1994 Gmc Suburban Diesel 4x4 on 2040-cars
Cisne, Illinois, United States
|
This is a heavy duty 3/4 ton, 8600# GVW suburban. I am the third owner. I have put 118,000 miles on it. The injection pump was completely overhauled at around 230,000 miles, and had new injectors installed this spring. I have also installed a Heath Diesel PMD isolator kit, and Heath Diesel waste gate actuator. The engine has normal oil leakage around oil pan gasket, and uses around a quart every 5000 miles. The radiator was redone this summer as it had a crack in the inlet tank. the cooling system has no leaks, but tends to show a low coolant light sometimes on the dash, but never gets hot. If you try to add more antifreeze thinking it is low it then becomes to full and just blows out the excess. The check engine light will also come on if it is driven more than 75 mph for an extended distance. The reason it does this, is because of the installation of the mechanical waste gate actuator, and I never have installed a Heath Diesel programmer to go with it. The belts and hoses are in good shape, and has had a new fuel filter installed this spring when injectors were replaced. It also has new engine oil cooler lines that were installed this spring as well. Brand new alternator in the last 5000 miles. Also has a K&N air filter. The transmission shifts and works as it should with no hesitations. It had been rebuilt by the previous owner not long before I purchased the vehicle, it is a 4L80E heavy duty. The 4x4 works excellent. I have changed the actuator to the newer style that kicks in much faster than the original. The axle ratio is 4.10. Air conditioning works very well, the whole system was flushed, and new compressor, dryer, orifice tube and rear expansion valve was installed in September of 2013. It has front and rear air with no rear heat. As for the cosmetics of the vehicle, it looks about average for a vehicle with this age and mileage. It has the normal door dings, scratches, and rock chips. The worst place is on the hood where the clear coat is peeling off and a long scratch on the passenger side. The interior has normal wear and a stains. It does have a small hole in the driver seat, and the rest of the seats are just fine. There is a place about the size of your hand in the carpet in the rear cargo area where the previous owner had turned over a battery and leaked some acid, then got it on his hand and touched the upholstery on the side panel. It looked like this when I bought it and hasn't gotten any worse. The gages all work except for the trip meter. It has an aftermarket CD/MP3 am/fm JVC stereo. It has 235/85/R16 Firestone Transforce A/T load range E tires mounted on American Racing aluminum rims. The tires are at around 30% tread. The fuel tank is 42 gallon. My wife used this as her run around vehicle/grocery getter and usually got around 15 MPG on average. Still being driven, so mileage could be increased by time of sale. We occasionally used this vehicle to pull our 6000# camper and it handles it like a champ. Fuel mileage does decrease down to around 12 mpg when trailering. The reason for getting rid of this vehicle is we upgraded to a 2005 GM diesel 4 door pickup last year and dont really need this one anymore. I am listing this vehicle locally so reserve the right to end the auction at any time. We are located in southern Illinois. Please fell free to call me about any questions at 618-231-2589 or 618-854-2650.

370,000 new Silverado and Sierra pickups recalled over fire risk
Fri, 10 Jan 2014General Motors announced late Friday that it will recall around 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra fullsize pickups from the 2014 model year over a possible fire risk. The recall covers select 4.3-liter V6 and 5.3-liter V8 models, which can evidently suffer engine compartment fires due to the overheating of exhaust components. GM notes that the fire issue may be preceded by a check engine light and an "engine power reduced" message on the driver information display.
Thus far, GM is aware of eight fires stemming from this problem (although only three of those incidents affected customer-owned vehicles), and all of the fires were reported in areas with "very cold weather." GM is urging owners to not leave their vehicles unintended while idling. No injuries have resulted from the fires in question.
The Detroit-based automaker has pledged to start mailing out recall letters on January 16. The fix, which involves software reprogramming, is estimated to be a 20-minute repair, and will be made free of charge.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
