2004 Gmc Sierra 3500 Dually Crew Cab Duramax Turbo Diesel Allison 4x4 on 2040-cars
Canton, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for auction is my 2004 (actually 2004.5) GMC Sierra SLT 3500 Duramax
Dually 4 door crew cab, in immaculate Fine Silver Birch Metallic paint.
Overall it is in exceptional condition. I am the 2nd owner. Here in CT, this truck does not need any emissions testing EVER due to GVWR. This was a
CT truck for it's entire life, used to tow a camper around the country
and move firewood. It was never a "work" truck. It is currently daily
driven and gets consistently 15 mpg around town, a bit more on the
highway. With a programmer on economy/tow mode, it would get more like
17 (I have never had a programmer on this truck). Clean title, and no
known accidents. I am only selling because it is too much truck for my
needs. I am looking to downsize to a more fuel efficient daily car and
older pickup for the dirty work.
Injector balance rates checked out good about 6K miles ago. Balance rates were as follows: Neutral (+/- 4 is the limit) 1: 1.2 2: -.2 3: -.9 4: 1.2 5: -3.4 6: -1.8 7: 2.8 8: 2.0 Drive (+/- 6 is the limit) 1: 1.4 2: -.3 3: -1.8 4: 1.2 5: -2.8 6: -.9 7: 3.1 8: .2 It starts perfectly on even the coldest morning without the assistance of the block heater (started flawlessly when it was down to -9 degrees last month, first thing in the morning without the plug) Basic Rundown: - LLY 6.6L V8 Duramax Diesel - around 201,000 miles and going up, this truck is currently daily driven (picture shows mileage a few weeks ago when I took them at slightly lower mileage) - Allison 5 speed automatic trans with Tow/Haul mode and factory trans temp gauge - Push button 4x4 transfer case (2H/4H/4L) - SLT Trim package (highest model) - Gray Leather - Dual Power and heated seats - Power windows and locks - Power heated tow mirrors - On Star - Cruise Control - Full Driver's information center on dash - Digital Dual HVAC controls, great Heat and A/C - Rear stereo controls - In Dash 6 CD changer - Bose Stereo system - Fog and bed lights Recent Work: - Front impact sensor replaced 100 miles ago (no airbag issues, sensor just quit which is common) - Fuel filter changed 2K miles ago - Engine oil and filter change with Rotella T6 fully synthetic 2K miles ago - 6 new tires mounted and balanced 6K miles ago - Front end alignment 6K miles ago - nothing noted as needing replacement in the front end and it aligned just fine - A couple new tie rods 6K miles ago - Completely rebuilt gauge cluster with all new servo motors and lighting 8K miles ago - Transmission drained and filled with Transynd fully synthetic ATF and spin on filter replaced 8K miles ago - fluid dark, but I did not do a complete flush, just a drain. - Transfer Case drained and filled with Transynd fully syntheitc ATF 8K miles ago - Rear Diff Drained and filled with Amsoil extreme duty fully synthetic gear oil 8K miles ago - Both front hubs replaced 15K miles ago - Alternator replaced 15K miles ago - Serpentine belt tensioner and accessory belt replaced 15K miles ago - Water pump replaced 15K miles ago - Coolant flushed 15K miles ago - 2 new batteries roughly 1.5 years ago Extras: - Prodigy progressive brake controller - 5th wheel rails in bed (I have never used them) - Factory rear trailer hitch receiver - AEM Brute force intake - front bug deflector (currently not installed) - Block heater - Tubular chrome side steps Issues/Work needed: - Driver's seat has the typical edge rip and non-functional heater elements. Rear seat bottom middle has a rip smaller than a penny - Cracks in the Dually bed sides (common and nearly unavoidable - noted in pictures) - Interior of the bed is dinged/dented from moving firewood, etc - can get some pics, but the bed is full of snow right now - Slight surge at idle. Possible cause is the Fuel Pressure Regulator on its way out, and does not affect driveability and is only noticeable at idle - a brand new FPR is included but not yet installed - it cost roughly $300 - Rockers are JUST starting to bubble on each side in small locations, noted in the pictures. Otherwise the underside and frame are very clean with only minor scale. Factory paint is still present on the frame, with the exception of the rear kickup and spare tire carrier area. You can blame the lovely CT road treatments for the minor stuff starting... - Front diff was going to be drained and filled with amsoil when I changed the oil next. Included is the necessary amsoil to drain and fill the front diff. - Minor paint blemishes here and there typical of a 10 year old vehicle. Nothing too significant, as the pics show - I would give the trans a full flush at the next service. It has never given me issues, but I'd like to