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 tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
