Title: New Guy from Oklahoma
Post by: gwgdog66 on November 30, 2011, 09:36:19 pm

Hello.

I have a 1987 GMC R1500 Sierra Classic, short wide bed. One good truck. 387,000 on it. Transmission rebuilt in 2008. I just had to replace a leaking head gasket.

I look forward to learning more about these vehicles.

Welcome from NW Indiana, my 3 1985's in my signature mileage don't add up to yours.  That is fantastic.

I was surprised recently with how good the internals looked. I had to replace the head gasket (Started leaking on the passenger side).  I replaced those, went ahead and did the oil pan gasket and new timing chain while I was at it.  I was a little worried I might need a new long block. I guess I'll invest that money into a paint job now ;)
