Perfect that’s what I thought! Already have one ordered, thanks.

Hey All! So the last time I posted I was asking for advice on a truck was looking at online.. I ended up buying it (lol someone told me to run), it's been great so far except.. I was driving home the other day in the snow and I heard a single pop come from the passenger side dash area. Immediately after, I smelled a bit of a burning smell. After the smell quit, I noticed there was no longer any air coming through the vents. Now when I turn on my climate control (I keep it off until I solve this issue) I hear kind of a quiet flutter (lasts for 1.5 flutters haha) come from the passenger side dash area. Now from some Googling it seems that my likely issue is the blower motor resistor, however, I can't for the life of my find any information on this part for 2014-2019 Sierras. Was this part rolled into the blower motor itself? And follow up – should I just replace the blower motor anyway since I'm hearing that strange sound? I'm kind of feeling in the dark as it's been below freezing since it happened so I'm not super motivated to get outside without some type of plan. Thanks in advance, looking forward to contributing here!

Hmm that's a good question – I guess I'd have to make the drive up there to test drive it and hear it run. Of course the dealer claims it runs smooth. I'm a little worried about rust since it started life in Canada, though again that's something I'll have to go investigate on the lot. Are these trucks generally reliable after 100k? I'm guessing at about 1.5 years of ownership I'd hit 100k. Awesome I'll look into this, thank you.

Thanks for the reply! Here's the exact truck https://www.freewaytoyota.com/inventory/used-2017-gmc-sierra-1500-slt-4wd-4d-crew-cab-3gtu2nej6hg423649/ And here are the service records: https://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistory/ar20/L9X0it9RwjRjY948tV8p_375mJrsH7NixXy9SbV9qNyrUUn66hv6KCKa8rpOnjhlddxyDjmW-8j3VF4OPxG_OeU-QtSvHjGeQyM Looks like the camshaft was replaced and the vacuum pump. Then more recently the dealership it's at now did some maintenance to get it ready. I think they were quoting me the tow rating for the 3.23 rear axle, but the truck actually has the 3.42 ratio so you're likely right!

Hello All! Hopefully I'm posting in the correct forum! I'm looking to purchase a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 with 74k miles on the clock, 6.2 v8, max trailering package. It's currently listed at 36k though I'm trying to work a deal to get it a little bit lower. I'm wondering if there's anything I should look out for with this truck, or anything I should be concerned about as it nears 100k miles. I'm looking to purchase this as a daily driver (we don't drive much) and a tow vehicle for a travel trailer (gross weight is about 7500lbs). I went through the manual and it looks like this truck can tow about 11k lbs, thought the dealer is telling me it can tow 9k. Not sure where their numbers are coming from. Any gotchas, noises, etc. I should be looking for if I make the drive to check this truck out? Thanks in advance! Looking forward to lurking around here in the future.
