New Guy from Oklahoma
« 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.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

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 ;)
