Hello all. Up for sale is my 2004.5 CHEVROLET DURAMAX DIESEL SILVERADO 2500HD LT CREW CAB. This is the "LLY" version which is the 2nd version GM offered in 2004 with the improved fuel injector design.

WHY I AM SELLING THE TRUCK:
Quite frankly, I do not use it to it's full potential. While it still has some residual value, I figured it would be best to sell it in lieu of something more suited for my commuting needs. The majority of the miles driven on this truck are highway miles.

HOW THIS TRUCK WAS USED:
I am the original owner of this truck since I bought it NEW off the lot in Dallas, TX back in 2004.
I decided on this particular truck because I knew that I would be accruing lots of mi. on a vehicle to commute long distances [sometimes up to 25-30k mi. in a yr] and that I needed something that was stout enough to be able to handle those miles dependably. I used it as a 2nd source of income working for real estate developers yrs. gone by to pull tractors from the frame hitch. This was done on an occasional basis whenever there was work. It was not my full time job.

AFTERMARKET ITEMS THIS TRUCK HAS:
This is primarily a STOCK truck. However, here are a couple aftermarket items that I did add to it:

-- BILSTEIN SHOCKS [RIDES THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE FROM THE FACTORY]
-- DRIVERS/PAX TINTED WINDOWS [CAME WITH FACTORY TINT FOR REAR SIDE
   WINDOWS AND REAR WINDOW]
-- [2] approx. 6mo. old EVERSTART MAXX 800 CCA BATTERIES
-- LINE-X BEDLINER WITH OVER THE RAILS COVERAGE
-- N.FAB TWO STEP WHEEL-WHEEL SS NERF BARS
-- HANKOOK ATM DYNAPRO TIRES LT245/75R16 LOAD E [VERY GOOD CONDITION
   WITH LOTS OF TREAD]

**NOTE** This truck is NOT a tuner truck and has NEVER been a tuner truck. I did not tow anything super heavy with it and this truck has more than adequate power for what I used it for.

WHAT THIS TRUCK NEEDS:
This truck does have a couple of items that are in need of repair/replace.

-- Windshield is cracked.
-- RT Frnt passenger window just stopped going down -- new motor/assy at AUTOZONE is around
    $150
-- It has a "surge" sometimes at idle. This points to a faulty fuel-pressure regulator. This a
   very common and pesky issue with these trucks. It does not mean you cannot drive the truck still.
   In fact, I have driven this truck like this for a while. It is just more of a nuisance than anything.
   Look it up on all of the forums or "google" it if you wish.
-- Missing RT Frnt. passenger power seat plastic knob adjuster that fell off and was lost. [can be seen
   in picture]
-- RT Front mirror has plastic bits of the mirror missing and mirror glass is cracked. Fully functional
   still including RH integral turn signal and power mirror folding option fully functional.
-- Various rock chips, dings/dents, scratches, etc. as expected from a 200k+ mi. truck.
-- Driver seat appears that up/down selector does not work. Actuation noise is made when the knob is moved up/down. All other adjustments work.
-- There are some stains, scratches, dents/dings, etc. on exterior/interior of the truck. I will try my best to represent all obvious imperfections.
-- One missing rear floormat.
-- Some clear-coat on alloy wheels appears penetrated, and some oxidation has formed on an area of two of the factory wheels. Please advise if you want close-up pics.
 
MECHANICAL CONDITION OF TRUCK:
This truck has served me very well and continues to serve me very well. To my knowledge,
everything is in good condition and works. I was anal about oil/filter fuel/filter changes to this rig
over it's life. I ALWAYS used OEM or better filters [Like WIX/BOSCH] Oil used was either Shell
Rotella, MOBIL 1 DELVAC or MOBIL 1 TURBO DIESEL oil. There are no leaks of any kind in my driveway from oil.

The "mighty" Allison transmission has also always been serviced at the fluid change intervals including spin on filter changes and shifts and strong and smooth as the day I bought it. There are no leaks of any kind in my driveway from any transmission fluid.

I faithfully had the rear differential oil changed at the recommended intervals as well as the lubing of the chassis zirc fittings at their recommended intervals. There are no leaks of any kind in my driveway from and diff. fluid or chassis fluids, etc.

The drive-ability/handling of this truck is very good and very smooth.

THIS MOTOR RUNS STRONG. Upon cold start-up, this motor does not produce any smoke of any kind to indicate any problems. Like I mentioned above, it has always been serviced and has never had any tuners or aftermarket "performance parts" added to it -- PERIOD. I cannot overemphasize that enough.

HVAC: A/C BLOWS COLD. Heat works as it is supposed to.

There is not doubt in my mind that this motor would go another 200k mi. EASILY. I have personally talked to some owners at the local dealership who brought their 2004 in for servicing with over 500k original mi. These Duramax diesel motors have established some very impressive reliability/longevity numbers.

**NOTE** Current Mi. are approx. 209670+ as I continue to drive this vehicle some until sold.
Please contact me for more interior pics or other pics that you may want to see in greater detail that are not included in this ad and I will try to meet your needs ASAP.

**NOTE** Local Pick-Up will enjoy a $500 discount off the final purchase price.

Thank you and Good Luck!!

Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way

Wed, Mar 4 2020

GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.
