1995 Chevrolet K3500 for sale:

I bought this truck about 3 years ago and it sat for about a year before I got to it. It wasn't in great shape then but I needed something to pull a 5th wheel and it was affordable or so I thought.

Two years ago I put in a new long block engine, all new hoses, injection pump, lines, injectors, glow plugs, upgrade 130 GPM water pump and the upgrade duramax dual t-stat and assembly and fan, new alternator, new vac pump, sensors, turbo and so much more. In the last 8 months I have replaced the brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, lines and hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hubs, front axles, all ball joints, upper control arms, all tie rod ends, stabilizer strut, shocks, 4x4 shaft, and had the rear end gone through with yolk replaced. A few months ago I put on a different bed that I found in Georgia which was in mint condition and I had it painted by a paint shop. I had custom made battery cables as well as glow plug harness at time I put engine in. I have replaced the locks, dampers in the heat/cool system, all the actuators, the heating/cooling control center. I replaced all u-joints in the past 3 months and they replaced the rear bearings and seals also when they did the rear end. I had the transmission checked out and had them do a filter and flush at GM garage about a year ago. I also put on a 4" exhaust and a K&N air intake about a year ago. Front fenders I put on last year. Not the truck color as I was going to change the color when I restored the rest of it but didn't like that color when it was on. Has a blue ray starter on it and life time alt. paperwork in in glove box for warranties. Changed tires and wheels 4 months ago so in great shape. Truck comes with tool box and 5th wheel hitch as shown. RV does not come with it. Also has a new radiator 6 months ago.

I have replaced about everything on this truck that can be changed out except the tranny, power steering, air conditioner, and front dif. and I spared no expense doing it either. I was going to complete the restoration this winter when I was on layoff however I bought a new 5th wheel three months ago and pulled it from Florida to North Carolina and it didn't pull it very well. Really cut down speed on hills so I parked it in the RV park we often stay at for long terms and went back to hotels for the past few months. I left Penn last week to head back to NC and between Richmond VA and Raleigh it shut down like I turned the key off. I pulled over and started right back up, went another 80 miles and it did it again. First time in two years I got an SES light. Well, made it to Raleigh although it was dying about every 10 to 15 miles. It would start right back up so I changed the PMD when I got home, and then tested it and was the same. I pulled the SES Codes and told me it was either the CPS (crankshaft position sensor) or the IP (Injection Pump). I don't know what one it is, could be one or the other or both? I just don't know and since it wont pull my new RV, I am just going to sell it. I just don't have time to mess with it since it wont pull my RV and I have to buy a bigger truck so my plans to wrap it up this winter has ended. Now this pulled my 30' unit just fine for two years but my new unit is 38' and much heavier so, its just not big enough for that 5th wheel.

I have done by very best to describe this truck. I have babied it, gave it a ton of love, but its time we part! This truck starts immediately, have had no issues, I did put a block heater in it (the good one) for the block but have never used it. Has never fell below 30 degrees where I have been in the winter so never used it. I also put in new LED tail lights, new grill with smoke lights in it about a year ago. I put over 15 grand in this truck in past two years and have it listed locally at the rv park where I am parked so basically the first 5 grand takes it. I wont take less then 5 grand for it or I will part it out. The current engine in it has just over 70,000 miles on it and the long block alone was 5500.00 bare.

Please ask questions before bidding. I give no warranties or promises with this truck but that the above it complete and true. I had the oil cooler lines replaced a little while back along with the oil cooler and I did see a small drip recently so he may have nicked the oil line connector when he installed the new ones. Not sure as didn't climb under and just had an oil change so may have been from that. I have used the 4 x4 twice just to check to see if worked and it does. I don't have any reason to use the 4x4 or haven't anyway. Truck is located in Moncure NC which is just outside of Raleigh. I am traveling but will come back for a serious buyer. I have it hooked up to my RV right now in case park owner needs to move it. The AC works well and I put a new gas tank in it also and lines about 10 months ago too. I am sure there is something I have missed that I added to this truck as I have done so much to it. I love the truck except I just cant see putting more time and cash in it to have sitting around when it wont work for me.

Please done hesitate to ask any questions. If you don't mind to do some work here or there this would be a great truck. The interior is original and not perfect either but not too bad, just average for an old truck. Heck, cant be to much else to replace in the future as I replaced about all of it already. I have clear title ready to go. I will have to remove tags at time of sale as NC requires them to be returned.

Just the right Camaro can change your life

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt

Sat, Sep 12 2015

The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.
