THIS IS A RARE FIND! Great diesel family car with a lot of life left. The engine has been well maintained by reputable diesel mechanic. All common 6.5L issues have been addressed, leaving a beast of a car that will outlive us all. No rust issues - wheel wells are clean, around doors, etc. Of course, it's 18 years old and doesn't fit in most garages, so it's been exposed to the elements and it shows: paint is chipping in spots and should eventually be repainted to prevent rust from building up and spreading. Overall, body is straight with no dents or dings.

Upgraded with modern - oversized wheels from a late-model Chevy truck - looks much better than stock I think.

We have owned this for almost 10 years and have treated it with love - and have had it serviced regularly. No known mechanical defects that need to be addressed. I have had some major updates: new AC condenser, fuel pump and fuel filters replaced, transmission repaired, transfer case drained/cleaned and gears replaced, suspension parts replaced (control arms, steering arms, etc.). Too many others to list. Bottom line, it's running smooth without any needed mechanical fixes needed. She's ready to roll as-is. It has served us really well as our annual road trip mobile...super comfortable on the highway, with lots of room for everyone to move around. Great fuel economy for such a big car. Great hauler: when kids were smaller, we pulled a 20' trailer for our annual beach trip and it never skipped a beat - you forget the trailer is even there.

Clean interior, new leather seat cover was installed on driver's side. I have the new cover for the passenger's side, but haven't had a chance to install. Can do ahead of delivery - or convey to owner (passenger's seat is in OK shape so it's not been a priority for me). The rest of the seats are in great condition - no rips, tears, stains in the leather.

The following is the full list of "issues" I know of:

Paint: body is in great shape - no rust issues. However, the paint is oxydized and chipping in areas (see pictures). The worst is on the roof, with some surface rust starting to show. Should at least be sanded down to bare metal and repainted. Would be my top priority if I were to keep the truck
ABS Light at instrument panel is lit. Mechanic recommended I leave it be unless I notice any braking issues. Have been driving a year with it on and it's had no braking issues. It holds fluid - no leaks - and stops on a dime as always. So I've just deferred any further maintenance.
Car was broken into last year, radio stolen. I replaced with OEM radio and added auxilary wire for iPod. Works and sounds great - and looks great with factory original look. I have not bothered to fix the rear gate and passenger side door handles (they were pried with a screw driver. Only cosmetic issue - doors still lock and work as they should.
Driver-side passenger door locks don't work. Needs a new motor...haven't bothered fixing. Lock works fine - just need to do it the old fashioned way: manually.
Driver's seat is heated model - bought from eBay seller - but never connected the heater option - so the switch doesn't do anything.
Minor cosmetic issues: small crack on dash in front of driver cased by radio thief; glove box has a broken clip (shuts OK, but needs to be held in place when opening or it falls off - easy to fix or replace); center console handle snapped off: opens and closes as normal, but doesn't snap shut - not a functional issue, but if you want it perfect, you'll need to buy a replacement handle - or center console; minor blemishes as would be expected on an 18 year old car, but nothing bad or that can't be improved.

This has been our rock as we raised our kids. Now we have two moving on to college - and are ready to pass this on to someone else who will put it to good use. It's serving as a spare car and driven rarely on weekends. If you know this truck, you know it doesn't like to sit around. So she needs to go to a new home. You are getting a really great truck that won't let you down! Thanks for your interest and good luck. Please don't hesitate to send any questions.

2015 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition goes dark, looks good

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

Forget about the so-called sporty Chevrolet Silverado Rally Edition. If you want a General Motors pickup with some added style, this one looks like a more cohesive, well-done package to our eyes (though it's also not "sporty," despite GM using that term over and over again). It's called the GMC Sierra Elevation Edition, and it hits dealerships later this year.
For its more stylish truck, GMC has fitted the 2015 Sierra Double Cab with a body-colored grille surround, door handles, mirror caps, side moldings and bumpers. The truck also rides on black 20-inch aluminum wheels.
The Elevation Edition, which GMC contends qualifies as a sport truck, comes standard with the Sierra's 285-horsepower, 4.3-liter V6, though buyers can opt for the more powerful 5.3-liter V8 with 355 hp. Other standard goodies include OnStar with 4G LTE connectivity and Bluetooth, all housed in the 4.2-inch Intellilink color display.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

GM extends production cuts, affects Cadillacs, Camaro and Acadia

Thu, Apr 8 2021

General Motors is extending production cuts at some of its North America factories due to a chip shortage that has roiled the global automotive industry, the U.S. carmaker said on Thursday. The move's impact has been baked into GM's prior forecast that the shortage could shave up to $2 billion off this year's profit. GM's Lansing Grand River assembly in Michigan will extend its downtime through the week of April 26. The plant makes Chevrolet Camaros and Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sedans. It has been out of action since March 15. GM's Spring Hill assembly in Tennessee will shut down for two weeks starting the week of April 12. The plant makes the Cadillac XT5, XT6 and GMC Acadia. The company said it has not taken downtime or reduced shifts at any of its more profitable full-size truck or full-size SUV plants due to the shortage. The news was first reported by CNBC.
