2003 Gmc Sierra Sle Z71 Pickup on 2040-cars
Eden, New York, United States
|
Hello Folks,
I am selling my 2003 GM Pickup. I am the second owner of this truck and have owned it for most of its life. I am selling my truck to finance a move to Wyoming, which I will be taking my gas saver to lower my living costs while I am there. I always take a lot of care with, and for my vehicles because I am very passionate about cars. The listing is correct for this truck's transmissin type even though the 5.3 liter was never offered with a mnaul transmission behind it from GM. This one is a 5 speed, with a manual shift transfer case. The original automatic from this truck worked fine, but working on vehicles is a passion of mine, and I enjoy to make them unique and well constructed. I decided to figure out a manual transmission swap for this truck and make it compatible with the 5.3 liter motor. I did my research and completed the conversion in the summer of 2011 and the truck has been running great since, with no issues. I did the swap at 88000 miles and the truck now has almost 147000 miles, so there are 59000 on the transmission and transfer case since I did the conversion. At the time of the conversion, before swapping the transmission and t-case into the truck, I rebuilt them to factory specifications. Aside from this, I have always kept up with oil changes and regular maintenance. I always use full synthetic Amsoil in the motor, and royal purple products for the differentials. The oil was changed last at 143000 miles, so the truck will be due again soon. The differential oil was changed in the front & rear, at the same time I completed the installation of the new transmission and Transfer case. I grease all steering components and anything with a zirk fitting (slip shaft, u-joints, etc...) monthly, and have been in the habit of brushing off any scale rust I find on the frame. At 140000 miles, I replaced all of my valve guide seals, and was pleasantly surprised with how clean the valve train looks. I was impressed so I took a picture and have included it for you to see too. At 120000 miles I had to replace my power steering box which I did with a re manufactured unit. At some point around 80000 miles I replaced the front differential seals and found a bad cv joint/hub during dis-assembly for it, which I replaced with a new Moog unit. **(An interesting note about the seals is to make sure you always keep the vent tube clear. If it clogs, this will cause pressure to build and wear out the seals, as was the case for my truck. I rerouted this tube, to make it more accessible, and now I am in the habit of checking it when I check the oil and belts, and have had no issues since)**. I recently put on new shocks all around-- nothing too fancy; just some dependable gas charged ones by Monroe that I have had good success with on other vehicles, and make for a nice smooth ride. Lastly, this truck has four wheel disc brakes, and I replaced the rear rotors, caliper guide pins and boots this past month. A few negative things I want to point out on the truck; -The throw out bearing can be heard when the truck is running and sitting still. The noise does not affect the drive-ability of the vehicle, and is not audible while driving, which is why I have not replaced it. I have thought a lot about this and I do know that there is a spring that keeps the throw out in contact with the pressure plate and sometimes when old will allow for movement of the throw out away from the fingers. I am suspect of this, but have not felt it necessary to go through the work of removing the slave cylinder to troubleshoot, since I have yet to notice an effect on driving or an increase in noise level. There is a possibility that it could be in the early stages of failure, or have contaminant build up inside it and need cleaning. The part is cheap but the job can take a descent amount of time to complete. If this is the case, I do not want you to be unaware of the possibility prior to purchasing and feel you have been deceived. That is not my intention, I want to sell my truck to another person like me, who is passionate about their vehicles, and will get the same joy out of owning this truck as I have had. - The truck does not have the front portion of the emergency brake cable currently installed. I have the part, but have not installed it, honestly due to my infrequent use of the system. - Most of the time I leave truck in gear when parked, and as a result I do not regularly recall that I need to install it. -The truck has the abs and service brake light on the dash. This is on currently due to a sensor wire that has worn through on the front right tire. I have the replacement sensor for the truck, and will either provide it with the truck to the new owner, or, if you'd like, I can install it for you before you come to pick it up. I have tried my best to describe my truck to you, short of coming to see it. - (Which you are absolutely welcome to do if you live in the Western New York area.) If there is anything else you would like to know about the truck, please do not hesitate to ask! My name is Frank, and you can either reach me through Ebay, or if you'd like, by phone, with either a text message or, preferably, a phone call. I have more pictures available and would be happy to talk about it with you.My number is 716 868 8501. **I don't know how to ship a vehicle cost effectively, so you will have to be able to come get the truck or arrange for the shipping of it. I'll be happy to work with you on that though for instance, if it needs to be picked up, or if you want to put it on the road to drive it home. Best Regards & Thanks! -Frank |

REWIND: Watch the GMC Hummer EV live reveal right here
Tue, Oct 20 2020It has been a long wait to see the GMC Hummer electric pickup truck, which was teased way back at the Super Bowl in February of this year. And that wait ends tonight at 8 p.m. eastern time when GM pulls the covers off the truck. You can see the whole reveal right here, or during the World Series on Fox or "The Voice" on NBC. For everything we know about the truck, go to our reveal post here. The truck should be impressive. GMC has previously announced it will have up to 1,000 horsepower, and it will have a variety of fun features such as removable roof panels and four-wheel steering that can move the truck sort of sideways with "Crab Mode." The GMC Hummer will also be available in pickup and SUV forms. So be sure to tune in tonight for one of the biggest (figuratively and literally) vehicle reveals of the year. And keep an eye on Autoblog for all the latest on the Hummer and other vehicles.