replace ALL of the fluid, not just a drain and fill as I did which only gets 50% of the old fluid out You will not be disappointed by this truck. It is extremely reliable and has been well maintained. It is ready to be daily driven. I currently have a loan out on this truck, so the title will be retrieved when payment is received in full (paypal, cash or bank check only - payment must clear at the credit union before I can get the title) Non-refundable $500 deposit due w/in 48 hours of auction ending - no exceptions. I will relist immediately if this is not met. Payment must be received in full within 7 days of auction end, at which point the vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of auction end. KBB Value in "Very Good" condition is $16,434 NADA Value "Clean Retail" is $19,850 Please email me with any questions or to set up a time to view. Located in Canton, CT 06019 This vehicle is being sold in as-is condition. It is encouraged that you set up a time to view in person before the bidding ends, to inspect for yourself. There is no warantee expressed or implied. This is a 10+ year old truck so I may have missed some normal wear and tear in its condition. I believe that I have fairly represented this truck to the best of my ability and knowledge. |

GM renders new Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon pickups
Thu, 08 Aug 2013At a series of industry seminars in Traverse City, MI today, General Motors executive vice president Dan Ammann gifted us with our first glimpse of the upcoming midsize pickup range from Chevrolet and GMC.
Just two slivers of nose are all we can see of the soon-to-be announced Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon, though the teaser image does make plain that the pair will follow the styling cues (at least up front) found on big brothers Silverado and Sierra.
GM hasn't given us much in the way of detail in its ultra-brief press release that accompanied the teaser image, which is to be expected. We're told only that the pair of trucks are designed to be "capable, versatile and fuel-efficient alternatives to full-size pickups" and that production will start sometime in 2014, at the Wentzville, MO assembly center.
GM mulling off-road variants of fullsize SUVs
Tue, 24 Sep 2013According to General Motors, owners "just love off-roading with [its fullsize body-on-frame sport utility vehicles]," namely the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon. If that's the case, it's a bit odd that sales of the previous generation of these models with the Z71 off-road package didn't sell particularly well.
Perhaps, considering this disconnect between owner's thoughts and desires with actual sales, it's not surprising that General Motors is reportedly "considering" an off-road specific model. That means the package would include styling changes and badges along with suspension modifications and larger wheels with appropriately sized fender flares.
There's no indication if the off-road model would be called Z71 or when it may potentially go on sale, assuming it ever goes on sale at all.
Satisfaction with dealer service rises, Lexus and GMC are tops
Thu, 14 Mar 2013During the economic downturn, many car dealerships counteracted their slowing income by focusing on things that would set them apart from competition - things like the quality of customer service they provide. When the economy picked up and more sales and service followed, many also first invested those funds back into the business, improving their dealership facilities and service centers.
It looks like those investments are paying off, as J.D. Power and Associates' latest Customer Service Index Study shows that overall consumer satisfaction with dealer service has increased to 797 (on a 1,000-point scale), up from 787 in 2012 and 29 points higher than the score in 2011. The study also finds that people are more satisfied with the service they get at dealerships compared to independent service providers, despite the much higher average out-of-pocket cost per visit ($118 vs. $44).
Note, however, that this study only looks at how people are treated by a dealer's service department during the first three years of ownership (the survey is based on responses from 91,000 owners and lessees of 2008 to 2012 model year vehicles), so we're talking about the experience had when bringing a car in for repair or maintenance work, most likely under warranty. In fact, maintenance work is increasing in share and accounted for 77 percent of service visits (up from 72 percent in 2012 and 63 percent in 2011). This helps explain why customer satisfaction has also risen, since a properly maintained car is one that's less likely to require a dealer visit for an unexpected repair.
