This well used 1995 2500 Diesel Suburban starts and runs well.  It handles like a dream in deep snow is and incredibly comfortable on long trips.  I bought this in 2008 with about 237,000 miles and have driven it in a limited capacity, but regularly, since.  While the body is in poor condition, the mechanicals on this vehicle are solid.  I would not hesitate to drive this SUV any distance.  For the last five years, we have used it exclusively for trips longer than 100 miles and recreational travel (biking/kayaking) as our other car is small and electric.  Tires are in very good condition - spare is included.

Air conditioning/heat works perfectly.  Two zone system allow passengers in the back to control their own AC/heat.  4WD works perfectly.  As soon as I took ownership of the Suburban I took care of two big ticket fixes:  Transmission was rebuilt by professional local shop (Automatic Transmission Design, Inc.).  Injector Pump replaced with professionally rebuilt IP and installed by local garage specializing in diesel repair (Richfield Auto).  If bought locally, the starter and alternator have have replaced by lifetime warranted pieces.  Most recently, ABS sensors replaced on front brakes and brake system inspection completed.  The brakes have plenty of life left on them.  I also had a replacement exhaust custom fabricated for this SUV as it was tough to find a replacement system.  They took the exhaust back from after the headers all the way to the tailpipe.  

I detailed some of the cosmetic defects above, but I will try to list as many as I can remember here:
  • Patches of surface rust
  • Patches of body rust near front doors
  • Front passenger door will not open from the inside (broken latch - not uncommon with late 1990's Chevy SUV's)
  • Rear passenger door will not lock and window will not roll down (removed faulty motor for window and replaced with 1X4 to hold window in place)
  • Front passenger bumper bent upward (no subsequent damage to any mechanicals i.e. oil lines, radiator)
  • Rear driver bumper dented and bent slightly upward
  • Driver running board missing a bolt
  • Windshield cracked
  • Some vegetable oil stains on rear passenger floor
Mechanical issues I am aware of:
  • Smoking on startup
  • Slight oil leak
  • Some 'blowby' through the oil dipstick
  • Cruise control inoperable
  • Air bag light on
  • Missing one lug nut on rear passenger tire (should get myself to NAPA to get this - old one was rounded off a little)
Now for the fun!  I converted this vehicle to WVO using a professionally designed Greasecar System.  This system involved a second 40 gallon tank specifically for WVO, and a two fuel system under the hood.  Basically, you can run on diesel, then when the vehicle has heated to a certain temperature, you switch it over to free waste vegetable oil.  Before you finish your trip you switch back to diesel and you are good to go.  We have saved $1000's of dollars on diesel fuel using this system, but the hobby is at an end for us.  As such, we are also including a WVO starter kit - everything you will need to filter and run WVO in this system.  (Even a little oil if you want it.)  You will need a trailer to get this starter kit to your home.  The tank on the truck currently is about 1/2 full with clean WVO.  I run the system periodically to keep it working properly.  

With this WVO starter kit I am offering 
  • Filtering - storage barrel.  This barrel has two valves in the bottom portion of the barrel.  One to pump out sediment, the other to pump clear free fuel into your Greasecar
  • Barrel heater.  You use the barrel heater to heat the oil in the barrel and allow the sediment to settle to the bottom upon cooling
  • 1/2 hp pump.  Used to pump oil from the barrel to the filter canister
  • Filter canister and filters.  Pressurized canister containing a filter that runs to a gas pump style hose.  This ensures the oil going in your tank is free of any sediment.
  • Two food grade 35 gallon barrels.  For oil storage.
  • One 55 gallon barrel.  More oil storage.
  • A few cubes with some unfiltered WVO in them 
Note:  You do not need to run WVO in this vehicle.  You could leave the system in place and run only on diesel if you wish with no harm to the truck.  You could also remove the system fairly simply (if you have a rudimentary understanding of diesel engines).  It would take me about one hour to restore (not offering to do it, just giving an idea of the complexity).  You could also continue running this truck on WVO if you wish.  It is a relatively hassle free way to drive for free.

As with any 20 year old vehicle, this is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS.  You must arrange for shipping/pickup and no warranty is offered or implied.  I have attempted to describe this vehicle as completely as I can, but if there are issues with the vehicle not covered in the above description, I am not liable for them.  This is a No Reserve auction.  If you bid on this, you may win it.  Please be prepared to pay for this and arrange shipping or pick up.  I am unable to deliver this vehicle for you.  If you want WVO system, you will need some type of trailer as equipment will not all fit in the Suburban.

After your winning bid:
I would like $500 within 48 hours of close.  Paypal only please.  The balance upon pickup/delivery when I will provide you with the clear title.  Balance must be in cash, cashier's check verified during banking hours, Paypal or escrow.com.  If shipping, I will not allow pickup until I have verified funds.

Any questions at all, please contact me through Ebay and I will respond asap.

Thank you,
Eric

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
