2500 Silverado Duramax Diesel Work Truck Utility Bed on 2040-cars
Fort Myers, Florida, United States
This has been my personal truck that I drive to my daily job and side jobs on weekends that I have owned since January 2005. I bought this truck as I intended on going into business for myself as a marine diesel mechanic and added the Omaha tool bed that I bought new in 2006 and my job changed a little. I still drive the truck daily and back and forth to South Carolina a few times a year for work. I really do not want to get rid of this truck because it is paid for and I have had it for so long and know the history of it but I need a crew cab due to kids and have ordered a new truck. I tell you all this stuff because I want you to know what you are buying. The truck runs beautiful no smoke , no leaks and drives perfect just did a round trip to north Georgia 12 hours each way and would not hesitate to do it again. It has michellin LTX tires on it with good life with no plugs or patches in them, based on my first set they probably have 30,000 left in them. It has eagle 086 aluminum wheels that have clear cote imperfections and chrome lugnuts have surface rust on the chrome. Has a factory trailer hitch with trailer brakes and a new brake controller, I rented a trailer that had brakes and I had to buy a controller to rent the trailer, towed 10,000pounds to SC and got 15mpg doing 70 on the interstate. The engine had the injectors updated around 170,000 miles they were not bad but dealer diagnosed problem incorrectly and did them under the 200,000 mile injector warranty, high pressure fuel pump was bad so I replaced that at the same time. Water pump was replaced at 205,000 miles, rear u-joints have been replaced, all shocks were recently replaced and bumpstops replaced in front, drivers seat was reupholstered at local shop but I think the springs are broken causing the cushion to have sag in it. I rolled the truck over in a accident in 2005 and the insurance company would not total it instead they put a cab and bed on it, you really cannot tell but cab has a gold firewall the only thing that I could notice after repair. I had a rear end accident with it a few years ago and got a grapefruit size dent in the bumper so I bought a new one to replace it. I ordered the tool bed the way I wanted it with flip top boxes and the forward compartment goes the width of the bed, inside dimensions are 72"x48" I did this to keep large parts dry, I had diamond plate that lined the bed for protection but removed because a battery leaked in the back and ate a hole in the aluminum and caused rust underneath you can see in the pictures you could easily cut this out and weld a new piece of steel in or put a piece of plywood over it. I get 15mpg in the city and 20mpg on the highway if I keep it under 70mph. Rear axle seals have been recently replaced and I just had a solenoid go bad in the transmission so it got new fluid and filters replaced at the chevy dealer. I hope this detail of the repairs do not derail you but any truck with 245,000 miles is going to have repairs and I just want to be honest about what has been done, I am not a car dealer nor do I want to be one I really hate selling stuff because I want people to know what they are getting. If you have questions or want more pictures let me know send a message. Always have used shell rotella 15-40 oil , ac compressor is less than a year old and I put a new condenser in at the same time. Evaporator was changed after the injector repair as it got damaged during the process, heater works is not bypassed and does not leak, cruise control works, tow haul mode works it has manual windows, four wheel drive works and the rear end has the factory locker in it. Truck has a aftermarket JVC radio with Sirius satellite radio with a fresh 1 year subscription that I will leave in it. Steering wheel has chunk of foam missing so I put a cover on it. The bed came with only 2 holes cut on each side so I did not put in the back-up lights I wil include them with the sale along with all paperwork , spare parts and manuals I can find for it. It also takes fuel slow due to placement of fuel fill on the utility bed you just cant go wide open with the nozzle or it will spit back at you. take your time and fill slow and is fine, probably could be fixed easy but I got used to it. Antilock brake module is bad I had it repaired and it did not last you do not need it to drive the truck only needed fo abs to work. Air bag light is on and has been on since accident do not know if it needs to be reset or replaced. That's pretty much the entire history of the truck, repairs and minor issues, please do not let my honesty deter you away from this truck as it runs and drives perfect and all you need to do is put your tools in it and go to work |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
