1995 Chevrolet Silverado K3500 4x4 6.5l Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars
Sanford, North Carolina, United States
|
1995 Chevrolet K3500 for sale: I bought this truck about 3 years ago and it sat for about a year before I got to it. It wasn't in great shape then but I needed something to pull a 5th wheel and it was affordable or so I thought. Two years ago I put in a new long block engine, all new hoses, injection pump, lines, injectors, glow plugs, upgrade 130 GPM water pump and the upgrade duramax dual t-stat and assembly and fan, new alternator, new vac pump, sensors, turbo and so much more. In the last 8 months I have replaced the brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, lines and hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hubs, front axles, all ball joints, upper control arms, all tie rod ends, stabilizer strut, shocks, 4x4 shaft, and had the rear end gone through with yolk replaced. A few months ago I put on a different bed that I found in Georgia which was in mint condition and I had it painted by a paint shop. I had custom made battery cables as well as glow plug harness at time I put engine in. I have replaced the locks, dampers in the heat/cool system, all the actuators, the heating/cooling control center. I replaced all u-joints in the past 3 months and they replaced the rear bearings and seals also when they did the rear end. I had the transmission checked out and had them do a filter and flush at GM garage about a year ago. I also put on a 4" exhaust and a K&N air intake about a year ago. Front fenders I put on last year. Not the truck color as I was going to change the color when I restored the rest of it but didn't like that color when it was on. Has a blue ray starter on it and life time alt. paperwork in in glove box for warranties. Changed tires and wheels 4 months ago so in great shape. Truck comes with tool box and 5th wheel hitch as shown. RV does not come with it. Also has a new radiator 6 months ago. I have replaced about everything on this truck that can be changed out except the tranny, power steering, air conditioner, and front dif. and I spared no expense doing it either. I was going to complete the restoration this winter when I was on layoff however I bought a new 5th wheel three months ago and pulled it from Florida to North Carolina and it didn't pull it very well. Really cut down speed on hills so I parked it in the RV park we often stay at for long terms and went back to hotels for the past few months. I left Penn last week to head back to NC and between Richmond VA and Raleigh it shut down like I turned the key off. I pulled over and started right back up, went another 80 miles and it did it again. First time in two years I got an SES light. Well, made it to Raleigh although it was dying about every 10 to 15 miles. It would start right back up so I changed the PMD when I got home, and then tested it and was the same. I pulled the SES Codes and told me it was either the CPS (crankshaft position sensor) or the IP (Injection Pump). I don't know what one it is, could be one or the other or both? I just don't know and since it wont pull my new RV, I am just going to sell it. I just don't have time to mess with it since it wont pull my RV and I have to buy a bigger truck so my plans to wrap it up this winter has ended. Now this pulled my 30' unit just fine for two years but my new unit is 38' and much heavier so, its just not big enough for that 5th wheel. I have done by very best to describe this truck. I have babied it, gave it a ton of love, but its time we part! This truck starts immediately, have had no issues, I did put a block heater in it (the good one) for the block but have never used it. Has never fell below 30 degrees where I have been in the winter so never used it. I also put in new LED tail lights, new grill with smoke lights in it about a year ago. I put over 15 grand in this truck in past two years and have it listed locally at the rv park where I am parked so basically the first 5 grand takes it. I wont take less then 5 grand for it or I will part it out. The current engine in it has just over 70,000 miles on it and the long block alone was 5500.00 bare. Please ask questions before bidding. I give no warranties or promises with this truck but that the above it complete and true. I had the oil cooler lines replaced a little while back along with the oil cooler and I did see a small drip recently so he may have nicked the oil line connector when he installed the new ones. Not sure as didn't climb under and just had an oil change so may have been from that. I have used the 4 x4 twice just to check to see if worked and it does. I don't have any reason to use the 4x4 or haven't anyway. Truck is located in Moncure NC which is just outside of Raleigh. I am traveling but will come back for a serious buyer. I have it hooked up to my RV right now in case park owner needs to move it. The AC works well and I put a new gas tank in it also and lines about 10 months ago too. I am sure there is something I have missed that I added to this truck as I have done so much to it. I love the truck except I just cant see putting more time and cash in it to have sitting around when it wont work for me. Please done hesitate to ask any questions. If you don't mind to do some work here or there this would be a great truck. The interior is original and not perfect either but not too bad, just average for an old truck. Heck, cant be to much else to replace in the future as I replaced about all of it already. I have clear title ready to go. I will have to remove tags at time of sale as NC requires them to be returned. |

These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions. Click here to see the ACEEE's list of the Greenest and Meanest vehicles sold in the United States in 2015.

Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant
Mon, Jun 23 2014The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
