1995 Chevrolet Silverado K3500 6.5l Turbo Diesel 4x4 on 2040-cars

1995 Chevrolet Silverado K3500 4X4 6.5L Turbo Diesel I listed this the past couple of weeks and I have since
fixed the issue that was wrong with it. AS it turns out, it was the CPS or
Crankshaft Position Sensor. I took it for a long drive today after changing it
and ran like a top again and no SES lights. I was happy wasn’t the IP. Now this truck is for sale with no reserve. I have put about
15 grand into it in the past two years yet it won’t pull my new 5th wheel and I
have already moved on to a larger engine truck. It pulled my 30 foot just fine
but the big rig I got a few months back is just too much for it and I am just
not convinced that putting this turbo, this cooler, and such is the way to go
so here we sit! Some of the repairs that have been done in the past two
years: New long block and all externals 2 years ago to include
turbo, IP, injectors, glow plugs, 130 GPM water pump, harmonic balancer and pulley,
vacuum pump, Upgraded duramax dual t-stat, duramax Fan and clutch, hoses, flex
plate, new fuel system, new lines, hoses, belt, motor mounts, new starter and alternator,
new cooler hose and cooler for oil, and new PMD mounted in front of battery.
Plus I am sure much more small pieces were added I just can’t remember. Long Block is American and was $5500.00 Motor has 70,000
miles on it. I installed a new 4” exhaust system with SS muffler about
a year ago. I installed a new radiator about 6 months ago. I installed new U joints, had new front 4x4 shaft
installed also. I had a shop install new front end parts to include
axles, hubs, ball joints, bushings, upper control arms, tie rod ends,
suspension strut, stabilizers, and all bushings related about 8 months ago. I had rear end gone through about 6 months ago by a shop
and they replaced the yolk, bearings, and seals. I installed new brakes, calipers, rotors, hoses, rear
lines to front, drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, pads, spring kits, new emergency
brake cables, and ect… about 6 months ago. Front rotors are drilled and slotted
type. I found a like new bed in Georgia in my travels so I had
a body shop paint it to truck original color and install it about 6 months ago. I installed new grill, head lights, parking lights, and
led tail lights about a year ago. I put new front fenders on about a year ago. I replaced all the heating and cooling actuators, doors,
and control unit about 1.5 years ago. I installed new glow plug harness and battery cables I
had custom made when I installed the engine. Really nice! I had GM flush fluid in trans and change filter about a
year ago. Had them check tranny and was OK. I replaced the neutral safety switch about 7 months ago. And I just replaced the CPS today! I also added a K&N air intake about a year ago or so. I put on new tires and Rims about 4 months ago. Nice mags
to say the least. I am sure there are other things I have done but just so
much I can’t remember. Oil has been changed every 3 to 4 thousand miles since
new with Rotella 15/40. What I know is wrong with truck: There is one stabilizer that needs changed, looks loose
and I will change that this week when I get it home. There is a small drip and it could be coming from an oil
cooer line connector? I really don’t know but it is very minor. Could be a
valve cover too? Not really sure. Truck other than bed needs to be painted if desired.
Doors are in good shape. Small amount of rust on rocker panels under doors. There are a few minor dents on truck that I haven’t fixed
yet. Was planning on having that done this winter while on lay off. Plans have
changed! Interior is in decent shape. Front driver’s seat shows
wear. Carpet shows some wear but not bad for a truck with 320,000 on it. Antilock brakes don’t work and never have since I have
owned truck. Didn’t bother me at all. Other than that, the truck comes as is with no
warranties. The above is fact and I believe I have spelled it out to you as to
the best of my knowledge. 4x4 works but I don’t use it. Have tried it twice and
was fine. Please ask any questions before bidding. I have a clear
title and it is ready to go. I am taking it back home tomorrow to Jamestown, TN
if you would like to see it please let me know. Comes with 5th wheel hitch and tool box too. Thanks for looking! |

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
