Hard to find a Duramax in this condition with these low miles at this price. I don't really need to sell it, I am just considering it because I sold the large living quarters trailer I used it to tow with and really do not need a truck this big anymore and somewhat tired of the inconveniences of diesel.. Never been used for hard work, only pulling horse trailers. I thought I was the second owner and guy I bought it from was the first, but the auto check says 3 owners. However, I have had it for the past 95,000 miles out of the 107,000 on it. Just had its 100k check-up about 2 years ago with no problems. This truck has only had an avg of 8000 miles put on it a year and is really just broken in for a diesel. No rust and no accidents, it would be considered in excellent condition except for the fender damage. With good fenders, I have seen comparable trucks like this listed in the $23k-25k range at dealerships. Everything works on it (except electric mirror control on sideways movement, you just push them in/out were you want them and then can adjust up/down as needed). Gooseneck tow ball and outlet in the bed with a Line-X professionally sprayed bed liner. Receiver hitch and bumper pull outlet also work and used recently. Tow transmission button on steering wheel and trailer brake actuator professionally installed under front dash (see pic). Just used push-button 4WD a month ago with no problems, drove great. Six brand new tires less than 2000 miles ago and new front shocks. Beautiful, smooth ride. Good regular maintenance and frequent fuel filter changes, no leaks, does not burn oil.Always starts. Has cold weather plug in if you need it or want to use it. Only been in the shop once about a year after I bought it for new u-joints probably around the 30k mark (which was a weird time for u-joint failure, which perplexed us, but they've been fine since). This truck has tremendous pulling power; had no problems through the Rocky mountains with a loaded 26' foot trailer on it. The performance of the Allison transmission spoils you for any other transmission especially how it saves your brakes. Transmission on this truck has always worked like a dream and made a lifelong fan of me for the Allison and probably the biggest thing I'll miss on this truck.
Left rear fender damage did not occur from an accident but from jack-knifing a flat bed trailer into it and the the speckling on the front of the fenders is from living on 4 miles of gravel road. (see photo details)
I have no idea if it is an LS or an LT as there are no markings to that effect, but I believe it is an LT since it is all leather and everything electric with the push-button 4WD. Single CD player. AC blows cold, but is manually controlled (not digital) and not separate on the driver/passenger sides. Other than that, I think it has all options. Even has the fog lights. Front center console does not change into a bench seat, so captain seats in front. Leather all in good shape as front seats have always had seat covers on them. (interior photos are dusty due to living on a gravel road, but it will be cleaned if sold)

The ONLY trade I would consider would be for an EVEN trade on a K2500 Silverado or Sierra (Chevrolet/GMC). Since I would be trading a one-ton Duramax for a 3/4 ton gas, the 2500 would have to be newer (2002-2007 range) and lower miles (40k-70k). Must be gas, Must be an HD so it has the tow package, Must be a 4WD, Must be a long bed. Must have cruise. Must be an automatic. Must be a crew cab or will consider an extend cab if the right truck. No regular cabs. I will consider a basic W/T as long as it has cruise. Don't care if the 4WD is on the floor. Can be cloth and have a base interior package. Prefer a spray-in bedliner. Truck must be clean, run great, no accidents (clean carfax) and no rust. Of course, a gas 2500 equipped with an Allison would be given preference over any other trades, but I know they're pretty rare :)

Mileage may be slightly higher as I do use it about once a month for small local trips.
Payment of balance after deposit is by Bank Wire Transfer ONLY
Title free and clear.
Truck is available locally so listing may be cancelled at any time.

GM does not have to turn over its ignition switch documents

Fri, Nov 27 2015

In June the lawyer representing plaintiffs suing General Motors over faulty ignition switches accused GM and its firm King & Spalding of working together to cover up the malfunction. Bob Hilliard said that certain communication between GM and King & Spalding from 2010 to 2013, mainly focused on three Chevrolet Cobalt crashes, would reveal that they conspired in "burying what they knew" concerning the defect, and furthermore that the law firm broke rules of professional conduct once it found out about "ongoing fraudulent concealment" at GM. Hilliard filed a motion in a Manhattan court to force GM and King to hand over the memos, which were protected by attorney-client privilege. Hilliard said that the alleged ongoing fraud should trump attorney-client privilege, a GM spokesman said at the time that the issues in question had already been discussed previously, and that plantiffs already had much of the communication Hilliard's motion sought. US District Judge Jesse Furman ruled in favor of GM and King, refusing to order the release of the communication. In spite of finding probable cause that GM was engaging in a crime or fraud by not revealing the ignition switch defect, Furman did not find cause to believe that GM and King's discussions at the time were centered around continuing that potential crime or fraud. Saying also that plantiffs already had many of the disputed documents, attorney-client privilege should hold sway over the remainder. The class action case goes to trial in January 2016.

Plug In 2014: VIA makes the case for 'free' plug-in hybrid work vans, trucks

Fri, Aug 1 2014

If you're a fleet manager who's been waiting anxiously for the chance to buy a plug-in hybrid van from Via Motors, your wait is almost over. If you work for the right fleet, anyway. David West, the chief marketing efficer for VIA Motors, took AutoblogGreen for a ride around the San Jose Convention Center in a Via van sporting an Electric Blue paint job as part of the Plug In 2014 Conference this week and gave us an update on how things are coming along. The big news is that the Via PHEV van production is going to start by the end of September. Via can currently build two vans an hour at its production plant in Mexico, or about 16 a day and could easily double that. "That would get us to 20,000 a year with two full lines running," West said. "We have the capacity." "There is no way gas can compete with electric." – David West, Via Motors But they can't sell that many quite yet. By the end of December, around 350 Vans will be made, mostly for a $20-million program from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District that will see the vehicles used by fleets that will report energy data to the Idaho National Lab. Via is also finishing up CARB certification for both the van and the company's plug-in hybrid pick-up truck. About 50 percent of Via's technology in the truck will not need to be tested again, since it's the same as what's in the van, but things like crash tests will need to be done twice. Despite the progress, this is not where Via hoped it would be today. The bankruptcy of battery supplier A123, "took about a year off our timeline," West said. "It's been getting a little slow getting it to market, there have been some challenges, particuarly since we had the country's worst recession right in the middle of this wrap up, but it's inevitable in my mind. There is no way gas can compete with electric." Maybe that's why FedEx has expressed an interest in buying around 5,000 units, West said. FedEx already has some pilot vehicles, just like Verizon does, and PG&E wants to replace all of their gas trucks with electric vehicles, which would be another 3,000 sales, he said. Besides the fuel savings, vehicles like these, with easy on-site power generation, could also work wonders in post-disaster situations, he said, since they could replace the need for generators.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
