2000 Gmc K2500 Sierra Crew Cab Slt 7.4l (454) Short Bed With Cap on 2040-cars
Dayton, Virginia, United States
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.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers
Fri, 08 Jun 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.
The UAW's 'record contract' hinges on pensions, battery plants
Thu, Oct 12 2023DETROIT - After nearly four weeks of disruptive strikes and hard bargaining, the United Auto Workers and the Detroit Three automakers have edged closer to a deal that could offer record-setting wage gains for nearly 150,000 U.S. workers. General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler parent Stellantis have all agreed to raise base wages by between 20% and 23% over a four-year deal, according to union and company statements. Ford and Stellantis have agreed to reinstate cost-of-living adjustments, or COLA. The companies have offered to boost pay for temporary workers and give them a faster path to full-time, full-wage status. All three have proposed slashing the time it takes a new hire to get to the top UAW pay rate. The progress in contract talks follows the first-ever simultaneous strike by the UAW against Detroit's Big Three automakers. The union began the strike on Sept. 15 in hopes of forcing a better deal from each major automaker. But coming close to a deal is not the same thing as reaching a deal. Big obstacles remain on at least two major UAW demands: restoring the retirement security provided by pre-2007 defined benefit pension plans, and covering present and future joint- venture electric vehicle battery plants under the union's master contracts with the automakers. On retirement, none of the automakers has agreed to restore pre-2007 defined-benefit pension plans for workers hired after 2007. Doing so could force the automakers to again burden their balance sheets with multibillion-dollar liabilities. GM and the former Chrysler unloaded most of those liabilities in their 2009 bankruptcies. The union and automakers have explored an approach to providing more income security by offering annuities as an investment option in their company-sponsored 401(k) savings plans, people familiar with the discussions said. Stellantis referred to an annuity option as part of a more generous 401(k) proposal on Sept. 22. Annuities or similar instruments could give UAW retirees assurance of fixed, predictable payouts less dependent on stock market ups and downs, experts said. Recent changes in federal law have removed obstacles to including annuities as a feature of corporate 401(k) plans, said Olivia Mitchell, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School and an expert on pensions and retirement. "Retirees want a way to be assured they won't run out of money," Mitchell said.
GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits
Tue, Apr 25 2023General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion. GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday. North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million. The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.
