I just looked 1994 GMC Sierra 3500 2WD gas model and felt in love with it. It's a Quad-cab with plenty of room and a big bed as well. It's not a dually or 4WD, which helps with the gas but could be a draw-back in the snow. It has 150k on the odometer, assuming it's working. The asking price is 1875 dollars.
How do I check if something is in good working order. It has all of the gauge such as oil pressure gauge. I never have cars with such gauge so I wouldn't know where the gauge should be. I check the oil and it is at a good level but it is very oil. The engine sounds good but the oil is very black, probably from sitting awhile before this guy bought it at an auction. I'll do a couple of short 5W20 OCI before putting 5W30 or 5W40 in it. I probably stick with dino and short OCI because I don't want it to start leaking from being cleaned up by synthetic. I just want something to lubricate well and protect the engine.
Since it's a stick, I can't drive it yet because I haven't driven a stick since I passed my driving test 10 years ago. The owner did gave me a quick drive and it shifts fine and the engine is very strong. This is the truck to ends most truck owning ambition since I never see a need for anything bigger or more powerful.
It is not jacked up so that is good because things are severely abused yet. It has a big dent near the tail gate but I think it is mostly cosmetic, probably from hitting something turning fast or someone backing into it.
How do I check a truck out. Thanks.
