Hi, I'm new to both the GMC forums, and the GMC Sierra as well.
I recently traded in my old car (1998 audi A4) for a 1999 GMC sierra 4.3 reg cab short box Z71 because I bought a new Honda Rancher and I needed a way to haul that around and my audi was rapidly showing signs of wear and tear of the age and mileage (170k miles)
I've owned it for a little over a month now and am already finding minor things that I would like to find a solution for.
1. When I put the truck into park the doors do not automatically unlock, very annoying for passengers and myself to press the unlock button. Not very serious but annoying.
2. When I turn my brights on my airconditioning turns on and will not turn off when I press the A/C button or go back to low beams.
3. sometimes at idle/acceleration, it will misfire but throw no CEL's or codes.
The truck has relatively low milage (130K) Doesn't matter if the engine is cold or warm.
Is there anything else I should look for or know about these vehicles?
I knew my previous car inside and out and would like to do the same for this thing.
I am a Do it your selfer and prefer to keep my vehicles out of the shop.
any input or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
