Up for auction is my 1997 Chevrolet 1500 Suburban with the 6.5L diesel.  This truck has 235,076 miles on it.  I have owned this truck since 11/07  It starts right up and runs good.  It smokes when you first start it up when its cold out.  The transmission shifts well with no slippage.   I installed a remote located PMD  when I bought this truck and have had no issues with it since.  The PMD also has a #9 resistor installed. It has 2 strong heavy duty batteries.  I installed a new hydro-brake booster 18 months ago along with a new starter.  It has 4 matching Kumho Road Venture SAT tires with 50% tread life left mounted on GM aluminum rims.  The truck was aligned when I put the tires on back in 2010.  It is a very nice riding 'Burb.

The interior is in nice shape.  The exterior is in decent shape.  The paint still shines nice when it's clean, but it is rusting on the passenger rear quarter, the barn doors, and on the rockers.  It does have dings and scratches. It also has a dent on the front passenger fender on the top, close to where it meets the hood. 

The driver side, rear door does not lock.  The A/C was fixed 3 years ago but the high pressure line under the hood blew out.  I never repaired that line so it doesn't work.  The blower fan knob is getting a little touchy.  The cd player doesn't read discs. The power steering pump might be getting weak.  Sometimes the hydrobooster doesn't get the pressure it needs and the brake pedal will push hard. The engine leaks oil and fuel.  The barn doors leak when it rains hard in a certain direction.  I still have not been able to find out where it is getting in.  The carpet in the back has been removed because of it.  We just laid a blanket down in place of it.  The wastegate on the turbo has a vacuum leak and causes the check engine light to come on for awhile, go out, and then come back on whenever it feels like it.  The Service throttle soon light has come on several times and sent the truck into an idle mode.  You shut the truck off and restart it again and away it goes.  I replaced the app sensor in the pedal.  That seemed to work for about 10 months, but it started doing it again.  There is no rhyme or reason when it acts up.  I think there may be a ghost in the computer or something. I've tried to describe everything I can about this truck.  If you have any questions or want pictures of something specific, please don't hesitate to ask me.  If you are close and want to come test drive it let me know.  I tried to describe everything as accurately as I could.  This is sold-as-is with no warranty.

We drove this 'burb up until this week when we upgraded to a newer Yukon. 

This is pick-up only, no delivery.  Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
