OH WOW! 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD 4X4 TOW PACKAGE, BOSS PLOW PACKAGE, NO RESERVE!!
This truck was a trade in to a local chevrolet dealer. It is being offered for sale with no reserve, as-is just like it was taken in. This truck was not inspected by a mechanic, but I have driven it and looked it over, and will tell you everything that I knw about it. I have several years experience appraising vehicles, so although I am not a certified mechanic, I'm pretty good as assessing these trucks. This vehicle will be wholesaled at a local dealer auction next week, it is being offered no reserve here, if you are the high bidder and follow through with the transaction it's yours, just bid what you want to pay, and take it home at a great price. This vehicle could use a couple things, but it does runs and drive really well, and will make someone an amazing workhorse.
Lets start with the exterior. This vehicle does have the typical northers rust on the rockers and cab corners as you can see. The rest of the body is pretty darn clean considering the age and miles. The bed does not have a liner and shows normal use. The tailgate functions. The extended cab doors do not open, not sure why, but they won't unlatch. This truck has very nice HD polished wheels. I would say considering the age and being a norther truck, she's a pretty good looker. Obviously this is how it was traded in and would benefit from a professional buff and detail. The glass is all in good shape. This does have a Boss plow mount, the electric plug-in and the plug for the joystick inside. I'm not a plow guy, so I don't know what you need to make it a plow, but I'm sure you plow guys out there can tell from the pics.
The interior of this truck is clean. Again, it could use a detail, but as you can see in the pictures the seats are all in good shape and clean, and the floors are really clean for a 2001. The dash and door panels all seem to be very nice. The A/C is ice cold, and it has a nice aftermarket cd player with a USB input for your ipod. The windows and locks function like they should, the drivers mirror does not.
The mechanical. This truck runs and drives amazing for the mileage. It goes down the road straight and tight. The heavy duty suspension on these really does hold up well. The engine sounds great with plenty of power, no abnormal noises, and it doesn't smoke. There is no check engine light on and it runs smooth. The transmission is tight and it goes through all of the gears just like it should. The tires are about 70% warn. They are matched Michelins, and ride nice. I would say you can still get thousands of miles out of them, but they will need to be replaced in the future. The brakes stop well with no pulse. What it needs: The airbag light comes on from time to time, buy it to be on. The ABS appears to activate just before you stop, when you get down to less than 5mph, you get the noice and pedal feedback. The ABS light isn't on, and they obviously work but not sure why they kick on at a stop. There is an oil leak that could be coming from the pan, the oil filter, or the rear main seal. Figure it to be the rear main seal. The 4x4 engages and comes out just like it should. If you hit the button going down the road like 40MPH, you get a half second grind noise when it drops in, if you put it in when you are stopped it doesn't make the noise. Works great, just seems like the on the fly isn't syncing right at speed.
So thats it, this is a good running driving truck that I wouldn't be afraid to drive 1000 miles back home. It does need a few things, but for the price I'm sure it will go for, this is going to be a hell of a truck for the price. Be the high bidder! This truck will have to be picked up between 9-5 M-F if you want the title when you leave. If you are not a Michigan resident you will get the title and a bill of sale. If you are a Michigan resident you will pay 6% sales tax, sign the paperwork, and get your title from the state in 10-15 days. Pickup or shipping is your responsibility, but I will help as much as possible. Paypal deposit is due in 48 hours, full payment and pickup within 7 days.
If you have any questions please ask, good luck and thanks for looking!

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt
Fri, Oct 31 2014The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network
Wed, Jan 14 2015Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News. Via Motors will launch the production of an electric Chevrolet Silverado. The company will convert the pickups into range-extended EVs at its assembly line in Mexico, near GM's Silverado plant. Via has the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles per year at its Mexico facility. Via Motors Chairman (and former GM Vice Chairman during the early days of the Chevrolet Volt project) Bob Lutz wants to help make EVs mainstream in America, and believes that requires electrifying pickups and SUVs. Read more in the press release below. Bob Lutz to Announce Production Launch of the Electrified Chevy Silverado BY VIA Motors Media access to Bob Lutz, former Vice-Chairman of General Motors and father of the Chevy Volt Bob Lutz is now Chairman of VIA Motors who builds the "Volt Style" extended range electric drive system for the Silverado, the Express Van and is working on the SUV's (Tahoe, Suburban) 5 years in development.
