1987 Chevrolet Chevy Dually R30con R30 454 Ci Engine Automatic Transmission 2wd on 2040-cars
North Oxford, Massachusetts, United States
|
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my truck. I've owned it for about 7 months and used it to haul my car trailer to and from racing events with never had any mechanical issues on the road at all. The truck has a 454 engine (very reliable and powerful) along with an automatic transmission that just pulls and pulls with no issues at all. This truck belonged to a friend and I know for a fact it was well maintained and serviced. This truck turned a lot of heads during summer car/truck shows held locally.
I recently bought a Ford F350 dually with a 7.3 diesel and a bank sidewinder turbo. I no longer need this truck. It's going to make some a great truck. Over a period of time the outside tires on the dually have become somewhat dry rotted and should be replaced soon. I have used the truck with the tires like they are and have no reason to think they are in immediate danger of blowing out. Just being upfront disclosing what i know from experience about this truck. The starter sometimes just clicks a few time before the truck starts. Might be a bad connection on the starter or even the starter might be going. If it is the starter. I'll buy another one and have it replaced before you take the truck at my own expense. The engine runs great and has no leaks of noises that would indicate any problems. The automatic transmission shifts perfect on time ever time. No slips or leaks anywhere. As I stated I bought this truck from a friend and happened to know first hand the body kit on this truck cost over $3,000.00 not including labor. He did it himself. And he did a great job I might add. The top of the rockers on both sides of the doors need attention. This looks like an easy fix. The frame is solid. No rot. I have this truck advertised in the local markets such as craigslist and a local truck magazine with an asking price of $2800.00 This price is $200.00 less then the just the body kit cost. I'm sure this truck will not last long even though it is only 2 wheel drive. What else is there to say? I want your business. Here is my policy: 1) Should I fail to list or mention any existing issues I will give the buyer the the following options no questioned asked: a) cancel the sale and return any money received (buyer must agree to cancel the sale through ebay) (offer good for 7 days after the auction ends) b) to discount selling price accordingly (must be agreed on by both parties or go back to option a) 2) Winning bidder has 7 days after the auction ends to complete the sale. Payment in full must be received within this time Otherwise option 1 under this policy will not apply. 3) Once satisfied with the purchase, proper feedback will be left at this time. Both from the buyer and the seller. We will do whatever we can to assure you are happy with the sale. 4) No refunds will be given after the 7th day after the auction ends. It is the buyers responsibility to make sure he/she can make the deadline to inspect the item before he/she bids. Should he/she bid and not inspect the item within the allowed time they forfeit all recourse and agree to accept the item as it. Here are the simple terms I would ask the bidder to accept before bidding: 1) The buyer must contact me with 24 hours after the auction ends to confirm the sale. 2) If the buyer is not planing to pick the truck up with 7 days after the sale, he/she agrees to send me a $200.00 deposit via paypal as a good faith deposit. This will secure the sale and prevent the need for me to file a non paying bidder complaint with ebay. 3) I ask the buyer to come inspect the truck personally before paying the balance and expect this to be done with 7 after the auction ends. Once the buyer is happy with the purchaser would ask the appropriate feedback be left by both of us. 4) The buyer is responsible for all transportation or shipping costs, Local pickup only unless other arrangement have made prior to bidding on this item. 5) Acceptable payment is cash only. Nothing else. Paypal can be used for a deposit only if need be. Once payment s received I will transfer title and all ownership to the buyer. Massachusetts does not have temporary plates or tags. Please make the proper arrangements to transport. I can fedex the paperwork to you overnight once the payment is received in full but I really encourage you to look over the truck and make sure it was as I described it. My feedback is 100% and I work very hard to keep it there. So please understand I'm doing the best i can to be totally honest with this sale. If you have any questions or need an additional information please email me and I"ll do my best to accommodate your request. Email asking for any addition pictures or requests and if given enough time I will try to post them up on the web |

Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns
Wed, May 4 2016These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]
Mon, Oct 19 2015UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.
