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 profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
