1997 Chevrolet C2500 Silverado Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 6.5l on 2040-cars

Benton, Kentucky, United States

Up for auction is a 1997 Chevrolet Pickup, 2500 Series with a 6.5 Liter Diesel Engine.  This vehicle was purchased approximately 8 years ago by the Fire Department and was used for a brush truck.  We have upgraded the suspension some and the vehicle has decent mud/aggressive all terrain tires.

We are considering this vehicle surplus due to replacement.  The vehicle runs just fine.  It does have some wear and tear.  We cut holes in the fenders for lighting which we will leave the lights in the holes but unless another firefighter/fire department buys them, you need to consult your state/city/co as to the legality of operating them.  There were stripes on the vehicle which we have removed for the most part but impressions remain.  There are holes in the roof where a lightbar and antenna once was, plus holes and tears in floor where emergency equipment once was.  

The truck will need brakes soon, and the air conditioner does not function.  We have no idea what's wrong with it, it may just need charging but that is on someone else.  The tachometer is off a little.    As to the overall condition of the truck it is fine for a truck of its age and mileage.  It starts, runs and drives and shifts into 4 wheel drive with no operational problems.  It has manual door locks and roll up windows, basically a work truck.  

Now for the fine print.     This is a surplus vehicle and it is being sold AS-IS.  The West Marshall Fire Dept. makes no claim as to the accuracy of the condition of this vehicle or any representation other than basic observation on condition of surplus equipment.  It is the responsibility of the buyer to pick the vehicle up at our location, as we do not ship, transport or coordinate shipping other than assist a transporter service in our parking lot.  You assume all risks with this, or any equipment we sell.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
