2001 Chevrolet 2500HD 4X4 Regular Cab 6.0L V-8 Gas. 2 owner truck. Clean and clear Georgia "Title in Hand." 121,000 Miles. 95% tread on new Kumho tires. Recently serviced and a new fan clutch just installed by the GM dealer in Thomasville, Ga. I bought this truck from the state of Tennessee as a second vehicle to use in town to and from work as well as to pull a 5420 MFWD tractor from a timber farm to another timber farm that is outside of town, and just be an all purpose truck.. It has a Ramsey 9000lb winch that works great, it pulls fairly quickly to get you out of a bind. The cable on the winch was replaced before I bought the truck, so it is a fairly new braided steel line. The truck has the commerical package which includes a larger radiator, larger alternator, towing package w/a 7 pin connector, and 2 batteries. The second battery basically just runs the winch, yet both batteries are charged by the alternator. It has 4:10 gears with a tow/haul mode. 6.0L gas engine that runs great. I had it serviced recently and it has a little over 121,000 miles. 


The Good: Good oil pressure, great power, transmission shifts tight, A/C will freeze you out, Ramsey winch works good in forward or reverse, spotlight works (I just pulled the fuse on it), Brush guard, HD commercial package, fleet scheduled maintenance most of it's life, retired due to age and miles by the state of Tennessee (they are on a scheduled fleet rotation program, they don't kill them and then sell them like Georgia tends to do, I do my homework before I spend my hard earned money), new tires, 265/75/16 Kumho A/T, recent service. 

The part that makes it a used truck: I haven't cleaned it up for any pictures. If you want me to wax it and make it look pretty, then pay me to do it, because it is a truck, not a mercedes. Being that it is a truck, please expect scratches, dings, and use of the bed. They had a fuel tank in the back that scraped the bed between the cab front corner to the wheel arches..I've got the same kind of L-tank they used on this truck in my F-250, and the same thing is happening to my truck. It didn't scrape clear through the bed floor, let's not be dramatic, but the paint is worn away on 4 corners where it shifted around. Mechanically it is very good for age and miles. If you are asking me what the mpg is, you have no clue what you are looking at. It is a 2500 HD 3/4 ton 4x4 truck. It is a heavy duty truck.. 14mpg is probably a high guess. If you need mpg, buy a Eco-boost and blow the turbo's up trying to pull your lawnmower, or buy a diesel like me, and pay out the nose to self service it and fill it up with diesel and get 20 mpg.  I like this truck, and enjoy having it, but everything is for sale, so I'm testing the waters.

 I'd say the only two things it needs are: 1)fuel sending unit- it goes from actual level to empty on gauge randomly. I set the Trip ODO and let it roll. Things like that don't bother me, if you can't handle the uncertainty of a fuel gauge, you may need nerve pills. I just put gas in it when I leave town each time I head out to the country. That's not so hard to do unless you are on a program that involves buying less than 5 bucks of gas at a time and 20 dollars worth of lottery tickets. Using my method, you'll find you can afford gas, and you'll be able to make more efficient use of your time. 2) U joints for the driveshaft. I heard it them squeaking two days ago, and this was news to me. It hadn't made that noise. It is a wear item and about $70 to fix it.  Again, not huge, I will probably have it fixed before auction end. 

Don't be fooled. I keep up with maintenance, I'm meticulous. I put tires on it, had a dealer service it, clear it as being good, and put a fan clutch on it. To me, a truck is a tool, not a shiny marble. In order for it to be the best use and best value, it has got to be well maintained and never leave me stranded, that is not an option, so I keep my equipment maintained. The only thing I would fix presently would be the u-joints and not save up and try to repaint a 11 year old truck and spray in the bedliner.. I'm just that way. As-Is, No expressed warranty guaranteed or implied. 

They don't make trucks like they used to. This was made before the GM got bought by your tax dollars and mine. Check your local tag laws and emissions. Do your homework, do me a favor and don't just buy it, then look it up, and crawfish around about it.  It will pass emissions, it has its catalytic converters etc.. it is all stock. We just don't have that around here, I don't live under a smog clouded city and never will. 

Terms are cash or certified bank check, not a personal check. I do not finance, flip coins for 100 dollars off, or take a silver set from your wedding as a part in kind trade. Private seller with valuable time, please don't waste it. Ask smart questions if you have one. I don't help ship because I don't own a shipping company. U.S. buyers only. You will not get the title until the cash or certified bank check has cleared. Then you can have at it.

GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'

Mon, Mar 17 2014

As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.

2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same

Sat, Jul 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.

Just the right Camaro can change your life

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.
