Hello all. Up for sale is my 2004.5 CHEVROLET DURAMAX DIESEL SILVERADO 2500HD LT CREW CAB. This is the "LLY" version which is the 2nd version GM offered in 2004 with the improved fuel injector design.

WHY I AM SELLING THE TRUCK:
Quite frankly, I do not use it to it's full potential. While it still has some residual value, I figured it would be best to sell it in lieu of something more suited for my commuting needs. The majority of the miles driven on this truck are highway miles.

HOW THIS TRUCK WAS USED:
I am the original owner of this truck since I bought it NEW off the lot in Dallas, TX back in 2004.
I decided on this particular truck because I knew that I would be accruing lots of mi. on a vehicle to commute long distances [sometimes up to 25-30k mi. in a yr] and that I needed something that was stout enough to be able to handle those miles dependably. I used it as a 2nd source of income working for real estate developers yrs. gone by to pull tractors from the frame hitch. This was done on an occasional basis whenever there was work. It was not my full time job.

AFTERMARKET ITEMS THIS TRUCK HAS:
This is primarily a STOCK truck. However, here are a couple aftermarket items that I did add to it:

-- BILSTEIN SHOCKS [RIDES THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE FROM THE FACTORY]
-- DRIVERS/PAX TINTED WINDOWS [CAME WITH FACTORY TINT FOR REAR SIDE
   WINDOWS AND REAR WINDOW]
-- [2] approx. 6mo. old EVERSTART MAXX 800 CCA BATTERIES
-- LINE-X BEDLINER WITH OVER THE RAILS COVERAGE
-- N.FAB TWO STEP WHEEL-WHEEL SS NERF BARS
-- HANKOOK ATM DYNAPRO TIRES LT245/75R16 LOAD E [VERY GOOD CONDITION
   WITH LOTS OF TREAD]

**NOTE** This truck is NOT a tuner truck and has NEVER been a tuner truck. I did not tow anything super heavy with it and this truck has more than adequate power for what I used it for.

WHAT THIS TRUCK NEEDS:
This truck does have a couple of items that are in need of repair/replace.

-- Windshield is cracked.
-- RT Frnt passenger window just stopped going down -- new motor/assy at AUTOZONE is around
    $150
-- It has a "surge" sometimes at idle. This points to a faulty fuel-pressure regulator. This a
   very common and pesky issue with these trucks. It does not mean you cannot drive the truck still.
   In fact, I have driven this truck like this for a while. It is just more of a nuisance than anything.
   Look it up on all of the forums or "google" it if you wish.
-- Missing RT Frnt. passenger power seat plastic knob adjuster that fell off and was lost. [can be seen
   in picture]
-- RT Front mirror has plastic bits of the mirror missing and mirror glass is cracked. Fully functional
   still including RH integral turn signal and power mirror folding option fully functional.
-- Various rock chips, dings/dents, scratches, etc. as expected from a 200k+ mi. truck.
-- Driver seat appears that up/down selector does not work. Actuation noise is made when the knob is moved up/down. All other adjustments work.
-- There are some stains, scratches, dents/dings, etc. on exterior/interior of the truck. I will try my best to represent all obvious imperfections.
-- One missing rear floormat.
-- Some clear-coat on alloy wheels appears penetrated, and some oxidation has formed on an area of two of the factory wheels. Please advise if you want close-up pics.
 
MECHANICAL CONDITION OF TRUCK:
This truck has served me very well and continues to serve me very well. To my knowledge,
everything is in good condition and works. I was anal about oil/filter fuel/filter changes to this rig
over it's life. I ALWAYS used OEM or better filters [Like WIX/BOSCH] Oil used was either Shell
Rotella, MOBIL 1 DELVAC or MOBIL 1 TURBO DIESEL oil. There are no leaks of any kind in my driveway from oil.

The "mighty" Allison transmission has also always been serviced at the fluid change intervals including spin on filter changes and shifts and strong and smooth as the day I bought it. There are no leaks of any kind in my driveway from any transmission fluid.

I faithfully had the rear differential oil changed at the recommended intervals as well as the lubing of the chassis zirc fittings at their recommended intervals. There are no leaks of any kind in my driveway from and diff. fluid or chassis fluids, etc.

The drive-ability/handling of this truck is very good and very smooth.

THIS MOTOR RUNS STRONG. Upon cold start-up, this motor does not produce any smoke of any kind to indicate any problems. Like I mentioned above, it has always been serviced and has never had any tuners or aftermarket "performance parts" added to it -- PERIOD. I cannot overemphasize that enough.

HVAC: A/C BLOWS COLD. Heat works as it is supposed to.

There is not doubt in my mind that this motor would go another 200k mi. EASILY. I have personally talked to some owners at the local dealership who brought their 2004 in for servicing with over 500k original mi. These Duramax diesel motors have established some very impressive reliability/longevity numbers.

**NOTE** Current Mi. are approx. 209670+ as I continue to drive this vehicle some until sold.
Please contact me for more interior pics or other pics that you may want to see in greater detail that are not included in this ad and I will try to meet your needs ASAP.

**NOTE** Local Pick-Up will enjoy a $500 discount off the final purchase price.

Thank you and Good Luck!!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
