Cheap work horse...this 1997 GMC Sierra 3500 Dump truck is gonna be a great addition to any company that needs a capable 4x4 to make money for them.  ONLY 75k MILES.  The 6.5l v8 diesel runs strong and smooth. The 5 speed manual transmission shifts great and the clutch grabs just as it should.  Going into 4 high and 4 low there are no issues, engages and disengages just fine.  It is a regular cab with the bench seat in the front.  The SL package is the standard work truck set up....just the basics for this beast.  It does have AC and am/fm cassette radio.

Now for the down side, but for the reasons that this truck can be pretty much stolen, it has some flaws and issues....again motor, transmission, and 4 wheel drive work great, but as you can see from the pics, there are a lot of areas with rot starting to get through.  Mostly on the outside of the dump body and then one spot on the front bumper.  The undercarriage has clear rust, but no rot through....again it is a 16 year old work truck.  PLEASE look at the pics and ask for anymore before bidding so it is clear what you are getting....I have seen many other older dump trucks with the same issues on the dump body's, and still get many more years of use out of them.  Interior wise, the bench has some tearing on it and the passenger window is off the track, minor things.  The one major concern there is, and why this truck MUST be picked up and not driven, is the brakes...now I drove this truck for a few miles and it feels as if the master cylinder is shot or there may be a leak in one of the lines.  I didn't see any brake fluid under the truck, but when you press the pedal its spongy at best and goes to the floor...it is NOT recommended to drive this until that issue is addressed.   A non driving issue is the dump body, I don't know if its a fuse, relay, or what ever, but it does not raise.   As for the tires, it will need them as well to be in top running shape.

Again, this truck will be cheap enough to buy, fix all the issues, and still be a deal and a half to someone....or maybe you have a similar truck and want some parts....either way ask me anything before bidding...Thank you.

I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my knowledge and ability, so please before bidding make sure you ask anything so if you do end up being the winning bidder and get the vehicle there are no surprises.  The truck is being sold AS IS and there are no warranty attached to it.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra first pickups to ace updated NHTSA tests [w/video]

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

General Motors has just become the first pickup truck manufacturer to receive five-star overall vehicle scores in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's New Car Assessment Program. The updated safety standards, which went into effect in 2011, are more strenuous than the previous NHTSA curriculum and involve collecting both more and more substantial data, reflecting the improved safety inherent in newer vehicles. This feat is made more impressive by the fact that both Ford and Ram have released brand-new trucks since the new testing went into effect - GM's victory is no technicality.
The rating only applies to the redesigned, light-duty Silverado, Sierra and their upmarket variants, High Country and Denali, respectively, while only Crew Cab variants were tested. Considering that the four-door body style will make up 60 percent of GM's light-duty truck sales, the exclusion of the other variants seems reasonable.
This news is sure to be yet another feather in GM's pickup-oriented cap. Be sure to scroll down for video of the crash testing, as well as the full press release from General Motors.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
Scroll down below for the complete press release with all the details.
