1996 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 4wd Diesel on 2040-cars
Wartrace, Tennessee, United States
|
Bought this a while back, with the intention of slowly rebuilding it, and having a fantastic farm truck for the rest of my life. Fits my family of seven nicely (third row seat), as we just took it to Florida on beach trip. No time anymore and I already have more than I intended to invest. The cosmetic wear and tear is typical, and really not bad for the car. The 6.5L diesel engine starts and pulls strong, and even last winter - it cranked right up without having to plug it in. The transmission pulls strong and shifts very smooth (these were very good transmissions). The 4WD works great. Oils have been changed, and the transmission was flushed and changed every ~30,000 miles. Test drive and inspection will prove this out.
The things I have done/ new components installed.: New PMD (fuel pump driver) and new fuel pump. I properly relocated the PMD per spec. The one thing that was a real issue was GM put the PMD on the engine, and it overheated it often to an early death. GM provided a kit to move it, and I bought a new one and relocated it per spec. New Michelin Tires (only 1000 miles on them). New Starter. Two New Batteries. New Brake Job all around. New Fuel pump. New Fan and alternator belt. New water pump/hoses. New Fuel Pump. Both front wheel bearing replaced, repacked. I think the alternator had been replaced prior, as it looked very new when I got it (and it kicks out a 14.2v) but don't know for sure. New A/C compressor, condensor, and evaporator core. Issues: The A/C has bloody driven me nuts. I have put about $1,100 into new parts and yet, it blows very cold up front but not in the rear (oh, it is missing the rear controls knobs, for passengers to set to their liking). Ebay has them for a 20-40 bucks, just never got around to it. Also, by the end of 2-3 months, it needs a recharge. I finally sucked it up and took it in to see a specialist. He said there was a check valve or ? wherein the coolant must pass. He thinks it is clogged, and the rear condenser may need to be replaced. Cost to fix this, ~ $300 - $600. I think, but I do not know, that this is where the small leak is. If You don't have passengers, no worries - but You still have to charge it up. Me? I want it right and I wish I had started there before i dumped so much money into it. These are great machines. If i have left out anything that is important, please just ask. Thanks for looking. |

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
