2006 Chevy Silverado 3500 pickup, 6.6 LBZ Duramax, 6 Speed Allison Automatic, 2 wheel drive. This started life as a cab and chassis pickup that was used as a delivery vehicle for a nearby NAPA auto parts store. They ran it for 329,000 miles and then hit a deer with it. They had a ranch hand replacement bumper on it when they hit the deer, so the damage really didn't look too bad. Unfortunately, the grille guard rolled back into the hood hard enough that it leaned the radiator support back and the fan hit the radiator. I have a body shop and also help out on the family farm, so I bought it, and fixed it myself just to use as a puller for the farm and a service truck. I replaced the hood, left fender, grille, radiator support, radiator, transmission cooler, and all the transmission lines with new OEM parts. The lights were out of another pickup I had, and I traded the damaged ranch hand bumper for the stock bumper that is currently on it. There was no frame damage other than the bumper brackets that are welded to the end of the frame. I straightened those and the bumper lines up nice. I had a friend of mine build the flatbed for it. In my opinion, he over built it as far as materials go. There were no box mounts on the frame from the factory, so instead of fabricating mounts, he welded in to the frame. It isn't welded the whole length of the frame, just every so often. It wouldn't really take much to cut the bed loose and build some proper mounts for it, but it works just fine for how I use it, and I really don't have time to change it myself. It is very heavy and was built to pull large gooseneck trailers. It's 10 1/2 ft long.
The pickup, as a whole, is in excellent condition, inside and out. The interior is very clean, and has no rips or tears in the seats. It has the work truck package, so it has a rubber floor mat, manual windows, door locks, and just the basic am/fm radio, and no cruise control. It does have air conditioning though, and it is ICE cold. I serviced the ac system while everything was apart and works awesome! The body is very clean and straight and looks very nice for a pickup with 200,000 fewer miles on it. The front tires are highway tread firestones and are probably 50%. The rear tires are pretty much new. They are retreads with an aggressive offroad tread pattern and probably have 2000 miles on them. The windshield is new and so are both batteries. I put dual post batteries in this when the originals finally went. They have a little higher CCA and they are nicer for jump starting other vehicles. The pickup starts, runs, and drives nice. It currently has 330,800 miles on it (I haven't driven it a lot since fixing it. I usually just drive it when I haul hay, or cattle. I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it, so I thought I'd throw it out there and see if there's any interest. It's a perfect pickup for the way I've been using it, but it's kind of a shame to have it sitting as often as it does.
The only real problems that exist, if you even want to call them that, are the front shocks, and the filler neck for the rear fuel tank. The shocks seem to float when I back it out of the shop. You really don't notice as much on the road due to the weight of the motor. The rear filler neck was mounted too flat to get fuel in it. If you run the back tires up on a block of wood you can still get fuel in it, but the front tank is plenty big enough on it's own.
I tried to describe this to the best of my ability, but you are definitely encouraged to ask questions, and come look at it in person if you're close enough to justify doing so. Also, if there is something in particular that you would like a picture of just let me know. The easiest way for me to get them to you is to text them. If you're interested and would like to look at it in person, it is located near Carpenter, SD. I have a pretty flexible schedule and could show it pretty much anytime. My name is Alex and you can call or text me at 605-350-2439.

NHTSA investigates 1.7 million GM SUVs for windshield wiper failures
Tue, Nov 6 2018WASHINGTON - The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Tuesday it is investigating whether General Motors should recall an additional 1.7 million sport utility vehicles due to an issue with windshield wiper failures. GM in August 2016 recalled 367,800 2013 GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox SUVs in the United States to address the problem. But after receiving 249 complaints about similar problems, the federal agency said it is probing whether the recall should be expanded to include an additional 1.7 million vehicles from the 2010-2016 model years. The automaker said it is cooperating with the NHTSA review. GM said it recalled the 2013 GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox SUVs "because warranty data showed a higher-than-expected failure rate," adding it has continued to monitor field data on other model years of those vehicles. GM noted that no crashes or injuries related to the issue have been reported. The Detroit-based automaker said the recalls were prompted after a GM Canada brand quality manager reported a potential safety issue relating to reports of windshield wiper failures in Canada through GM's "Speak Up For Safety," program in late 2015. The data showed significantly higher field incidents in parts of Canada, which prompted a June 2016 recall there. Over the next two months, a higher number of U.S. reports prompted a U.S. recall, the company added. In the 2016 recall, GM said the front-wiper module would be replaced with a module that has a water deflector and, if needed, dealers would fill the water management hole and drill a new small hole in a different location.(Reporting by David Shepardson, editing by G Crosse)Related Video: Government/Legal Recalls Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
GM to build outgoing Silverado and Sierra until late 2019
Tue, Nov 6 2018As it has done with previous generations, General Motors is keeping the outgoing versions of its 1500 pickups in production despite the arrival of the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019 GMC Sierra. The production of the previous, K2 generation models will begin to be wound down gradually, according to Automotive News, starting with crew cabs "early next year," and double and regular cab models following during "the early second half of next year." The old model trucks will continue to be built into "late 2019" based on market demand, GM's spokesperson Kim Carpenter said. The Chevrolet will go by the name Silverado LD, with the GMC Sierra designation still to be announced. Some of the outgoing models are built by sharing the assembly work between two GM plants. Partially finished Silverado and Sierra double cab bodies are shipped from Fort Wayne, Ind., to Oshawa, Ont., where the trucks are completed, including receiving paint. This eases the workload in Fort Wayne, where production of the new T1 generation trucks started in July 2018. In January, the Silao plant in Mexico will take on the duties of building new generation regular cab and crew cab trucks. Carpenter also said that the "Oshawa shuttle," as the shared production is called, has been very successful. As a result, 60,000 more trucks will be built than what the original production forecast initially called for. GM's latest quarterly profits, disclosed last week to be $1 billion, have been far higher than expected and will result in full-year profits far higher than what had been predicted in light of steel tariffs. GM isn't the only truck maker taking a similar multi-generation approach for 2019. Both the outgoing and redesigned Ram 1500 are in production, with the previous generation being dubbed Ram 1500 Classic. Related Video:
