It was a one owner truck before me, owned by a man who used it to tow his camper. There are fifth wheel rails in the bed from this, but it was never used for work towing or abused. I have only used it occasionally to tow a horse trailer and used it as my daily driver. The truck is excellent condition. It has never been plowed with, and the front end is nice and tight. There is no rust on the body, nor are there any major dents, dings or scratches. (A few here and there you would find on any ten year old vehicle, but nothing major.) This truck has every option except the sunroof and DVD. It is 4x4, crew cab short bed. It's an SLT, so it has power everything, leather, Bose sound, heated seats, and automatic A/C. The truck has just under 82,000 miles, which is very low for a Duramax of this age. This will go up some as it is my daily driver. I've kept it well maintained during the time I had it, and added quite a few modifications: It has: - LBZ Turbo mouthpiece - Brand new Fox Racing Shocks on all 4 corners - Magnaflow Downpipe - 5 Inch MBRP straight pipe to a 6 inch polished tip - Edge CTS 4 inch touchscreen in a dash pod. (ONLY used for gauges. This truck has NEVER been tuned or programmed) - Prodigy brake controller - Denali Projector Headlights - AVS bug visor I've also done a few maintenance items, including flushing the power steering / hydroboost system out with Amsoil synthetic. I also have 5 gallons of Amsoil Trans-Synd and a new Allison filter to go with the truck, which is almost $300 by itself. Minor Issues: There is a little bit of surface rust on the frame here and there. No rust on the cab or bed; Please see the videos for more info. The rear passenger door reflector is missing, and there is some peeling paint underneath the headlight switch. Also, when the truck is cold, there is sometimes an odd groaning noise from the front end. I'm not sure why this happens, but it goes away once the truck is warm and doesn't always happen when it's cold. This is bar none one of the nicest LLY trucks out there, ESPECIALLY in the northeast. Please let me know if you'd like to see the truck before bidding and we can set something up. Thanks! |

GM able to add diesel to half-ton pickups if market demands it
Wed, 18 Sep 2013A few years ago, the trend in half-ton pickup trucks was ultra-luxurious trims, often with the words "limited" or "platinum" tacked on after the model name. That was well and good, but we like this latest fad a lot more - diesel engines. First, Ram came to bat with a 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel for the 1500, then Nissan announced that the next-generation Titan would be getting an eight-cylinder Cummins diesel.
Now, word is coming in from AutoGuide that General Motors can, if it so chooses, drop a diesel engine into its light-duty trucks. The plot thickens, though, as it turns out that said diesel would be the same one Ram is using for its truck. According to AG, that engine comes from VM Motori, which GM owns a sizable chunk of. Therefore, GM can snag the 3.0-liter, V6 diesel for its trucks just as easily, if not more easily, than Ram.
If it's so easy for the Detroit-based manufacturer to access the engines, why not offer the a diesel-powered Sierra and Silverado from the start, then? According to GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson, The General doesn't seem so confident in a diesel pickup outside of its HD offerings. According to Wilkinson, the cost-benefit ratio doesn't line up for customers, thanks to both the impact on the truck's sticker price and the higher price of diesel, in general (the national average for a gallon of diesel is 43 cents more than a gallon of 87-octane unleaded).
Chevy Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 get the axe
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Fans 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.
2015 GMC Yukon Denali
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Automotive enthusiasts often wonder aloud - ourselves included - why General Motors would choose to keep GMC while sending Pontiac (and Saturn, and even Oldsmobile before it) into the great automotive graveyard in the sky. The answer, as is so often the case, is profit. It's much easier for GM to rake in money hand over fist by rejiggering the trucks, crossovers and SUVs that it would already be developing for Chevrolet and making them a bit more luxurious and *ahem* "Professional Grade" with new grilles, badges and unique packaging for GMC.
While it may sound like we're being cynical, we totally approve of GM's fullsize SUV strategy. The least-expensive way to get into the fold is with the Chevrolet Tahoe, which starts at $45,595 with a 5.3-liter V8 engine and a cloth interior. Bumping that same Chevy to LTZ trim and its $59,995 sticker price lands a much nicer leather-clad interior and more techno-bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at. But it still looks like a Tahoe, and it still comes with the smaller 5.3-liter engine. Or, you could do what we'd do: Walk into your GMC dealer and take a look at the Yukon Denali. Here's why.
