I was looking at a 2002 GMC Sierra 3500 Extended but consumer reports says the 2002 Sierra 1500 is not reliable so I dont think the 3500 would be great.
The 1500 ***** trannies and diffs, the HDs do not. There is nothing unreliable about a 2002 Sierra 3500 gasser unless it's lived a life of neglect. And the comment about a diesel going 300k and a gasser only going to 160k is equally ignorant. My 98 1500 with 350 is north of 270,000 miles and runs the same as it did when I bought it around 150k miles. Trans and diff were upgraded long ago. The LS motors found in 99+ trucks go even longer. 6.0/4L80E and 8.1/Allison combos are both very durable, long lasting powertrains.
