Sadly due to regulations in our community this truck is not allowed and we are forced to sell it.

I had to move this from our location as it is not allowed in our neighborhood. I had done quite a bit of work already to it but I wanted to put a new air filter and some more gas in it for a new owner, after getting the air filter I started to drive over for gas and as I pulled out the truck the spider gears and rear carrier broke, I put it on a trailer and took it out to another location. Engine under 3000 miles as well as trans. You cannot build this truck for under $20k.

Take note that I removed the chunks out of the rear and it can still be driven onto a trailer.


The bad is the rear spider gears and carrier need replaced

Stereo amp removed fuse as the wiring needs fixed or amp replaced

Air compressor was working for rear air bags and has now stopped, I have not tested why yet as we had to move it that night from our home to another location and I have not been back out to check it.


I cannot verify the condition of this vehicle, that is up to the buyer, I have done my best to describe it the best that I can which includes checking what I have. There are no warranties and the vehicle is sold as is where as. I have only owned this truck for 2 months and only drove it from a little less than a month. I went through the truck and replaced anything that I found was needed to make it safe to drive and anything that needed replaced that I found. On a title check you can see an odometer issue, I know of none, it was most likely an error but in any event what is most important is to know that the gauges were replaced and do not represent the vehicle mileage, the gauges do however represent the engine/trans mileage. Often times when an odometer rolls over it may get the 1 missed in front of the other 5 numbers or some only have 5 numbers and thus possibly that owner did not notice. I cannot say, just commenting on what I see on the title/vehicle history and wanted to be clear about it as there is nothing hidden I say that because the factory dash is not in the truck other then the vin number section, the rest was covered with a custom made dash, custom switches, and custom shark digital gauges.

Truck must be sold, as much as I would love to keep it we are not allowed to store it at our home.

Truck has a clear title and is registered in my name, street legal.

Seats could use to be replaced and would look really good with a set of 4 recaro or corbeau bucket seats in it. I had many things I was going to do with it but sadly it must go and I must move on.

When it was drivable (rear axle not having problems) it ran and drove perfect and was very fun to drive. If you do NOT like attention then this is not the truck for you, I say this because everyone will stop and talk to you about it, everyone will stare at it, everyone will point at it, so if you do like attention this is the truck for you.


Please no games, vehicle must go and must be paid for right away as we are looking to purchase a home and need it to be sold right away.

'Killing a Duramax' Gale Banks YouTube series methodically tunes a diesel to death

Thu, Feb 27 2020

Learning or perfecting a skill by watching YouTube videos is known as attending YouTube University. GM Authority picked up on one of the video site's more fascinating courses, hosted by Gale Banks; in a fair world, he should be referred to as Professor Banks when it comes to diesel engines and truck tuning. A few months after GM introduced the updated L5P 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 in the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD that ships with 454 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque, Banks decided he wanted to methodically tune the engine to death. The purpose of the resulting series, called "Killing a Duramax," is to push more power out of the engine in order to discover which parts break and when — or, as Banks puts it, force-feed the Duramax "until the crank hits the street and the heads hit the hood." With that knowledge, Banks can figure out all the weak points on his way to building what he calls a "Superturbo," that being a supercharged, twin-turbo race engine with more than 1,000 hp. What makes the series fascinating is Banks' knowledge, paired with the company's comprehensive iDash engine monitoring system that keeps tabs on a glut of parameters every step of the way. So for instance, you get Banks explaining the differences between inches of mercury and barometric pressure, how those are different from the water content of the air measured in grains, then showing those readouts on the iDash, then explaining in detail how they affect the air density in the Duramax system. The stock Borg-Warner variable turbo gets a lot of airtime — Banks accuses it of being "out to lunch" because he feels it's the weakest link on the engine. That turns into a turbo teardown and a deep explanation of performance pitfalls, such as when air pressure on the turbine begins to diverge from the boost pressure coming from the compressor. Banks says he can keep close tabs on where power's coming from, because the iDash monitors the horsepower contribution provided by the ambient air, the turbo, and the intercooler separately. The major changes so far are a stouter Precision 7675 turbo and TurboSmart wastegate (episode 5), a twin intake (episode 6), a custom liquid-cooled intercooler from a marine engine, a new GM oil cooler and synthetic oil (episode 10), and new injectors (episode 11).

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt

Fri, Jan 3 2014

Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.
