  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of a 1989 GMC Sierra W/T. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this truck while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this truck designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    I picked up this exact model a few days ago, it needs around 1000 in repairs, but it runs and drives like a dream, it's got dual exhaust straight pipes too.

    My 89 GMC Sierra SL 4X4 with long bed, has carpet, all gauges, a totally different dashboard. I just had the interior completely redone. Next is body work and paint, new mirrors, and bed finish. I had a new 5.7 l engine installed which now has approximately 80,000 miles. Traveling Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, S and N Dakota, Illinois, California to Missouri and after 11 years, Missouri back to California. No issues what so ever, until now, I need to install a new a/c compressor and the new California required a/c fluid. When I got back to California with it passed smog the very first time. If you get the idea I love this truck, you are right. BTW, I am a woman.

      +Beverly Jamison -Correction on the dashboard, it is somewhat like the one above but only it the style of it, all the radio, din, speakers, a/c-heat switches are different. It has power windows and locks. Of course, being a 4X4, it has the shift on the floor. It also was a HD set up with the RV towing package. When I changed out the engine, I have since replaced a good bit of the original parts as the such as distributor, i.e.. itself has 200,000 miles.

    Apparently that's not the W/T trim, despite being it an 1989 GMC Sierra C1500 it has the SL trim package which is the base trim. The Chevy C/K Pick-Up models had the W/T trim which based on the Cheyenne trim. The W/T trim didn't come out until 1990 which had the black grilles, black bumpers, and W/T 1500 decals. The W/T trim was only available for the regular cab Chevy C/K 1500 Pick-Ups with the 4.3 Liter V6. 1988-1989 model C/K Pick-Ups had the Cheyenne trim/Sierra SL trim as the base trim.

  • @carwhiz90
    @carwhiz90 11 лет назад

    I like W/T's b/c you can ding and scratch it up without having to worry about looks!! Those rims definitely suited for a truck like this. As suggested by the trim name: work hard and play hard

    • @themaritimegirl
      @themaritimegirl 7 лет назад +1

      That's what the W/T means - Work Truck. It was bare-bones trim level, and that's the reason for the single set of headlights rather than the separate high and low beams.

      He does that a lot. But in this case, it might have been because he had to jump it and didn't want the starter to crank and drain the battery. Too bad, because the truck has the 4.3 engine, which was rare in the C/K trucks, and even more rare with automatic. A cold startup would have been nice.