2019 GMC Sierra AT4 First Drive Review | Off-road overkill
Wed, Jan 23 2019The road ahead is dirt with a rut here and a rock there. Brush keeps a respectable distance on the right side, the edge on the left gradually falls away into the valley below. The grade is nothing your treadmill couldn't duplicate and traction is pretty good. Honestly, a couple in their Subaru Crosstrek could pop up here for a picnic. The 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 we're driving is therefore complete overkill. But at least it looks the part as it trudges up this uncharacteristically verdant mountain with San Diego in the distance to the north and Mexico to the south. Its special, dechromed AT4 grille has a purposeful appearance, but tastefully lacks the show-off machismo of Ford and Ram's off-roading models. The red tow hooks are a nice touch and the dark-accented 20-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain rubber are just the right size beneath a suspension that is raised an extra 2 inches from every other Sierra. That would be one of the key elements that differentiates the AT4 as the Sierra's off-roading model – GMC's answer to the Chevy Silverado's Trail Boss trims. In fact, their mechanical enhancements are identical. Besides the 2-inch lift, the suspension features off-road-tuned Rancho monotube shocks. There's also a locking rear differential, a two-speed transfer case, skid plates and those tow hooks. The 5.3-liter V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management is similarly standard, but unlike the Silverado Trail Boss, the Sierra AT4 offers the 6.2-liter V8 good for 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque as a roughly $2,500 option. That's the engine we have and it delivers the expected punch, complete with a satisfyingly snarling exhaust note. However, as observed in back-to-back drives with these two available engines during the Silverado launch, the 6.2 certainly isn't necessary. The 5.3-liter is seriously capable and the bigger engine is largely for those who want to have the biggest number possible emblazoned on the fender. It's overkill, which in this particular environment, is fitting. Besides the available engine upgrade, the AT4 also goes beyond its Trail Boss counterpart by dipping into the Sierra Denali's tool box. Its MultiPro tailgate is standard equipment, allowing for six different configurations, the most notable of which include a means of more easily reaching into the bed and a drop-down step that eases entry into the bed. GMC's considerable touting of that last element is rife with hypocrisy given GM advertisements that mocked Ford's similar feature.
2021 GMC Yukon starts at $51,955, just $100 more than outgoing model
Fri, Mar 13 2020The 2021 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL have prices, and they're bargains considering the upgrades the new model delivers. The base Yukon SLE starts at $51,995 after the $1,295 destination charge, a $100 premium over the current model. The extended wheelbase Yukon XL in base SLE trim starts at $54,695, the same price as the outgoing model. The price for all-wheel drive stands pat for trims that make it an option, at $3,000. Prices for the two-wheel drive Yukon and Yukon XL trim steps are below, with price differences compared to the 2020 models. Keep mind that the new AT4 trim comes standard with AWD, so the AT4 is in a sense closer in price to the SLT and further from the Denali than it appears here: Yukon SLE: $51,995 (+ $100) Yukon SLT: $59,095 (- $810) Yukon AT4: $66,095 Yukon Denali: $69,695 (+ $800) Yukon XL SLE: $54,695 (No change) Yukon XL SLT: $61,795 (No change) Yukon XL AT4: $68,795 Yukon XL Denali: $72,395 (+ $600) The drop in price on the Yukon SLT is in comparison to the 2020 Yukon SLT Standard Edition trim, not the lower-spec SLT trim. The new Yukon comes in at $1,700 more than the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, the same price difference in effect between the Yukon XL and Suburban. The standard Yukon is powered by a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the same specs as found in both the Tahoe and Suburban. The Yukon Denali trims, as with the High Country trims on the Chevy twins, outdo the 5.3-liter with a 6.2-liter V8 making 420 hp and 460 lb-ft. Both engines shift through a 10-speed automatic. Stuffing a Yukon XL Denali with options can take the MSRP beyond $80,000, thanks to available features like the panoramic sunroof, rear seat entertainment, air suspension, and Magnetic Ride Control Suspension.  We're still awaiting pricing for the coming 3.0-liter Duramax inline-six with 460 pound-feet of torque, which we expect closer to the on-sale date for the new full-sized SUVs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
