I'm selling my 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax Diesel. I've only owned it since the winter, however due to a recent change in jobs, I find myself driving a lot more and it simply isn't practical to own at this point.


I've been a diesel truck enthusiast most of my life, and I looked high and low before purchasing this truck. It was a one owner truck before me, owned by a man who used it to tow his camper. There are fifth wheel rails in the bed from this, but it was never used for work towing or abused. I have only used it occasionally to tow a horse trailer and used it as my daily driver.

The truck is excellent condition. It has never been plowed with, and the front end is nice and tight. There is no rust on the body, nor are there any major dents, dings or scratches. (A few here and there you would find on any ten year old vehicle, but nothing major.)

This truck has every option except the sunroof and DVD. It is 4x4, crew cab short bed. It's an SLT, so it has power everything, leather, Bose sound, heated seats, and automatic A/C.

The truck has just under 82,000 miles, which is very low for a Duramax of this age. This will go up some as it is my daily driver. I've kept it well maintained during the time I had it, and added quite a few modifications:

It has:

- LBZ Turbo mouthpiece
- Brand new Fox Racing Shocks on all 4 corners
- Magnaflow Downpipe
- 5 Inch MBRP straight pipe to a 6 inch polished tip
- Edge CTS 4 inch touchscreen in a dash pod. (ONLY used for gauges. This truck has NEVER been tuned or programmed)
- Prodigy brake controller
- Denali Projector Headlights
- AVS bug visor

I've also done a few maintenance items, including flushing the power steering / hydroboost system out with Amsoil synthetic. I also have 5 gallons of Amsoil Trans-Synd and a new Allison filter to go with the truck, which is almost $300 by itself. 


Minor Issues:

There is a little bit of surface rust on the frame here and there. No rust on the cab or bed; Please see the videos for more info. The rear passenger door reflector is missing, and there is some peeling paint underneath the headlight switch. Also, when the truck is cold, there is sometimes an odd groaning noise from the front end. I'm not sure why this happens, but it goes away once the truck is warm and doesn't always happen when it's cold.

This is bar none one of the nicest LLY trucks out there, ESPECIALLY in the northeast. Please let me know if you'd like to see the truck before bidding and we can set something up. Thanks!

GM updating fullsize pickups for 2015

Sat, 10 May 2014

As Ford prepares to hit the market with its x-factor, aluminum-intensive F-150 and Ram sales stand tall enough to meet General Motors truck sales eye-to-eye, GM is putting the word out that it's going to add more features to its trucks and do so more regularly. An executive engineer for pickups told reporters that "a whole array" of changes are on the way as soon as the 2015 model year and then would likely come "the year after that, the year after that, the year after that."
Only GM knows the way it plans to go with its fullsize trucks, with almost everyone else - including its dealers - griping about market share at the same time as they applaud profits and hope for clarity and growth. GM raised prices on the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra not long after launch even as it was losing market share and getting called "the least successful large pickup launch over the last 15 years," further upsetting dealers, then Ram outsold the Silverado in March of this year and led GM to increase incentives. But transaction prices rose with the premium; in the first quarter of this year more than 37 percent of the trucks costing more than $40,000 were the Silverado and Sierra, leading one dealer to say of the Sierra, "You can't sell a cheap one," and the analyst who made that "least successful launch" comment to opine, "GM may have made the right call to go for price over share."
We won't know for a few months what any of these updates will be, but the rumored changes for the Silverado and Sierra appear to cover all the bases, including appearance, capability and fuel economy. Rumors run to higher gear counts, stop-start technology and diesel engines before brand-new pickups come for the 2019 model year, those next-generation models supposedly to be engineered with a lot more aluminum.

GM recalling Silverado and Sierra HD diesel pickups over fuel gauge follies

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

General Motors is recalling 9,733 of its heavy-duty twins over concerns with their 6.6-liter diesel engines and dual fuel tanks. The recall covers some Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from model years 2012 and 2013, although the exact dates that the recalled trucks were built isn't specified. There's also no mention of how many models come from Chevrolet and how many are from GMC.
The problem rests with the transfer pump responsible for moving fuel from the rear tank to the front tank - it could fail, resulting in an inaccurate fuel gauge. It hardly requires explaining, but a faulty fuel gauge could leave drivers in a situation where they run out of diesel.
GM will begin notifying customers of affected vehicles, who will be asked to report to their dealers for a free replacement transfer pump.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
