This auction is for the sale of my Chevy Silverado Crew Cab Pickup truck. The combination of the DuraMax Diesel and Allison Transmission make it the ideal combination of power and economy for towing. I use it to tow my race car. I previously had a Dodge Dually 3500 with the Cummins diesel, and this rig tows better, and returns better economy. I get up to 21 MPG on the highway unladen, and up to 15 MPG towing my race car and trailer (7,200 #)

The 4WD gets you out of rough terrain situations when needed, and it would make an excellent snow plowing machine, even though I never plowed with this unit. It comes with a Class IV hitch receiver. The one Ton rating comes as a Single Rear Wheel arrangement rather than a Dually, and I find it to actually be better for my application. I can park the unit easier in tight spots, I save on tolls fees on Toll Roads like the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway, and the slimmer lines seem to contribute to better fuel milage. All this with very little sacrifice of GVW Rating.

I bought this truck about 3 years ago with 140,000 miles on it, and it has been a flawless performer. It has never let me down. The previous owner never towed with this vehicle. He used it to deliver show dogs back and forth to Viginia, so the early part of the vehicles life and the majority of the accumulated milage has been light duty usage. I've only towed my low stressed trailer for the last 15,000 miles, so overall wear and tear on the vehicle is about as low as you can find. It is certainly not even at Half-Life status.

The reason for selling this rig is the need to move on to a higher capacity vehicle due to an expansive effort with the race car that will demand a larger trailer that can haul more equipment. I am so sold on this Trucks mechanical combination of DuraMax and Allison, that I have chosen to stay with GMC and have selected the TopKick-Kodiak series for the longer wheelbase/load capacity that they offer.

I have just installed new tires up front and the backs will take you anywhere you want to go for at least another 12,000 miles. I am not aware of this truck needing anything. I merely turn the key, and off I go. I am an Industrial forklift mechanic by trade and I religiously change the oil and filters every 5,000 miles using the best Synthetic oils and filters. The interior is in excellent, near new condition which is a reflection of the light duty usage.

The only body flaw can be found in the picture that shows an area on the left rear corner (below the 4X4 decal) that has been disturbed by the previous owners relative that accidently backed into the truck while maneuvering in her driveway. There is slight deformation of the sheetmetal, and I often thought I would take care of the damage myself, but it constantly gets put off because it doesn't look that bad. I think a little work with a soft plastic hammer could straightened out the area, and it doesn't even need paint.

Review the pictures and you will find added extras like Window rain guards, tinted glass, a HD GM bed liner, AM-FM CD Sirius Radio, Floor mats, Full length entry step bar under both doors, and more. The high quality lo-profile fiberglass cap keeps the wind resistance low and contributes to the highest milage attainable. It also lets you park the truck under low clearance garage door spaces.

Check my flawless E-Bay rating to put your mind at ease in acquiring this trouble free truck.

Any further questions will be answered by my Home phone (908) 534-5341 between 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM (EST) or cell phone (609) 847-0738 during the day. Please don't call after 10:00 PM (EST).

I would prefer local pickup , but will consider delivery at reasonable cost.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
