1995 Chevrolet Silverado K3500 4X4 6.5L Turbo Diesel

I listed this the past couple of weeks and I have since fixed the issue that was wrong with it. AS it turns out, it was the CPS or Crankshaft Position Sensor. I took it for a long drive today after changing it and ran like a top again and no SES lights. I was happy wasn’t the IP.

Now this truck is for sale with no reserve. I have put about 15 grand into it in the past two years yet it won’t pull my new 5th wheel and I have already moved on to a larger engine truck. It pulled my 30 foot just fine but the big rig I got a few months back is just too much for it and I am just not convinced that putting this turbo, this cooler, and such is the way to go so here we sit!

Some of the repairs that have been done in the past two years:

New long block and all externals 2 years ago to include turbo, IP, injectors, glow plugs, 130 GPM water pump, harmonic balancer and pulley, vacuum pump, Upgraded duramax dual t-stat, duramax Fan and clutch, hoses, flex plate, new fuel system, new lines, hoses, belt, motor mounts, new starter and alternator, new cooler hose and cooler for oil, and new PMD mounted in front of battery. Plus I am sure much more small pieces were added I just can’t remember.  Long Block is American and was $5500.00

 Motor has 70,000 miles on it.

 

I installed a new 4” exhaust system with SS muffler about a year ago.

I installed a new radiator about 6 months ago.

I installed new U joints, had new front 4x4 shaft installed also.

I had a shop install new front end parts to include axles, hubs, ball joints, bushings, upper control arms, tie rod ends, suspension strut, stabilizers, and all bushings related about 8 months ago.

I had rear end gone through about 6 months ago by a shop and they replaced the yolk, bearings, and seals.

I installed new brakes, calipers, rotors, hoses, rear lines to front, drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, pads, spring kits, new emergency brake cables, and ect… about 6 months ago. Front rotors are drilled and slotted type.

I found a like new bed in Georgia in my travels so I had a body shop paint it to truck original color and install it about 6 months ago.

I installed new grill, head lights, parking lights, and led tail lights about a year ago.

I put new front fenders on about a year ago.

I replaced all the heating and cooling actuators, doors, and control unit about 1.5 years ago.

I installed new glow plug harness and battery cables I had custom made when I installed the engine. Really nice!

I had GM flush fluid in trans and change filter about a year ago. Had them check tranny and was OK.

I replaced the neutral safety switch about 7 months ago.

And I just replaced the CPS today!

I also added a K&N air intake about a year ago or so.

I put on new tires and Rims about 4 months ago. Nice mags to say the least.

 

I am sure there are other things I have done but just so much I can’t remember. Oil has been changed every 3 to 4 thousand miles since new with Rotella 15/40.

 

What I know is wrong with truck:

There is one stabilizer that needs changed, looks loose and I will change that this week when I get it home.

There is a small drip and it could be coming from an oil cooer line connector? I really don’t know but it is very minor. Could be a valve cover too? Not really sure.

Truck other than bed needs to be painted if desired. Doors are in good shape. Small amount of rust on rocker panels under doors.

There are a few minor dents on truck that I haven’t fixed yet. Was planning on having that done this winter while on lay off. Plans have changed!

Interior is in decent shape. Front driver’s seat shows wear. Carpet shows some wear but not bad for a truck with 320,000 on it.

Antilock brakes don’t work and never have since I have owned truck. Didn’t bother me at all.

 

Other than that, the truck comes as is with no warranties. The above is fact and I believe I have spelled it out to you as to the best of my knowledge. 4x4 works but I don’t use it. Have tried it twice and was fine.

Please ask any questions before bidding. I have a clear title and it is ready to go. I am taking it back home tomorrow to Jamestown, TN if you would like to see it please let me know. Comes with 5th wheel hitch and tool box too.

Thanks for looking!

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
