Looking at a 2008

[Bowtie_Beast]

Wow! My profile is still active! lol Haven't been on here for a few years, but I'm looking at a 2008 Sierra. I did a couple different VIN checks, but none show the color. Thought that was kinda weird. Does anyone have a VIN check website you use, or even a list of colors for that year would be helpful. Not that I need it, but I was just curious. lol

Anything else I should look for/at when I check it out? It's a 5.3 crew cab 4x4 with 122k. 

Thanks!

I use Compnine to get the RPO codes.

 

2008 will have 4-speed transmission.  Late 2009s introduced 6-speed and could have integrated trailer brake controller plus bluetooth for phone and such.  

 

Any concerns with the suspension or motor?

Rust, check for rust.

 

The bottom of all the doors need to be checked. Under the rubber trim piece they will start the bubble and rust at the metal seams. And of course wheel well rust.

 

The rest is just normal mechanical stuff.

Thanks guys. Looks fairly clean from the pics. Rust is always an issue in MI.
