	~~1962~~ C/K trucks were available in smooth "Fleetside" or fendered "Stepside" versions. GMC called these "Wideside" and "Fenderside." Half-ton models were the C10 and K10 short-bed trucks, and C15 and K15 long-bed trucks. The 3/4 ton C20 and K20, as well as the one-ton C30, were also available. GMC did not use the "C" nomenclature, though their [[Four Wheel Drive\|4x4]] versions had the "K" designation. Trim lines were base and "Custom." Engines included 135 [[HP\|hp]] (101 kW) 236 in³ (3.9 L) and 150 [[HP\|hp]] (112 kW) 261 in³ (4.3 L) straight-6s, and a 283 in³ (4.6 L) V8 with 160 [[HP\|hp]] (119 kW). GMC trucks were also offered with the 305 in&sup3 (5.0 L) [[V6\|V6]] engine, which ranged in power from 125 [[HP\|hp]] (93 kW) to 142 [[HP\|hp]] (106 kW).		1960-'66 C/K trucks were available in smooth "Fleetside" or fendered "Stepside" versions.

	A coil-spring front suspension came in 1963 along with a new base engine, a 140 [[HP\|hp]] (104 kW) 230 in³ (3.8 L) I6, and an optional 165 [[HP\|hp]] (123 kW) 292 in³ (4.8 L) I6. The cab was changed for 1964, with elimination of the "wraparound" windshield and a new front grill design, along with various interior changes. Air conditioning and a 220 [[HP\|hp]] (164 kW) 327 in³ (5.4 L) V8 came in 1965. A new base engine finished the model in 1966 with a 155 [[HP\|hp]] (116 kW) 250 in³ (4.1 L) I6.

	*'''RECALL ALERT:''' On August 29, 2008, GM issued a GM-wide recall (no.08V441000) affecting 857,735 vehicles built between 2006-2008 and equipped with heated windshield washer fluid option including the 2007-2008 {{PAGENAME}} and GMC Sierra. The system was liable to short out causing cessation of function, smoke, possible fire and malfunctioning of other electronic systems in the car. GM urges owners of affected vehicles to go to their nearest local dealer so the problem can be remedied.[http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/29/doh-gm-recalls-857-735-vehicles-for-electrical-issue/]		*'''RECALL ALERT:''' On August 29, 2008, GM issued a GM-wide recall (no.08V441000) affecting 857,735 vehicles built between 2006-2008 and equipped with heated windshield washer fluid option including the 2007-2008 {{PAGENAME}} and GMC Sierra.

			*'''RECALL ALERT:''' On December 23, 2010, GM issued a recall affecting approximately 1,260 Cadillac Escalades, [[Chevrolet Avalanche]] and [[Chevrolet Silverado\|Silverado 1500s]], and [[GMC Sierra]] 1500s from MY 2011 due to a faulty rear-axle cross pin, which could fracture and become displaced within the axle. GM said that if the pin shifts out of position, it could create an interference condition and cause the rear axle to lock, in which case, the driver may not be able to maintain directional control of the vehicle and a crash could occur without prior warning.[http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/12/gm-issues-separate-recalls-on-cadillac.html]

	* On December 16th, 2010, The '''GMC Sierra All Terrain HD ~~concept~~''' is revealed. The four-door 2011 Sierra HD underpins the All Terrain concept, and power comes from The General's 6.6-liter Duramax diesel [[V8]]. A six-speed automatic sends the 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. Versus a normal Sierra HD, ground clearance has been increased by about three inches, width has been bumped up to 73 inches (four more than normal) and the whole package rides on 20-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 35-inch BFGoodrich KM2 mud terrain tires. Off-road performance is enhanced with the addition of Fox off-road shocks (just like the Ford Raptor). Inside, GM has fitted the All Terrain concept with a Denali-spec interior with additional satin metal finishes and a leather-wrapped dash. What's more, a next-generation stereo system with an 80-gigabyte hard drive has been fitted inside this concept, and we'll soon be seeing this new system across the full GM product range.[http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/16/detroit-preview-gmc-sierra-all-terrain-hd-concept-is-ready-for/]		:''Main article: [[GMC Sierra All Terrain HD Concept]]''

	* For 2011, the Silverado receives a mid-cycle facelift and mechanical refresh. The truck now features a completely new fully box-framed chassis that increases bending stiffness by 92% and beaming stiffness by 20%. The front subframe itself is 125% stiffer. There's also a redesigned independent front suspension system that offers up to a 25-percent greater front axle weight rating – up to 6,000 pounds (2,721 kg) front gross axle weight rating (FGAWR), while at the back, there's new, larger asymmetrical leaf-spring design. The big news is under the hood where the Silverado offers two engine options: a 6.0 litre ''Vortec'' [[V8]] VVT mated to GM's Hydra-Matic 6L90 6-speed slushbox and a re-engineered 6.6 litre Duramax ''Diesel'' [[V8]] that pumps out best in class horsepower and torque at 397 and 765. [[Allison]]'s [[Allison 1000 transmission\|1000 6-speed Automatic]] has been strengthened to handle the higher torque capability of the improved diesel engine. The Duramax also has B20 capability and a huge catalyst system with urea injector (costing $3 for a refill), similar to [[Mercedes-Benz]]'s AdBlue system, which nullifies the toxic fumes and particulates produced by diesel. The latter combination delivers more power while returning an 11% increase in fuel efficiency. The new powertrains equate to better towing performance; the 3500 now has a tow rating of 16000 lb while the Heavy Duty tows an astonishing 20000 lb. The new Silverado will go on sale in the States in summer 2010.
