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.

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.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
