and restart to get cool air, sometimes it works sometimes it does't, there is a noise that sound like the drive shaft is hitting something, replaced front hubs at 100,000 miles, coatings on rims are peeling off,
sticker price 45,000
can't wait to buy another one and pay 800.00 dollars a month
My sierra was a terrific truck until it spontaniously caught fire while the truck was off and parked in my drivway. If your blower motor stops or electrical things start becoming irratic gages...ect. Keep your truck out of your garage and get it checked. a.s.a.p.
