I have a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 in Calgary, and the timing chain’s notorious for causing grief, particularly the noise and oil leaks. I’ve seen it on other people too. Parts ain’t cheap, so expect frequent trips to the mechanic’s! Trying to keep this ride alive, but it’s testing my patience. Spare no expense on those gear syncro issues too.
I’ve got a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 here in Michigan, and it’s been nothing but trouble lately. The timing chain rattles like crazy, and I’ve been on and off it with noise acting up. Plus, the electrical system’s bananas—lights flicker like they’ve got a life of their own! Seems like every month there’s something new. Anyone else dealing with these headaches?
I’ve had my fair share of trouble with the 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L out here in the Midwest. The transmission can be a real pain, and the fuel pump’s belly-ache just doesn’t quit. But dang it, with some TLC, it’s a beast on the road! Friends say the drivetrain’s solid if you keep it well-maintained. Always lend an ear to those forums for tips, though; they’re a lifesaver!
I’ve owned a '02 GMC Sierra in Michigan, and the 5.3L engine has some quirks. Timing belt issues popped up way too often. Also seems like the transmission acts up on long drives. Hunted for parts and mechanics specialized on it, which was a real pain. Been managing repairs, but it’s a solid ride once you get past that. Anybody else with 1500 stories or advice?
In Montreal, I’ve dealt with the '02 Sierra’s overheating issues big time. The fan motor gives up, and you gotta watch for seized pistons, trust me. Plus, the electrical system is a nightmare! Light flicker here, warning lights flashing there. Almost lost faith but, when running smooth, it’s a beast. Always double-check those belts and hoses, folks.
