2006 Gmc Sierra 2500 Hd Slt Crew Cab 6.6l Duramax Diesel Sport Side 4x4 Pickup on 2040-cars

I am selling my 2006 GMC 2500 HD Crew Cab Turbo Diesel Sport Side/Step Side "Duramax SS". I purchased this truck new and have the original window sticker and all of the service records for everything that was ever done to it. It is not a factory Sport Side/Step Side "Duramax SS". I had the Sport Side/Step Side added when I damaged one side of the original Wide Side bed. Instead of having it repaired I had the Sport Side/Step Side bed installed. It may be the only GMC 2500 HD Crew Cab Sport Side/Step Side anywhere in the USA. I then added the Juice with Attitude Programmer, 20" chrome rims and tires, 5" exhaust, 3" lift kit, Rhino Liner, Top Hat Tri-Fold Bed Cover, step side running boards, fender flares, roof rack, undercoat and rust proof. These accessories add up to about $4000. I am the original owner of the truck and I originally purchase the truck to haul my three horse trailer to deliver imported horses from the New York USDA Quarantine to our Indiana Quarantine. However, I was only able to make about a half dozen trips before the economy crashed. The importing of horses slowed down so much that there was no more hauling available for me to do. Therefore, the majority of the miles on the truck are simply from my driving back and forth to work from our country home. We made several long trips delivering the Friesian horse foals that we raised on our farm to their new owners all over the midwest, all light towing. Over the course of the time that I have owned the truck I have added all of the after market items that you see listed. I have included an NADA printout with the current market value of the truck and the value of the added accessories. The current Clean Retail price with all of the accessories added is $27,150. The Clean Trade-In price is about $22,875. I am asking less than the Clean Trade-In price. I am selling the truck for $19,995. The truck has never been abused. I have only used the highest "HOT" setting on the Juice with Attitude about 4 or 5 times. I tested it for it's 0-60 mph capability after I put the new Nitto Terra Grappler tires on it and it went 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. I mainly use the Juice with Attitude for its reading of engine codes. It reads the engine codes every time you start the truck. It also allows you to clear the engine codes if they are not critical. I purchased the Juice with Attitude for the improved gas mileage. I am getting approximately 15 mpg going to work and back. I get about 19 to 20 mpg on the highway, depending upon how fast I go. If I drive the Toll Road at about 70 mph I only get about 18 mpg. If I drive the state highways at about 55 or 60 mph I can get the 20 mpg. I installed a new front drivers side bottom leather seat cover because the original leather seat cover had cracked and ripped. The new cover looks amazing. As I mentioned above I have all of the repair records and there has never been any major work required to be done to the truck at all. The truck has never had any major problems at all. Most of the service calls were simply to replace glow plugs when the Juice with Attitude indicated that they were bad. The number 5 glow plug broke when it was being removed so the new one was installed outside the engine and is attached to the exhaust shroud where it will not affect anything when it glows. The truck almost does not need any glow plugs since it takes less than 3 seconds to heat up the glow plugs and start the engine in cold weather. It almost does not even need to use the glow plugs at all when it is warm outside. The tires have always been rotated every 7500 miles and I got 65,000 on the last set of Nitto Dune Grapplers. The current tires, Nitto Terra Grapplers, only have about 5,000 miles on them and look like new. The oil, oil filter and fuel filter have always been changed when the computer showed that it was needed. It has had new tie rod ends and idler arms installed. The truck runs and drives excellently. This is the most comfortable truck I have ever ridden in and a real pleasure to drive. Except for the few minor imperfections I have mentioned above the truck is almost perfect. It is a real eye catcher. I cannot tell you how many times someone stops me on the street to tell me how "SWEET" this truck is. You will not see yourself coming and going. I see hundreds or thousands of wide side 2500 HD Crew Cabs but I have only seen one Sport Side/Step Side 2500 HD Crew Cab. I cannot even find another one on the internet. This truck is unique and rare. It is worth the little extra cost. The truck is sold as is where is. Buyer is responsible for shipping. The truck is being advertised for sale locally also so if it sells locally this listing with e-bay may be ended early. Don't let it get away. There is only one like it. |

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans
Thu, 02 Oct 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.
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).
