 Hard to find a Duramax in this condition with these low miles at this price. I don't really need to sell it, I am just considering it because I sold the large living quarters trailer I used it to tow with and really do not need a truck this big anymore and somewhat tired of the inconveniences of diesel.. Never been used for hard work, only pulling horse trailers. I thought I was the second owner and guy I bought it from was the first, but the auto check says 3 owners. However, I have had it for the past 95,000 miles out of the 107,000 on it. Just had its 100k check-up about 2 years ago with no problems. This truck has only had an avg of 8000 miles put on it a year and is really just broken in for a diesel. No rust and no accidents, it would be considered in excellent condition except for the fender damage. With good fenders, I have seen comparable trucks like this listed in the $23k-25k range at dealerships. Everything works on it (except electric mirror control on sideways movement, you just push them in/out were you want them and then can adjust up/down as needed). Gooseneck tow ball and outlet in the bed with a Line-X professionally sprayed bed liner. Receiver hitch and bumper pull outlet also work and used recently. Tow transmission button on steering wheel and trailer brake actuator professionally installed under front dash (see pic). Just used push-button 4WD a month ago with no problems, drove great. Six brand new tires less than 2000 miles ago and new front shocks. Beautiful, smooth ride. Good regular maintenance and frequent fuel filter changes, no leaks, does not burn oil.Always starts. Has cold weather plug in if you need it or want to use it. Only been in the shop once about a year after I bought it for new u-joints probably around the 30k mark (which was a weird time for u-joint failure, which perplexed us, but they've been fine since). This truck has tremendous pulling power; had no problems through the Rocky mountains with a loaded 26' foot trailer on it. The performance of the Allison transmission spoils you for any other transmission especially how it saves your brakes. Transmission on this truck has always worked like a dream and made a lifelong fan of me for the Allison and probably the biggest thing I'll miss on this truck.
Left rear fender damage did not occur from an accident but from jack-knifing a flat bed trailer into it and the the speckling on the front of the fenders is from living on 4 miles of gravel road. (see photo details)
I have no idea if it is an LS or an LT as there are no markings to that effect, but I believe it is an LT since it is all leather and everything electric with the push-button 4WD. Single CD player. AC blows cold, but is manually controlled (not digital) and not separate on the driver/passenger sides. Other than that, I think it has all options. Even has the fog lights.  Front center console does not change into a bench seat, so captain seats in front. Leather all in good shape as front seats have always had seat covers on them. (interior photos are dusty due to living on a gravel road, but it will be cleaned if sold)

The ONLY trade I would consider would be for an EVEN trade on a K2500 Silverado or Sierra (Chevrolet/GMC). Since I would be trading a one-ton Duramax for a 3/4 ton gas, the 2500 would have to be newer (2002-2007 range) and lower miles (40k-70k). Must be gas, Must be an HD so it has the tow package, Must be a 4WD, Must be a long bed. Must have cruise. Must be an automatic. Must be a crew cab or will consider an extend cab if the right truck. No regular cabs. I will consider a basic W/T as long as it has cruise. Don't care if the 4WD is on the floor. Can be cloth and have a base interior package. Prefer a spray-in bedliner. Truck must be clean, run great, no accidents (clean carfax) and no rust. Of course, a gas 2500 equipped with an Allison would be given preference over any other trades, but I know they're pretty rare :)

Mileage may be slightly higher as I do use it about once a month for small local trips.
Payment of balance after deposit is by Bank Wire Transfer ONLY
Title free and clear.
Truck is available locally so listing may be cancelled at any time.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
