  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of a 1989 GMC Sierra. 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.

    It was actually fairly common for GM to put a 4.3 L V-6 in most of their trucks during that era. My uncle Don had an 86 GMC pick up with a 4.3 in it, and I wish he’d kept it. That was a great little old truck. I am surprised that they only put a V-6 in a truck this size though.

    Great video as always Kyle! My dad years ago had a '88 Chevrolet work truck, had a box on it but no boom or bucket, and it had the 350 V-8 but only a 3/4 speed, and it was built on a recreational vehicle cab/chassis rather than a truck chassis like that truck.
    He loved that truck, he bought it new in '88 and it was stolen 8 years later, unfortunately.

    Kyle, I believe that would be a 250 in.³ or I can't remember if it is a 4.8 or 4.9 L in-line six in that truck. The 4.3 L V6 was not used in that particular body style because that was the "carryover "version of the GMC truck.

I had a 2 Wheel Dr. 1986 Chevrolet C 10 with the 4.3 V6 and the three speed automatic 2 Wheel Dr. it wasn’t my favorite powertrain combination as I have a 1982 Chevrolet C 10 with a 305 and a three speed with low range manual transmission. The only thing about that pick up is it was converted to propane back in the day and all of the gasoline fuel components have been lost to time long before I ever got the pick up.

    According to Wikipedia, the only two 6 cyl engines available at that time were the 4.3 v6 or a 4.8 inline 6. Since that is a V shaped engine, it has to be the 4.3.

    there was an overlap between the generations. most of the trucks changed for 1988 but the old generation was kept for the crew cabs, commercial trucks, full size SUVs and i think regular cab duallies till after 1991. think the big kodiak, the real big commercial truck, changed for 1990. GM has been overlapping generations since then i think, running the old ones for 1 to a few years for certain kinds or limited runs. ford did it a couple times too even dodge did it at least once maybe twice too;

      One thing GM should maybe have considered was offering a turbocharged version of the 6.2 just as they did with the 6.5, maybe they did but space, cost or something else in the engine's design meant they couldn't.
