A new trim designation and the loss of the four-wheel Quadrasteer option accompany the 2006 GMC Sierra 1500HD. This half-ton, full-size, heavy-duty pickup is both a workhorse and a comfortable passenger vehicle, with two rows of bench seats that ostensibly seat six, and a pickup bed that is 6.5 feet long. Available as either a rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, the powertrain consists of a 6.0-liter, 300-hp V8 and 4-speed automatic with a tow/haul mode that helps the 2006 Sierra 1500HD tow up to 10,300 pounds -- the highest tow rating of any half-ton pickup on the market.
An SLE2 joins the pack, which includes an SLE1 and SLT. All come with ABS brakes, dual front airbags, full power features, cruise control, and a CD player. The SLE2 adds a power driver's seat and automatic climate control, while the luxurious SLT features heated leather seats, rear audio control, a CD changer, and a 10-way power driver's seat. There are nice family-oriented options, including satellite radio and a DVD player, and a special camping/towing package offers extended mirrors for better visibility. There are many accessories for the 2006 Sierra 1500HD, including a roof rack, cargo cover, and tie-downs for the bed.
The GMC Sierra is not a big seller when compared to the Ford F series, but it does outscore the competition in terms of hauling performance, and many drivers are surprised by the nice list of standard features even in the base model. Poor fuel economy disappoints, and a somewhat outdated interior hurts the Sierra against its more modern rivals.
When I start up my GMC 1500hd 4x4 that has a 6.0 engine with 248,000 miles I have low oil psi. It is low enough at times that the truck has shut down. I can let it warm up (when it's cold weather) for about 10 minutes and drive down the road for about 7 miles and I then have 40psi on my oil psi gauge
Truck idles rough p0171 p0174 lean on both banks. It is need to know what will fix it. I had what if to the point is collaring me to death.
I have replaced the wires and plug and check engine light has not come on. I put ona code machine. It said the mass sen. Was bad so I placed it run like a new truck. Then the check engine came on for the first time, now it is run ragged again. I reset the check engines light. It runabout 5 miles down the road and it is on again. Code po101 & po171. What do I need do need to do next.
I am trying to decide what to put on my truck as far as wheels are concerned. It is hard to make an assessment when I can’t see what they actually look like on? Anyway, I have 305 65R17 tires BF Goodrich . I have a 2 inch body lift on my GMC Sierra 1500 Z-71. I want the tires to look good and I want the tire profile to come out from the truck a little and I was not sure what it would actually look like on my truck? I was also, not sure of offset. Can you all lead me in the right direction. Does anyone have a truck pic that I can look at? I need a 6 lug rim. Thanks in advance.
