All are in good condition, off of other 1998-2000 Summit White trucks, so no painting is needed.

Truck also comes with a new Flowmaster Force II 3" cat-back exhaust system.

Truck also comes with a new drivers side interior door handle assembly, 2 new power mirrors and a new power mirror switch assembly.

Needs: Once warmed-up, truck is blowing white smoke out of the exhaust and misfiring, and the computer is throwing a misfire code and check engine light for it. Smells like anti-freeze. I suspect a cracked intake manifold, head or block? There appears to be no excessive exhaust gas pressure or oil in the coolant, and no coolant in the oil. The top end of the motor had just been redone, including all new gaskets, but coolant is still leaking into the exhaust somewhere.
Passenger side doors are dented (wife backed into it, in the driveway!) (replacement doors included.) The A/C system needs evacuated and recharged, now that the leaking lines and accumulator have been replaced. Front windshield has a crack on the passenger side, by the A-pillar. The door locks are frozen if you try to use the key, but they lock and unlock fine, from the power buttons inside or with the keyfob remote. The drivers side interior door handle broke (common issue with these 95-00 trucks) (new door handle included.) The power mirrors do not work (new mirrors and switch assembly included). The exhaust system over-axle pipes, near the muffler exit, are rusting through (new cat-back exhaust system included.) Some body rust and paint peeling. It could use a good cleaning, inside and out. Please see all pics.


I have way too many projects to work on than time allows, and I'm downsizing my vehicle fleet. Private seller. Clear Ohio title in-hand, no liens... ready to transfer to the next prospective owner. Comes with a thick folder full of receipts and documentation.

Thanks.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
