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!!

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

Next Chevrolet Malibu to have 'groundbreaking,' 'passionate' design

Mon, Dec 29 2014

In our First Drive of the Chevrolet Malibu after its redesign in 2013 we wrote, "Chevy has quickly worked up a host of changes for its ever-important midsize sedan, and will be launching this 'there, we fixed it' 2014 Malibu like it's an all-new product." Still, no one cared. The Malibu has been mentioned in eight posts this year, all but two of them dealt with recalls, and one of those two was about a 2011 Malibu university science project. It came up in precisely zero posts from November 2013 to March 2014. That's why, according to a report in Automotive News, Chevrolet honchos are "hustling" to have a new Malibu ready in a year. Mark Reuss, General Motors' head of global product development, said it will have "groundbreaking design" and "groundbreaking technology," and asked investors who were showed a picture of it, "When is the last time you saw a [midsize] car this distinctive and this dramatic from General Motors?" Doubling down on the bullishness, Reuss said, "We've got our act together here on the midsize-car segment." Then, throwing every last chip on the pile, global design head Ed Welburn said the next Malibu's design will "make a significant statement" with "a very passionate design." Based on the number of comments Malibu posts get, we figure a fair few number of you would love for this to be the case; yet this is a lot of braggadocio to slather on a car that probably hasn't made "a significant statement" since Elton John had a number one record with Honky Chateau. That was 1972, if you're trying to remember. No matter the looks, the AN report says the new 'Bu will make a profit statement, selling for more money while costing less to produce. Alongside the Cruze, GM figures the pair will bring in an extra $800 million in variable profit in 2016. Which, in case it ends up being another 'butterface,' isn't bad for a silver lining.
