Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This is originally a Georgia truck, so body the body is great. Tranmission is burnt. It will no go in 3rd gear. Intake also leaks but it does run. The interior is not great."

This truck was originally a Georgia truck. I bought it off of Ebay about 5 years ago.  It has been a great truck. That was up until last week when the transmission burnt while my wife was driving it.  It will still go in 1st and 2nd but won't shift into 3rd. The fluid is brown so I know that is not good. At this same time it somehow developed a horrible intake gasket leak. But the engine does run. It has always ran well and hasn't used much oil. The 4x4 is the stick style and it works good.


Because of most of it's life in Georgia it wasn't exposed to salt like vehicles are during Indiana winters, the body is in rust free condition. The frame still had the factory black paint on it when it got here from Georgia and it is still in great condition. The clear coat is peeling along the bed rails, hood, and roof etc. The is a small ding in the drivers door but it barely noticeable. Tailgate is in good condition but the handle doesn't work well. To the best of my knowledge it has never been wrecked. The interior isn't great.

I was really torn about the decision to fix it or sell it. Obviously I decided to sell it.  I have decided to downsize in trucks. Going to go with a smaller crew cab truck.
If the clear coat wasn't peeling I would almost say the body was in excellent condition and that is where I see the value in this truck. You just don't find a truck of this age this rust free in Indiana.

This is going to be a short auction because I have found the truck I want to purchase and need to sell it.  I took the pictures when it was raining so that is why the pics look the way they do.  I will take more pics tomorrow and add them (if ebay lets me?). I just wanted to get this auction started.

Please ask me any questions you may have. If you want a picture of something in particular let me know and I will add it or email it to you.

Thank you and Good Luck Bidding!

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

GM issues stop-delivery for 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

General Motors is issuing a stop-delivery order for its latest midsize pickups, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, because the driver's side airbag might not be wired correctly. The total number of vehicles affected is still being determined.
According to the statement from GM, the problem, "affects the vehicles' two-stage airbag system by reversing the deployment sequence and disrupting the deployment timing of the driver airbag stages." That means in an accident the bag may not work correctly.
Most of the affected trucks are still on the assembly line, in transit or unsold at dealers, says GM. Until a way to repair the problem is found, customer deliveries are stopped. However, "a small number" of them are in the possession of buyers. GM is contacting these people by phone and by FedEx letter to have the vehicles returned to dealers. In the meantime, they'll be given a loaner to drive.

Chevy Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 get the axe

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Fans of truck-based, light-duty vans can officially pour one out for the Chevrolet Express 1500 and GMC Savana 1500, as General Motors has officially put its long-serving big/little rigs out to pasture. Things aren't quite as sad as they sound, though. The heavier-duty 2500 and 3500 vans will soldier on, in order to duke it out with the largest members of Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter families.
The move does seem to make a lot of sense. According to GM, customers only purchase the 1500-spec Chevrolet 23 percent of the time, while the GMC captures a mere 7 percent of the Savana family's sales. With numbers like that, it's no shock that GM thinks it can shift some of its buyers into its van family's more capable variants. "We knew we could move a lot of our 1500 customers into 2500-series territory," said GM's Joe Langhauser, the product manager for the company's full-size vans.
It's not just simple sales figures dictating the move, though. The 1500 line is taking up some valuable factory space that will be better spent on an eagerly anticipated new product.
