it. What all have you done to yours? How are they on gas?

 

sounds like a good truck...
the steering shaft probably rattles,but there is a cure for that.

5.3 engine?...expect about 18,if your lite footed

 

My dad seems to get better than that with his 5.3. Not sure what he gets but it's in the low 20s. Course he drives like a cutip.

If you wanna see what all I've done to mine check out my cardomain page. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2777583

 

I have a rattle in my steering shaft. Can you tell me what the fix is? Thanks

 

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.

 

Wow, that would be a deterant for me.

 

65k is nothing on these trucks... expect well over 200k out of it

 

Well? You get the truck yet or not?
