Original 1 ton GMC Sierra pickup truck.  I have owned this truck for 20 years.  I bought the truck in 1994 off of a dealer in Fox Lake Illinois. The truck had around 80,000 miles on it when I bought it.  I mainly drove this truck when I was in High School.  At the time I was not looking for a truck with a lift, but it was already on it when I bought it.  The truck has a 4 inch lift so it is not excessive and looks good.  I have always kept this truck shedded since I have owned it.  It currently sits in the pole barn covered up.  The mice have not been in it.  I start it up about once every three months to keep mechanical parts working, motor lubed ect.  I am selling the truck because I need to reduce my fleet of vehicles.  I also do not want to keep paying insurance on it since I do not drive it.            

I have spent a lot of money on this truck over the years, way more than what it is worth to keep it original.  I have replaced the radiator.  Right after I bought it from the dealer it had a small leak so I changed the whole radiator.  The doors, bed sides, tail gait are new.  The lights on the tailgate are original with the 1 ton package at the time.  It has been painted back to original midnight Black, factory color.  The body man put extra clear coat on for extreme protection .  Several years back the dash started cracking so I replaced it with a new one.  The headliner has been replaced and is still good shape, this was a common problems with these older trucks.  The seat is in good shape, I always had a seat cover on it to keep it nice.  I fixed the steering column because it got loose along with the ignition switch.  It has tilt wheel.  The windshield wiper control lever is new.  All the gauges work.  The transfer case was rebuilt by a local 4x4 shop.  When they rebuilt this they went ahead and put in a new clutch, throw out bearing, new u joints, seals, ect .  The brakes are like new.  The tires have less than 5000 miles on them, so they are in good shape.  It has a 4 speed transmission with 4:10 gear ratio Dana 70 rear end. The power windows work.   

The engine runs good, no major leaks.  The engine has been completely rebuilt over the years.  The block was shipped off to St. Louis to be fixed back in 1995.  I had the heads magnafluxed, welded and resurfaced by Mac Weld in Carbondale IL.  It has hydraulic lifters on the heads.  Everything was always put back original down to the wiring, no half jobs.  I put new head bolts on the heads when they were installed back.  The glow plugs work good, they have been changed over the years.  When I had the body work done, I changed one fuel tank out, so one is newer than the other.  No leaks on the tanks.  The motor has its usual blow by.  The motor is around 370 Cubic inch displacement detroit engine, not the converted 5.9.  The batteries are in good shape.  It has two batteries purchased september 2011.

I never smoked in this truck.  I never mudded this truck. I did my best to keep the truck original. Some extras I added to it over the years was a bug shield, full set of running boards, visor and bed caps.  Sliding window was factory original.  I like the looks of the old GM trucks and really would miss the truck. Any other questions you can call me at 618-771-2363.

GM recall woes continue with 662,000 pickups trucks and Cruze sedans

Sat, 29 Mar 2014

General Motors can't seem to get its name out of the "bad news" column. Two more recalls were announced late Friday evening that will see The General calling in 490,200 fullsize pickup trucks and SUVs, along with 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze models.
For those keeping track, General Motors has issued recalls for an alarming 4.8 million vehicles so far since last month.
The Chevy Silverado 1500, Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Sierra 1500 and Yukon models from the 2014 and 2015 model years are being recalled for a flaw in their transmissions wherein loose oil cooler lines may cause a fire. The automaker said in a statement (see below) that it knows of three incidents of loose transmission lines causing problems, but no injuries. We can't confirm whether it was this transmission issue that caused the widely publicized blaze that consumed a 2015 GMC Yukon that was being test driven in California.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.

2015 Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon airbag problem causes recall

Tue, 14 Oct 2014



The recall affects 2,432 vehicles, though only 138 had actually reached consumers.
General Motors quickly fixed an airbag-wiring problem with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, but is still conducting a small recall to repair the midsize trucks that are launching this fall.
