She's not going to win the beauty contest at the state fair but she'll get your shitbox to the dunes or whever you want to go, just keep putting gas in'r :lol:
Up for sale is my old tow pig. This is a two owner (bought from my father-in-law) 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD Extended Cab with the 8.1L 496ci big block and Alison transmission.
The Good:
-Freshly replaced crankshaft position sensor
-New exhaust, including 2 brand new CATS (thanks to the faulty crankshaft position sensor).
-New shoes (see tread in the pics below)
-Bed rails and 7-pin inside the bed for 5th wheel
-Bullet-proof 4x4 drive train with the 8.1/Alison combo and a fairly new transfer case (upgraded forks)
-Have a camper shell that matches the "old man gold" color if you want it
-Brake controller
-Only 121k miles
The Bad:
-As strong as that big block pulls it won't pull passed a gas station without stopping :lol: seriously, you are looking at ~10/11mpg when not towing and ~6mpg when you are towing.
-It's "old-man gold" color and the wrinkle in the bed from the Dunkin Donuts drive through
-Stupid ABS light comes on. It's a typical Chevy/GMC thing and you'd be free to purchase the ~$600 circuit card that makes that light go away or I can toss in a code reader that does the same thing...
-Another typical Chevy/GMC thing from this era was the LCD in the instrument cluster, it goes out at times so you can't see the PRND321 and mileage lights. Again, you'd be free to yank the dash and replace it or you can smack the trip switch a few times and check the mileage when you need to, like I do
-The 26.5 gallon tank is a ballbuster for long trips, plan accordingly. This is a thirsty girl and the "low fuel" light comes on when you have like 5 miles left :coocoo:
-It's an extended cab instead of a crew cab
The Reality:
This truck is for someone looking for a tow pig (not a commuter) that can legit handle a toy hauler, bumper, or 5'er and not have to spend ~$30k on a 25 year old diesel to do it. Need a farm truck that you don't mind letting sit in the sun for years on end?... this may be your ticket. With only 121k miles this drive train has a lot of life left in it.
$5,500
