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.

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.

GM reworking mandatory OnStar plans for some 2024 models

Tue, Mar 21 2023

For the 2023 model year, GM added its OnStar and Connected Services plan as standard equipment to a large number of Buick, GMC, and Chevrolet vehicles. Folding the $1,500 retail price into the MSRPs of models like the GMC Acadia and Buick Encore plumped up prices beyond the usual year-on-year bumps. Looks like there's a reversal in play for 2024, GM Authority reporting that many of the models fitted with OnStar and Connected Services — now called OnStar Premium Â— will step down to three years of OnStar Remote Access standard.Â Â OnStar Remote Access comes with these features: Remote key fob, vehicle locate, and remote personalization through mobile and in-vehicle apps. Three additional features can be added to the plan: OnStar Guardian, in-vehicle hotspot, and Super Cruise. Owners can also upgrade to OnStar Premium if they choose.Â Higher trims like Buick's Avenir and GMC's Denali, plus the GMC Hummer and the Cadillac Escalade will retain OnStar Premium as standard equipment. That suite starts with Remote Access and adds: Automatic crash response, stolen vehicle assistance and recovery, OnStar Guardian, in-vehicle app access, unlimited streaming, three years of Super Cruise on vehicles with the hardware, and six months of SiriusXM radio. The Escalade puts a cherry on top with three years Sirius XM instead of six months. The Remote Access plan normally charges $14.99 per month. We're not sure yet if GM will subtract the cost of OnStar Premium from the MSRP and add the $540 for OnStar Remote Access, or if the trial period comes free of charge. Even if that's what happens, the change could take nearly $1,000 off the MSRP of a car like the GMC Acadia before any 2024 increases. We'll know more as the 2024MY models roll out and prices are announced. Related Video 2022 Buick Enclave Avenir revealed

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
