Howdy All!!
I just bought a 2000 Sierra SLT 3 door with a 4.8ltr. I paid $900!!
However the previous owner (my ex-step father) took it out for some DUI's!
The worst is the passenger door, Mashed in at the bottom. It'll open from the inside, but not the outside. (Historically, but not today
) The window works, but stops halfway.
Obviously the radiator support is a little bent, as is the hood, bumper,...
Just behind the third door on the passenger side is his only accident involving another car. Somehow he clipped it, which pressed in that quarter panel in front of the wheel.
Both the third door window and the rear windshield are gone.
It has 176K, Fully loaded, and runs great.
Oh, and I'll need both front lower control arms. Both were bent hitting rocks. They are not really bad, but the alignment is off and I can see the hits they took pretty easily.
I'm sure some of my questions will be answered here. I also just watched the video on Trucks fixing the cab of a truck just like mine!
I'd add a pic or two but it's to dark. Tomorrow!!

'02 GMC 1500 Denali
Downsizing from a 2006 Dodge Megacab diesel. Always told myself if I ever bought a 1/2 ton it would be a GM product. Found a 1 owner P/U and looking forward to putting some miles on it. Only issue I can see is the passenger door lock motor makes a grinding noise.

Hi all! My name is Dan and I like trucks! 
I will allow you to refer to me as a newb on this forum; but rest assured I am not a newb to trucks, cars or life. I would love to trim 30 years off my current position and be referred to as a newb.
Most recent addition is a 2000 Sierra, 5.3l with a handful of issues due to a lack of maintenance and care. These issues will be resolved over a period of time.
Looking forward to receiving and giving help when needed.
Thanks
Dan
