Boy I hate this process; dealing with car salesmen; hunting lots for something still in good shape. I wish they would just post a take it or leave it price in the window and be done with all this rigmarole. But its getting about time to at least look around for a replacement for my 18 yr old truck.
The absolute most I will pay is 20k I am color blind when it comes to trucks so any brand works for me unless it has known problems. Looking for lowest mileage; maybe even with a few months of warranty left. Willing to take a single cab or work truck as I do not want or need all the bells and whistles the 4 door trucks come with.
When I do a search for this truck and specify price low to high one truck keeps coming to the top. In fact once I weed out the junk the first 5 trucks were all 2012/2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Work Truck 2D Regular Cab. Weeding down more threw carfax and pulling out the ones that have been wrecked I narrow it down to two trucks.
A 2012 with 31k miles and a 4.8L V8 for $16250 this one is 4 months out of warranty; I test drove this one yesterday. A 2013 with 25k miles and a 4.3L V6 for $16998 this one has 9 months of warranty left; only seen pictures of this one. I figure I would have to get the 2012 down to very low 15's to make it as good a deal as this 2013 and I do not see that happening.
So now my questions. Is GMC really a bottom of the barrel truck. Trying to figure out why they cost less than Chevy or Ford in my searches. Last GM product I owned was 30 years ago. They did make good motors back then (350/327) but they sure were rust bombs.
So without getting into past political stuff give me the good; bad; and ugly of GMC trucks and these 4.8 and 4.3 motors.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
