 I am selling my 2000 GMC K2500 Sierra SLT pickup.  I have owned this pickup for the past 6 years (80,000 miles).  It has been a great truck but needs to be moved on to make room for another one.  I have used it mostly for over the road towing.  The 7.4 liter, 454 runs strong and doesn't use any oil to speak of.  It has been maintained mostly by a local shop and I have all receipts.  I have tried to keep the oil changed every 3500-4000 miles. 
 
I have done a number of performance modifications. It has a K&N air filter and a larger 3" muffler and exhaust that is in good shape.  I also had the computer programmed to get a few more horses and also made the transmission shift a little firmer (not much but a little to help the torque converter). 

It has Michelin LTX/MS 2 tires with about half tread left and all in good shape (no broken belts, balanced and true)  It had the aftermarket rims and they still look fair.  If you get up close you can see some of the clear coat coming off, etc.  

It has minor rust spots around (see pictures) but is in very good shape for the year.  I installed the running boards when I got it and they have a few rust spots but should go a while yet.  A few places the paint has chipped off.  GM had some issues with this and this truck is no exception. 

It has a cap on the back and bedrug in the bed.  I used it to haul furniture so it is clean and nice.  The leather seats are in good shape for the year.  The drivers seat has rips starting but I have held them at bay with an epoxy glue that I have put on it to keep it from tearing all the way.  All power windows all work well.  The power door locks have never worked very well.  The drivers door lock works but the rest of the doors dont always lock with the key fob or the power lock button.  I have learned to just lock it manually.  It has 3 power plugs for lots of hookups.  I have a scan guage (see pic) installed that I will let go with the truck.  I used it to monitor transmission fluid temperature and speed (it is more accurate than the regular speedo).  All gauges work.  The radio works well.  The A/C blows cold.  The cruise works great.  I installed electric fans to replace the original power robbing manual clutch one.  It also has a larger (I think 200 amp) alternator for more electrical power for the electric fans, trailer brakes, etc.  I recently installed new headlights to replace the originals that were getting cloudy. 

I installed a larger transmission cooler on it (because of the towing, see pic taken through grill) soon after I got it.  This has helped keep the fluid temperature down when towing.  The 4L80E transmission is known to be bulletproof.  I just got the Trans oil changed (2nd time since I owned it).  It has a heavy hitch (Class V). 

It comes with 4 floor mats that are in good shape.

Please feel free to call or email with questions.  My number is 540-560-3290.

 I forgot to mention, it also has an aftermarket remote start that works great.

2015 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL hit the floor at LA

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

The middle child of General Motors' trio of truck-based SUVs, the GMC Yukon and long-wheelbase Yukon XL, received their auto show debut at today's 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Showing off a bigger, bolder look, particularly on its Denali trim, the Yukon sports prominent chrome grille instantly identifies GMC's new top-end SUV.
The Yukon is will come to market with a pair of engines. The base 5.3-liter V8 pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, while the higher-end models benefit from the same direct-injected, 6.2-liter V8 as the Escalade. That engine makes 420 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, with fuel economy seeing a likely boost thanks to an active fuel management system. Like the Tahoe, Suburban and Escalade, the Yukon takes advantage of a six-speed, column-mounted automatic transmission.
The cabin has seen significant upgrades in terms of materials and technology, with an eight-inch touchscreen display and IntelliLink standard in both Yukon and Yukon Denali. Fold-flat second and third-row seats come standard, while a power option is available, as well. Other techy features include active noise cancellation and standard Bose stereos.

'Killing a Duramax' Gale Banks YouTube series methodically tunes a diesel to death

Thu, Feb 27 2020

Learning or perfecting a skill by watching YouTube videos is known as attending YouTube University. GM Authority picked up on one of the video site's more fascinating courses, hosted by Gale Banks; in a fair world, he should be referred to as Professor Banks when it comes to diesel engines and truck tuning. A few months after GM introduced the updated L5P 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 in the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD that ships with 454 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque, Banks decided he wanted to methodically tune the engine to death. The purpose of the resulting series, called "Killing a Duramax," is to push more power out of the engine in order to discover which parts break and when — or, as Banks puts it, force-feed the Duramax "until the crank hits the street and the heads hit the hood." With that knowledge, Banks can figure out all the weak points on his way to building what he calls a "Superturbo," that being a supercharged, twin-turbo race engine with more than 1,000 hp. What makes the series fascinating is Banks' knowledge, paired with the company's comprehensive iDash engine monitoring system that keeps tabs on a glut of parameters every step of the way. So for instance, you get Banks explaining the differences between inches of mercury and barometric pressure, how those are different from the water content of the air measured in grains, then showing those readouts on the iDash, then explaining in detail how they affect the air density in the Duramax system. The stock Borg-Warner variable turbo gets a lot of airtime — Banks accuses it of being "out to lunch" because he feels it's the weakest link on the engine. That turns into a turbo teardown and a deep explanation of performance pitfalls, such as when air pressure on the turbine begins to diverge from the boost pressure coming from the compressor. Banks says he can keep close tabs on where power's coming from, because the iDash monitors the horsepower contribution provided by the ambient air, the turbo, and the intercooler separately. The major changes so far are a stouter Precision 7675 turbo and TurboSmart wastegate (episode 5), a twin intake (episode 6), a custom liquid-cooled intercooler from a marine engine, a new GM oil cooler and synthetic oil (episode 10), and new injectors (episode 11).

GMC Hummer EV hits Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog for twice the price

Fri, Oct 29 2021

This winter season, Nieman Marcus is getting into the true meaning of Christmas by offering a bunch of seriously expensive stuff in its annual holiday catalog. There's usually at least one automotive offering, and this year it's a 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 for an eye-watering $285,000. That's $172,405 more than the regular Edition 1 crab-walker, which is priced by GMC at $112,595. And what does one get for more than 2.5 times the cost of the most expensive electric Hummer? Well, hold your 1,000 horses, because this isn't just any Hummer EV Edition 1. No, it's a one-off Barrett-Jackson Hummer EV Edition 1. The interior of this Barrett-Jackson edition Hummer has been "curated" by Craig Jackson himself. And by curated, they mean it has a bunch of red trim everywhere and is garnished with a Neiman Marcus logo. Aside from that, there is nothing appreciably different about it. No performance upgrades, no special paint job. You do get an electric charging station at home, though, which might be the most useful addition to this whole enterprise. If that's not worth the price of an entire 1.5 extra Hummers to you, there's more. You get two VIP passes for the opening gala of the Barrett-Jackson auctions in exotic Scottsdale, Ariz. During the auction, you'll get access for two to Carolyn and Craig Jackson's personal skybox from where you can watch 1,500 cars trade hands. But don't get too comfy, because at some point you'll be invited on stage to receive your Hummer EV in front of a gaggle of inebriated fishing boat dealership owners. Oh, and you'll also get to bang the little auction hammer. You can pair the Hummer with other gifts in Nieman Marcus' "fantasy" catalog, like a $6.1 million dollar diamond ring. However, if you go with the $395,000 Great Gatsby-style roaring '20s party, make sure it doesn't end with the 9,000-pound Hummer Daisy Buchanan-ing any bystanders.
