Hello from the UK

Postby wacomuk [OP] » Jun 01 2012, 10:19am

Hi I have just joined the forum
We bought a 1999 GMC sierra which over here is quite a rare beast :)

I have a few issues with it that I am hoping to fix with the help of the forum :)

This is our truck

Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of good and knowlegable people on here to help you. It looks like the truck is a left hand drive, does that cause you any issues driving on the left side of the road? Or do you just get used to it.

Yes the truck is a LHD it was imported to the UK in 2007 from Texas. Not by us we have only just bought it

You get used to driving it sat on the wrong side, its only a problem when over taking, i dont do much of that as its $10 per gallon here
