  Sierra HD with the 8.1! - 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  By dkmalone - February 25 - 10:00 am

  The 2002 HD Sierra with the 8.1 V-8 and the Allison transmission is tremendous! I think there is so much hype over the Duramax, the 8.1 gets overlooked. Unless you drive 30,000 miles a year or expect to keep the truck forever the $4,000 premium for the diesel doesnt make sense. Properly equiped, both tow the same. But its that big block 496 cube engine that puts a smile on my face everytime I start it up. My wife loves driving it too! Im sure I could get better mileage, but I cant keep my foot out of it. I get about 12 MPG.

  Best of Fleet - 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  By Snickers - January 1 - 2:00 am

  I have a fleet of pickups. I have Dodge, Ford, Chevrolet and GMC. My General Motors vehicles are by far cheaper to maintain and operate of the fleet. My people all want the General Motors trucks for their ride and comfort. As I rotate I will go strictly with General Motors. They get ruff use in the oilfield and hold up. Thank You GM :-)

  great performance - 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  By hobackj - July 11 - 8:36 am

  I just recently purchased a 2002 GMC 2500hd Duramax diesel. It is a very dependable truck. It will pull any trailer that I need it to pull and if it doesn’t, a power chip can always be added for increase in horsepower and torque. This year and newer comes with the either a 6-speed or the automatic Allison transmission, both are great for pulling or just for driving, depending on what the owner mainly does with it. Without a chip this truck can get up to 18mph which is pretty good for a ¾ ton truck. Along with performing good this truck is also roomy with either the extended cab 4 door or the full 4 door versions. Another good thing about a diesel is that if they are taken care of they can ru

  DMAX - 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  By Herc - April 16 - 10:00 am

  I have put 52000 miles on this truck and it has performed well. I had a few problems at first but the only problem I still have is the AC. The AC still does not blow cold off and on during the summer. Been in 6 times for it now it is out of warrantee. I tow a 5th wheel rv and a 36 flat bed trailer and it does supurb.

  2500HD 4x4 6.0L - 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  By joel - March 10 - 9:36 am

  I really love this truck. I call it "big truck". I dont like the gas mileage, aprox 13 mpg but what could I expect. It definilety has the pulling power, and the acceleration that I would want. I drove a couple of F-250s and I just didnt like the ride quality as much as I do this truck. Im very happy with this truck

  Best GMC I have owned - 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  By Great truck, Rich - February 16 - 8:26 pm

  End of year clearance when I bought it. I got a good deal. I use it for work and hauling a 5th wheel camper. You hardly know you have the camper behind it. It is a pleasure to drive and with nearly 90k miles it is rattle free and quiet. The long bed makes towing a pleasure. The 4 wheel disks brakes are3 greatpaired with the ABS, I still have more than half the pads left, my other car is a Ford ambulance, Ill take the GMC any day over the Ford, Dodge is noisy and only has short beds with the crew cab. Im planing on a new GMC soon with a few more bells and whistles.

  Pleased - 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  By Gary - December 30 - 6:36 am

  We enjoy our 2500K HD Diesel powered truck except the cloth seats (front) are not comfortable on long runs. We are of average weight and find ourselves having to stop frequently. The seat become flat and loose cushion after being seated for short lengths of time. Order leather bucket if you can.

  Review of 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD - 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  By R Freni - October 8 - 10:00 am

  This is my second GMC Sierra 2500HD in the past two years, I love both of them. I have the 6.0L Engine (the smallest engine that I believe they put in this truck) in my truck and I have yet to find anything that I cant tow with it. The tow/haul feature works great. All in all this truck rides great, tows great and plows snow great (if you havent figured it out yet I think these trucks are GREAT!)I have not yet had to bring them back to the dealership for any type of repair other than normal service.
