This 1998 GMC Sierra K1500 SLE Extended Cab 4x4 is in very good condition with 111318 original miles. I have owned this truck since January of 2002. I bought this truck in Illinois and have rarely driven it in the winters on salty Illinois roads, hence the lack of typical frame and body rust that is common in the "rust belt". Since, I have moved to southern California where the truck now resides. The paint is the original Summit White that still shines bright, it has been waxed regularly. There are some areas of wear and tear, particularly above the right rear bumper, there is a ding as pictured. The interior is the gray cloth that is in very good condition. The truck was never smoked in. There is a 6-way electric adjustable drivers seat, both seats have electric lumbar support. The rear bench seat folds for extra room. The AM/FM radio, cassette, and CD player are all in working condition, and all the speakers are working as well. The AC blows cold and the heat works great too. The dash is in very good condition, just some very minor cracks around fasteners near the windshield. The power windows and locks along with the remote keyless entry are all working. The truck came equipped with the overhead console. I have performed all regular maintenance and any upgrades. All these records will be available to the buyer. The engine oil, transmission, differential(front and rear), chassis components, u-joints, ball joints have all been oiled or lubed with Mobil synthetic products since 2002. If you are familiar with the "R" model 5.7L engines you are aware of the intake manifold gasket's potential to eventually leak coolant. I have upgraded this gasket with the updated Felpro gasket. There are NO coolant leaks. The fuel pump was replaced last year as well as the fuel line to the fuel filter. I updated this fuel line with the newer nylon line instead of the steel line. The distributer cap and rotor, spark plug wires have been replaced. There is a K&N rechargeable air filter installed. The catalytic convertors were replaced with MagnaFlow stainless steel pipe and convertors mounted to true dual exhaust with two galvanized steel glass packs and chrome exhaust tips. The truck rides on a heavy-duty chassis with the heavy-duty trailering option that includes the factory installed transmission oil cooler. The axle ratio is 3.73 driving new Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac LT285/75R16 mounted on 16 aluminum wheels. Front rotors, calipers/pads, rear drums and brakes were all replaced. Brake lines to the rear wheels have been replaced. Two new front hubs were installed. The ball-joints show no play. The u-joints and center bearing on the driveline have been replaced with heavy duty u-joints and bearing. There is a 3 inch body lift professionally installed along with a very mild suspension lift. The 8 foot truck bed is great for hauling and with the included truck bed shell/topper you can keep those items out of the elements. The truck bed shell/topper is painted to match the trucks Summit White paint. The truck bed is equipped with the original plastic bed protector. Another special feature of this truck is the auxiliary battery capability, while not installed at this time, you can have two batteries hooked up for extra power and safety. This truck is not California compliant. The truck is 49 state legal. It passed the California emissions portion , but the catalytic convertors are 49 state, non-California compliant therefore it didn't pass the visual inspection. The truck passes Illinois emissions with no problem and I imagine it would pass any other state(ex. California) with no problems. There is no "service engine" light on. If there are any other questions regarding the truck please feel free to email those and I will respond as soon as possible. I prefer local pick-up for the truck but I would be happy to assist in delivery of the truck as long as transportation to the local major airport with airline service is provided.
