1997 Gmc Sierra Sle K1500 Shortbed For Parts. Needs Frame Replaced on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:50901
Location:

Hermitage, Pennsylvania, United States

Hermitage, Pennsylvania, United States

Truck has a bad frame. Note, the cap is not included. It is a Dodge cap and is for sale on another auction. I do have an old tonneau cover that I will put on it.

 It has four excellent tires on it. Wrangler TD with about 1000 miles on them. I just replaced the front brakes, rotors, calipers, and shocks. I replaced the rear bumper last year, and the rear shocks last year. 4 wheel drive works great, and with the TD tires it will go in snow.

The engine is the 5.0 L with 50901 original miles. It runs great. It has the K&N filter charger on it. It has had synthetic oil in it since I bought it in 1998 at 17,000 miles. Interior is in very good condition. I have a carpet layer over the original carpet since 1998, and it has had the catch-all liners since then also. Every thing in the truck works. Air conditioning is good, CD and Radio are good with the exception of the left door speaker. It just went out. Rockers are original and in great shape for a 1997. Bed is very good with one rust through at front of passenger side rear tire. It has a Pendaliner since new. 

The truck has a reconstructed title. I bought it from salvage in 1998. It had a front collision shortly after original owner bought it, and he would not accept a repaired truck. I replaced the front end myself with all GM parts except I added the K&N filter box to it instead of the original air box, and the fan clutch is aftermarket instead of GM. I could not pay the difference in price and it has been fine for the 33K miles since. There are no air bags in the truck.

This is a great truck if you want to buy a frame and complete a project, of if you have a good frame and a bad body.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.

2013 GMC Acadia Denali

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

Refreshed, Not Refreshing
I'm probably ill-suited to accurately and fairly take the full measure of a vehicle like the 2013 GMC Acadia Denali. This is a machine conjured around the express notion of corralling and then herding a brood of rafter-swinging hatchlings to and fro in relative comfort, and with no such passel of wee Bowmans to call my own, it's difficult to give this rig a fair shake. While I can certainly weigh cargo capacity, legroom and fuel economy stats with the best of them, I'd be lying to your face if I said the word "crossover" didn't urge some uncontrollable Pavlovian recoil from the murky recesses of my frame. To put it simply, I just can't stand the damn things.
As a rule, the segment is built on a bed of compromise. Manufacturers love nothing more than to spin up a tired yarn about the virtues of this particular neck of the market. We're told the crossbreeds deliver all the ride quality, driving dynamics and fuel economy of a car married with the seating position, capability and interior volume of the SUV set. That all sounds as swell as a sunset, but as the 2013 Acadia Denali so artfully illustrates, the advertising on the box is rarely congruous with the prize inside. Even with an imaginary squad of younglings at my heels, the refreshed luxury crossover doesn't quite manage to scratch the promised itches.

2014 Chevy Silverado details continue to dribble out

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gotten its hands on a few more details concerning the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and the 2014 GMC Sierra. General Motors held a conference call on the two trucks, allowing Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for both, to answer a few questions. Luke said truck buyers are largely concerned with power and fuel economy, and as such, GM will continue to explore new methods of providing both. That may translate into any number of drivetrain permutations, including light-duty diesel engines, eight-speed transmissions or even a twin-turbocharged V6.
What's more, both the 2014 Silverado and its GMC twin will boast a tow rating of 11,500 pounds, but only when equipped with a max-trailering package. Without that special package, the rating drops to 10,200 lbs for regular cabs and 9,700 lbs for crew cabs. Buyers will no longer be able to opt for a 4.10 gear ratio.
We're also excited to hear that GM plans on making the Z71 package into something more than just a few a stickers. While Luke didn't go into details, PickupTrucks.com says "it will get significant improvements in the future." Head over to the site for a quick rundown of the call's highlights.
