99k miles and still kicking!

by 04SierraLover from Jacksonville, FL on Mon Nov 29 2010

I have recently hit 99,000 miles on my 2004 GMC Sierra 1500. I have the 4.8L V-8 and have no complaints. I change my oil every 3,000 miles, and get an alignment every year or so. I recently put new tires on it, and it performs even better. I am getting 16MPG on it. However, I am getting a shudder between 1st and 2nd gears. Sometimes it slams into gear. Otherwise, nothing is wrong with it. I have decided that I will drive this truck until the frame falls apart.

2004 5.3L GMC Sierra SLT 1500 Ext Cab w/ Tow Pack

by Toyota Love from LA, CA on Mon May 28 2007

After 3.5 Years and about 30k miles I've had no break downs and it drives with the same power as when it was new. Passing and cornering like a sports car, beats the Dodge and Ford on handling in my opinion. Not to mention 2004 apears to be keeping its value much better too. Interior is rugged and comfortable, nothing has broken or started to wear yet.

Awesome Truck

by Lovin_my_GMC from Spring Grove Pa on Mon May 12 2014

This truck iis awesome. It has the positracion rear and 4 wheel drive so I I am sure it will perform well in snow or mud. Has 5.3 engine with Automatic and gets better fuel mpg than my toyota 4 Runner that I traded in. The GMC had a clunking sound when shifting into reverse and when pulling out from a stop. I found there was a TSB from GMC concerning this issue and Country Dodge took care of it for me. Truck has a fair amount of squeaky creaky interior panels but it does not bother me. Only two things I found that I dislike. First one is the wiper arms can only be lifted a few inches off the windshield. I normally leave my wipers sticking up in the air when I have to park outside in the snow and ice to prevent them from getting frozen to the window. Second one is the Center AC vent in the dash cannot be turned off. If rear passenger are cold and I am hot this is a problem because I cant stop the airflow from that vent. Overall though it is a great truck and drives great! I love it!

Confidence inspiring handling

by JackDC on Thu Apr 26 2018

15 years old, and 80k miles. It's a great truck, probably last the rest of my life. Been wrecked by being rear-ended by another pickup and rebuilt by an excellent body shop - and you'd never know it been hit. Minor nits: sensor on top of the gas tank quit working, $49 part but hundreds in labor to drop the tank and replace. Speedo cluster replaced under recall. Delco radio CD now fails to eject CDs, even though it has hardly ever been used.

Mostly problem free for 240k

by Myoldtruck on Sun Mar 17 2019

I owned one of these for 13 years, got it new and put 240,000 miles on it with little issues. It still drove great but it was time for something new. The engine still had plenty of life left with oil changes every 3k miles the dipstick was never black, even at 3k miles.

Has been used as a work truck for 4 years, always

by Cass1885 from Texas on Tue Sep 19 2017

Some cosmetic flaws, could use a new windshield but engine and transmissions are great no problems. Tow hitch with electric brakes are definetly worth it for someone who tows often
