I went to look at a 2019 Sierra Denali yesterday afternoon over in DIP and the second the guy started it up and that 6.2 V8 rumbled to life I completely forgot every sensible question I had planned to ask him about the transmission fluid changes and whether the magnetic ride shocks had ever been serviced or if they were just bouncing along on borrowed time. The truck is immaculate inside with the brown leather and all the cooled seats work which is a miracle in this heat but when I crawled underneath to take a peek I noticed what looked like a small seep around the rear main seal area and the seller said it's just sweat from the AC condenser dripping down which I'm pretty sure is not how gravity or physics actually work. I've been burned before by a used Silverado that ended up needing a whole new torque converter six months in so I'm a little paranoid about the 8 speed transmission shudder that everyone talks about on the forums and I really don't want to be that guy stuck on the side of the E611 with a dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. I've been reading through some old threads on here and saw a few people mention they used a GMC Pre Purchase Inspection in Dubai before buying their trucks and the inspector actually found stuff like a cracked exhaust manifold bolt or a leaking oil cooler line that the seller either didn't know about or was hoping the buyer wouldn't notice. I'm just trying to decide if I should trust my gut that this truck is as clean as it looks or if I should spend a bit extra to have someone with a proper scanner and a lift tell me what I'm really getting myself into before I sign anything.
