1995 Chevrolet Silverado K3500 6.5l Turbo Diesel 4x4 on 2040-cars
Sanford, North Carolina, United States
|
1995 Chevrolet Silverado K3500 4X4 6.5L Turbo Diesel I listed this the past couple of weeks and I have since
fixed the issue that was wrong with it. AS it turns out, it was the CPS or
Crankshaft Position Sensor. I took it for a long drive today after changing it
and ran like a top again and no SES lights. I was happy wasn’t the IP. Now this truck is for sale with no reserve. I have put about
15 grand into it in the past two years yet it won’t pull my new 5th wheel and I
have already moved on to a larger engine truck. It pulled my 30 foot just fine
but the big rig I got a few months back is just too much for it and I am just
not convinced that putting this turbo, this cooler, and such is the way to go
so here we sit! Some of the repairs that have been done in the past two
years: New long block and all externals 2 years ago to include
turbo, IP, injectors, glow plugs, 130 GPM water pump, harmonic balancer and pulley,
vacuum pump, Upgraded duramax dual t-stat, duramax Fan and clutch, hoses, flex
plate, new fuel system, new lines, hoses, belt, motor mounts, new starter and alternator,
new cooler hose and cooler for oil, and new PMD mounted in front of battery.
Plus I am sure much more small pieces were added I just can’t remember. Long Block is American and was $5500.00 Motor has 70,000
miles on it. I installed a new 4” exhaust system with SS muffler about
a year ago. I installed a new radiator about 6 months ago. I installed new U joints, had new front 4x4 shaft
installed also. I had a shop install new front end parts to include
axles, hubs, ball joints, bushings, upper control arms, tie rod ends,
suspension strut, stabilizers, and all bushings related about 8 months ago. I had rear end gone through about 6 months ago by a shop
and they replaced the yolk, bearings, and seals. I installed new brakes, calipers, rotors, hoses, rear
lines to front, drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, pads, spring kits, new emergency
brake cables, and ect… about 6 months ago. Front rotors are drilled and slotted
type. I found a like new bed in Georgia in my travels so I had
a body shop paint it to truck original color and install it about 6 months ago. I installed new grill, head lights, parking lights, and
led tail lights about a year ago. I put new front fenders on about a year ago. I replaced all the heating and cooling actuators, doors,
and control unit about 1.5 years ago. I installed new glow plug harness and battery cables I
had custom made when I installed the engine. Really nice! I had GM flush fluid in trans and change filter about a
year ago. Had them check tranny and was OK. I replaced the neutral safety switch about 7 months ago. And I just replaced the CPS today! I also added a K&N air intake about a year ago or so. I put on new tires and Rims about 4 months ago. Nice mags
to say the least. I am sure there are other things I have done but just so
much I can’t remember. Oil has been changed every 3 to 4 thousand miles since
new with Rotella 15/40. What I know is wrong with truck: There is one stabilizer that needs changed, looks loose
and I will change that this week when I get it home. There is a small drip and it could be coming from an oil
cooer line connector? I really don’t know but it is very minor. Could be a
valve cover too? Not really sure. Truck other than bed needs to be painted if desired.
Doors are in good shape. Small amount of rust on rocker panels under doors. There are a few minor dents on truck that I haven’t fixed
yet. Was planning on having that done this winter while on lay off. Plans have
changed! Interior is in decent shape. Front driver’s seat shows
wear. Carpet shows some wear but not bad for a truck with 320,000 on it. Antilock brakes don’t work and never have since I have
owned truck. Didn’t bother me at all. Other than that, the truck comes as is with no
warranties. The above is fact and I believe I have spelled it out to you as to
the best of my knowledge. 4x4 works but I don’t use it. Have tried it twice and
was fine. Please ask any questions before bidding. I have a clear
title and it is ready to go. I am taking it back home tomorrow to Jamestown, TN
if you would like to see it please let me know. Comes with 5th wheel hitch and tool box too. Thanks for looking! |

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany
Wed, Nov 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?
Sun, May 22 2016These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions. Internet, what do you think? Related Video: This article by Zach Doell originally appeared on Boldride.

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro
Wed, Dec 3 2014Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
