Consumer Review Video - 2000 GMC C3500 Sierra SL 7.4L V8 Extended Cab Pickup (2 Door)
The 2000 GMC C3500 Sierra SL is an easy vehicle to maintain, but may be better suited for those with prior knowledge of vehicle maintenance. For instance, all of the bulb housings will need to be removed for access to the bulbs themselves, which will require multiple different tools and not allow for reliable changes. Accessing the power steering fluid reservoir may be a problem on account of its location deep in the engine bay. The same goes for the battery bracket, which is in a cramped location and may prove difficult to reach.
However, the 2000 GMC C3500 Sierra SL has many upsides. Both fuse boxes are easy to find and come provided with their own fuse pullers, allowing for reliable electrical troubleshooting. Monitoring the transmission fluid levels will be very easy as the dipstick has very open access. Changing the air filter isn’t a problem, and won’t require any tools.
