VEHICLE NOTES: 

 

Vehicle has its original 454 that is outfitted with a custom fit Banks exhaust system with an X pipe and cold air K&N filter intake. A catalytic converter will need to be added if you are moving the vehicle to a state that requires emissions (engine light is on currently due to emissions removal, will go out when re-installed). Rear seal on crank Shaft has a slight oil leak. This era Chevy 454 uses oil, and they always have. With that and the crank seal leak it is currently using about half a quart of oil (plus or minus) between oil changes (3500 miles) so the repair is by no means needed ASAP.


Tires are okay with about 50% (plus or minus) of their tread life left. The truck will require a final  front wheel alignment (preliminary already done) due to suspension modifications (the drop kit that was installed). Cruise control is currently not functioning (not sure why, never really cared). The A/C works and blows cold air, but has to be charged seasonally (I do it myself with a simple can of recharge from the local auto parts store, takes about five minutes.) Truck fires right up and drives very good (See Video Link Below) and gauges and instruments all work. (See List Above)

 

The driver's seat has cracking on the left side under the custom covers. The passenger seat and rear seats are very good. Windshield will need to be replaced. Overall condition of this vehicle is good+. It has a tow package (with actuator), plus an additional tow package for both fifth wheel and goose neck (bolted through the bed to the frame - 25K capacity). (Goose neck hitch is included with purchase of vehicle.) Vehicle can still tow fine even with the drop kit. I used this truck to haul horses, that's it. No heavy loads like RVs, but I am not the originally owner so I cannot say what it was used for before I bought it.


Paint overall is in good condition, but there are some flaws on the rear fenders. Duallys have a tendency to throw rocks up from the tires and hit the inner fenders. That's just the way it is with duallys of this era (no inner fender protection). The paint is not chipped or missing, but spidered.


This is a solid truck that you can drive right now without any worries. I don't care where in the country you live, you can drive this truck home as is, if you so choose. Does it have issues? Yes of course it does, it is almost twenty years old. I have listed the issues that I would like to know about if I was buying a vehicle. However, you can ask me any questions and I will answer them. I am an honest seller and have nothing to hide, but cannot pretend to know everything. If I do not disclose something it is because I am not aware of it - period. If, I do know something about this truck, then so will you. Contact me by “asking seller a question”. There is no reason you should not be completely happy with your purchase, just ask. I have taken care of this vehicle while I have been the owner and I am selling it because I bought a newer one and have no use for two duallys.


I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability, but each person's opinions can and do vary, so please ask questions. I have linked below to a video of the truck starting and running. The title is clean and clear. I'm happy to assist with shipping logistics if needed.

Junkyard Gem: 1985 Chevrolet Sprint

Thu, May 21 2020

For in the 1985 model year, General Motors began selling Chevrolet-badged Suzuki Cultus hatchbacks in California. Sales of the cheap three-cylinder econobox in the rest of North America followed soon after (with the Canadian version known as the Pontiac Firefly), and did pretty well considering the crash in gasoline prices during the middle 1980s. Starting in 1988, the facelifted Sprint became the Geo (and, later on, Chevrolet) Metro. Here's one of the very first Cultuses sold on our shores, found in a San Francisco Bay Area car graveyard. Amazingly, the primitive rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet Chevette remained available all the way through 1987, competing with the thriftier front-wheel-drive Sprint in the same showrooms. For 1988, Pontiac started selling a rebadged Daewoo LeMans, so the Sprint/Metro never lacked for intra-corporate competition. Inside, you'll find the same stuff most mid-1980s Japanese econoboxes got: tough cloth upholstery and long-wearing hard plastics. Suzuki quality in 1985 wasn't quite up to Honda or Toyota levels, but you weren't paying Honda or Toyota prices for the Sprint. MSRP on this car started at $4,949, or about $12,000 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible 1985 Chevette cost $5,340, while a new no-frills Ford Escort would set you back $5,620. Subaru, however, could have put you in a punitively unappointed base-model Leone hatchback for just 40 bucks more than the Sprint that year. I think I'd have sprung the extra for a $5,348 Toyota Tercel, a $5,195 Mazda GLC, or— best cheap-commuter deal of all that year— the $5,399 Honda Civic 1300 hatchback. I was 19 years old and driving a Competition Orange 1968 Mercury Cyclone that year, and I recall feeling pity for Chevy Sprint drivers, new-car smell or not. Still, these weren't bad cars for the price, though a Sprint with an automatic transmission was a real character-builder. Got three cylinders and uses 'em all! 48 horsepower from this hemi-headed SOHC 1-liter. The Turbo Sprint — yes, such a car existed — had a howling 70 horsepower. The hood-latch release is a rectangular button that resembles a badge. 1985 Chevy Sprint Commercial The highest-mileage, lowest-priced car you can buy. 1985 holden barina commercial The Australian-market version was the Holden Barina, and the TV ads featured the Road Runner. 1983 SUZUKI CULTUS Ad In its homeland, this car got screaming guitars and a drive through New York City for its TV commercials.

GM again delays plant that will build the Silverado EV

Tue, Jul 23 2024

  General Motors Co. will again push back the planned opening of an electric pickup truck plant in suburban Detroit and has delayed a Buick plug-in amid uncertain growth in battery-powered car sales. Mary Barra, the company’s chief executive officer, told analysts Tuesday on an earnings conference call the automaker is postponing until mid-2026 the opening of its Orion Assembly factory, which will make the Chevrolet Silverado EV. This is the second delay for the plant, which was originally slated to start production in late 2024. Shares of the automaker fell 4.1% to $47.52 as of 9:39 a.m. in New York. The stock is up about 32% so far this year. The delay is a main reason why GM wonÂ’t be able to meet its previous goal of having production in place to make 1 million EVs by the end of next year. The company said they will add production as buyers show more interest in electric vehicles. “We continue to make sure we continue to scale the business to customers and where they are at,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with reporters. GM reported on Tuesday a 60% jump in second quarter profit compared with a year ago, topping Wall StreetÂ’s expectations on strong demand for its traditional gas-powered trucks in the US market.

GM resumes production of its 3.0-liter turbodiesel straight-six

Sat, Nov 20 2021

General Motors temporarily stopped taking orders for trucks and SUVs equipped with the 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel six-cylinder engine in August 2021 due to a supplier shortage. Reports claimed the pause would last through 2021, but the engine is already back in production. Enthusiast website GM Authority learned from sources inside General Motors that the straight-six is once again coming off the assembly line at the Flint Engine Plant in Flint, Michigan. There's no official word on precisely what the problem was linked to and whether it was related to the on-going chip shortage that's wreaking havoc across the automotive industry. All we know is that the pause lasted for about two weeks. Called LM2 internally, the six is available in Chevrolet's Tahoe, Suburban, and Silverado 1500 and in GMC's version of these trucks. It's also an option in the Cadillac Escalade. It develops 277 horsepower at 3,750 rpm and a V8-like 460 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm in every application, and it allows these big behemoths to post surprising fuel economy numbers. Fitted to a rear-wheel-drive Tahoe, the Duramax returns 21 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg in a combined cycle, figures that make it more efficient than a Blazer. Demand for the diesel-powered trucks is relatively high. While the shortage undoubtedly took a toll on sales, the Duramax represented 8% of Suburban sales and 6% of Tahoe sales in May 2021. There are no other diesel-burning full-size SUVs available new so they have the market to themselves. On the truck side, Ram still makes the EcoDiesel available on some 1500 trims but Ford abandoned the segment.
