Gmc K2500 problems
The fourth generation of the C/K series is a range of trucks that was manufactured by General Motors. Marketed by the Chevrolet and GMC brands from the 1988 to the 2002 model years, this is the final generation of the C/K model line. In a branding change, GMC adopted the GMC Sierra nameplate for all its full-size pickup trucks, leaving the C/K nomenclature exclusive to Chevrolet.
Internally codenamed the GMT400 platform, GM did not give the model line a word moniker (e.g., "Rounded-Line series" for its predecessor). After its production, the model line would informally become known by the public as the "OBS" (Old Body Style), in reference to its GMT800 successor. In starting a different tradition, the model line overlapped production with both its predecessor and successor; the model line again shared body commonality with GM medium-duty commercial trucks.
Over nearly a 14-year production run, the fourth-generation C/K was assembled by GM in multiple facilities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. After the 2000 model year, the fourth-generation C/K was discontinued and was replaced by the GMT800 platform (introduced for 1999); the C3500HD heavy-duty chassis cab model remained in production through 2002. In line with the GMC Sierra, Chevrolet subsequently adopted a singular Chevrolet Silverado nameplate for its full-size truck line (which remains in use).

Common Gmc K2500 problems
The GMC Sierra 2500 is a popular heavy-duty pickup truck, but like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems. Here are some of the issues that have been reported by owners, based on the search results:
- Suspension problems: In some cases, the front upper control arms in the GMC Sierra 2500 have been known to have a bad weld near the control arm bushing, which can cause the control arm to change shape and eventually separate.

- Engine problems: Engine issues are also common in the GMC Sierra 2500, with complaints about the engine rebuild or replacement, cylinder head, head gasket, turbocharger or supercharger, and timing chain or belt. These problems can cause the engine to run poorly or to fail altogether, leading to costly repairs.
- Transmission problems: Transmission issues are another common problem in the GMC Sierra 2500, with complaints about the transmission rebuild or replacement, torque converter, and premature clutch replacement. These problems can cause the vehicle to shift roughly or to have trouble shifting at all, leading to difficulty driving.

- Paint problems: Paint issues are also a common problem in the GMC Sierra 2500, with complaints about fading, chalking, peeling, or cracking. These problems can be caused by exposure to the elements, poor quality paint, or damage to the vehicle's surface.
