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!!

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
