So, due to blowing my back out, I can no longer get in and out of this truck, so I need something smaller. I bought this truck some years back from the original owner when it was still under factory warranty. I bought it to pull a RV I used for a summer then sold. Then I used it to pull a boat my wife made me sell...so, it doesn't get much use except for the occasional single aluminum car trailer for my antique car...so this thing really never towed but maybe 10,000 miles in it's life. It's a great truck, and I take very good care of it. It's never given me any real issues and I'm meticulous with maintenance. The brakes are all new on it within the last 6 months. The tires have maybe 5000 miles on them, they are like brand new. They are not recaps but brand new Mastercraft tires. The truck is white with black leather interior. The interior looks like it has 40,000 miles on it. No wear at all virtually. It has all the options, heated seats, ON STAR, power windows and locks, CD player, ect. No sun roof and no navigation.

 

Last spring, I was driving through a pretty good sized puddle just after installing this really cool ram air setup that I seen on "Trucks" TV Show and I sucked some water in the turbo and hydrolocked the engine. So, I went out and found a 60,000 mile 2006 LBZ engine and had it installed by a very reputable diesel shop outside of Chicago. I got a deal and bought the transmission as well insofar as mine had 280000 miles on it. So now, the engine and trans has 70,000 miles on it. I have all the receipts for all the work I had done ($10,000) plus tires and brakes I just had done. warranty good on engine and trans for another 4 months.

 

I had planned to keep this truck forever...but, after falling down a concrete flight of stairs after a few beers, my back won't allow me to keep it. I need something smaller like a Tahoe that's easier to get in and out of and can occasionally tow a trailer.

 

The exterior was always washed weekly and the truck is always inside. It's a nice truck! There are no issues with it.

 

I have more pics I will put up tomorrow.

GM recalling 22K Silverado and Sierra trucks for seat issue

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

General Motors will recall 21,721 of its new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups over front seats that could move if the vehicle is hit from behind. Affected vehicles all feature manual adjustments for the two front seats, according to a report from Automotive News.
Of the nearly 22,000 vehicles covered under the action, the overwhelming majority - 18,972 -- were sold in the United States. A further 2,575 were sold in Canada, while 103 were shipped south of the border to Mexico. Finally, another 71 were sold outside North America altogether. As of right now, there are no reports of injuries due to the defect.
Naturally, Chevy and GMC dealers will make the repairs free of charge, although it's not clear as of this writing if GM will be notifying owners or just addressing the issue at the truck's first service.

2015 GMC Canyon

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

As discussed earlier today, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado is a new standout in terms of midsize trucks. But the Colorado wasn't the only pickup the General Motors team brought to San Diego for us to sample. Also along for the ride was a pack of GMC Canyons, the slightly more expensive and polished platform-mate to the Chevy.
There's no question that the Canyon and the Colorado are a lot alike under the skin - almost entirely, in fact - so GMC has worked to first create some daylight between the two trucks by way of sheetmetal. This is most obvious from the front view, where the blocky and blingy GMC grille replaces the more subdued tone and shape seen on the Chevy's nose. Projector headlights with LED running lights come as standard, and, again, with the squared-off look that is typical of the brand. 16-inch aluminum wheels come stock on the GMC, too, with the 17-inchers seen on my photo truck offered as standard equipment on the top-trim SLT.
GMC considers the Canyon to be the only premium truck in the segment (which is clearly true), and the team has spent a ton of time and effort to get the interior correct to prove out that point. "Any trim that looks like metal, is metal," I was told at the product briefing, a certain indication that the company is serious about bringing a new class of buyer to a truck segment that it hopes to redefine.

2015 GMC Canyon is a Chevy Colorado in Sierra clothing [w/video]

Sun, 12 Jan 2014

Ford may not offer the Ranger in America anymore, nor Dodge (or Ram) its Dakota. But General Motors - not unlike Toyota with its Tacoma and Nissan with the Frontier - isn't about to give up on the midsize pickup market. Less than two months ago, it revealed the new Chevrolet Colorado, and now it's following up with its mechanical twin, the 2015 GMC Canyon.
Launched today ahead of its reveal at the Detroit Auto Show, the Canyon slots into the GMC lineup (and differentiates itself from its Chevrolet twin) with styling that closely apes the larger GMC Sierra 1500 and Sierra HD, only a size or two smaller. Oh, there are visual differences, like a subtly different grille treatment and lower fascia, but it still maintains its big brother's square-jawed good looks and rectilinear flared fenders.
Two aluminum-block engines with direct injection and variable valve timing are available: a 2.5-liter inline-four comes standard with 193 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and a 3.6-liter V6 is available with 302 hp and 270 lb-ft. Buyers will also be able to choose between three bodystyle configurations, three trim levels and either two- or four-wheel drive. A six-speed automatic transmits the power to the road, but a six-speed manual is available on the base model with the 2.5 and 2WD, and there's an All Terrain package available on SLE models. A diesel is expected later.
