1997 Gmc 3500 4x4 Diesel Dump Truck, Only 75k Miles, Stick Shift on 2040-cars
Patchogue, New York, United States
|
Cheap work horse...this 1997 GMC Sierra 3500 Dump truck is gonna be a great addition to any company that needs a capable 4x4 to make money for them. ONLY 75k MILES. The 6.5l v8 diesel runs strong and smooth. The 5 speed manual transmission shifts great and the clutch grabs just as it should. Going into 4 high and 4 low there are no issues, engages and disengages just fine. It is a regular cab with the bench seat in the front. The SL package is the standard work truck set up....just the basics for this beast. It does have AC and am/fm cassette radio.
Now for the down side, but for the reasons that this truck can be pretty much stolen, it has some flaws and issues....again motor, transmission, and 4 wheel drive work great, but as you can see from the pics, there are a lot of areas with rot starting to get through. Mostly on the outside of the dump body and then one spot on the front bumper. The undercarriage has clear rust, but no rot through....again it is a 16 year old work truck. PLEASE look at the pics and ask for anymore before bidding so it is clear what you are getting....I have seen many other older dump trucks with the same issues on the dump body's, and still get many more years of use out of them. Interior wise, the bench has some tearing on it and the passenger window is off the track, minor things. The one major concern there is, and why this truck MUST be picked up and not driven, is the brakes...now I drove this truck for a few miles and it feels as if the master cylinder is shot or there may be a leak in one of the lines. I didn't see any brake fluid under the truck, but when you press the pedal its spongy at best and goes to the floor...it is NOT recommended to drive this until that issue is addressed. A non driving issue is the dump body, I don't know if its a fuse, relay, or what ever, but it does not raise. As for the tires, it will need them as well to be in top running shape. Again, this truck will be cheap enough to buy, fix all the issues, and still be a deal and a half to someone....or maybe you have a similar truck and want some parts....either way ask me anything before bidding...Thank you. I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my knowledge and ability, so please before bidding make sure you ask anything so if you do end up being the winning bidder and get the vehicle there are no surprises.

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).
GMC Canyon will debut in Detroit
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the debut of the Chevrolet Colorado at November's Los Angeles Auto Show, perhaps it was only a matter of time before we saw the small truck's GMC counterpart. That time will be January, as we've received official confirmation that the GMC Canyon will be revived at next month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The news came in the latest issue of the Detroit Auto Show's newsletter, NAIAS Connect. The article hasn't been posted online quite yet, but it details the Canyon as one of the world production debuts slated for the show.
While we've heard rumors that the Canyon would arrive in Detroit, this is our first concrete bit of evidence. As we've detailed before, we expect the Canyon to be stylistically quite different than the Colorado, though the underpinnings will be shared. The teaser image we have above is currently our only look at the new truck. We'll hopefully have more details in the next few weeks as the GMC Canyon draws closer to its official debut.
eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
