RARE 2006 Silverado 3500 Crew Cab DRW 4x4 LBZ Set up to Tow !!
Bullet Proof pre emissions LBZ and 6 speed Allison set up to pull with ultimate reliability and comfort, truck is ready to start making money today! CALL WITH OFFERS OR QUESTION 530 FIVE NINE ONE 7001 DELIVERY AVAILABLE!! This is my 2006 LBZ crew cab Duramax Silverado dually. LT, full option truck, only option it does not have is the fold down rear entertainment center. It does have the sunroof option! Heated leather seats, power adjustable, auto HVAC, 6 CD premium Bose system with XM. I am the second owner since 93,000 miles, it has a great history, has not been beat on or hot rodded, it is set up to be an efficient and reliable tow vehicle and would be great for pulling a 5th wheel, hauling cars, trailers, hotshot work, whatever you want to do with it, it is ready to start making money right now, you can drive it anywhere! It gets 20-21 mpg empty at 60mph, and about 12-13.5 mpg pulling an enclosed 40ft gooseneck at about 14,000lbs. I have full records, a list of all mods I have performed on it and oil samples going back to 120,000 miles...you will not find another Duramax with such a detailed maintenance history, especially the oil samples! Pre-Emissions LBZ, but built in 2006 so it has the newer updated riveted head gaskets from the factory. (3/06 build date) Original Injectors and CP3 (excellent injector balance rates!!) EGR has been blocked since 95,000 miles, PCV re-routed at same time. I used this LBZ to pull a 40ft enclosed gooseneck across the country, it has spent most of its life at 59mph, 5th gear 1800 RPM, and it performed flawlessly with zero breakdowns. I am reluctantly selling it because I bought a Diesel Pusher RV to pull a new trailer so the truck needs a new home. It has been setup to pull with a number of great mods, it is reliable, efficient and cost effective to run. It has an excellent service history with pretty much all work performed by myself or my ASE mechanic brother who did some of the bigger jobs on it. I have a full history of oil samples from Blackstone Labs and it shows a great engine with very low wear metals. I run full synthetics front to back. Truck has approximately 292,500 miles, mileage will go up slightly but I am no longer using it for towing work. There are numerous LBZ's with over 500,000 miles on the road, they are the best ones GM made and with good care and maintenance this truck will go another 2-300,000 miles easily! Truck has been based in Northern Nevada its entire life so little to no rust or corrosion, only light surface rust on frame and drive shaft etc. Chassis and body is on great shape! Truck has NEVER had a big tune in it, NEVER beat on, transmission has NEVER been limped, NEVER a P-0087 code or other fuel related issue! IT IS SOLID! MODS: EFI live with DSP 5 switch (Duramax Tuner LBZ tunes, using a mild economy tune) FASS Lift pump and filter setup MBRP Turbo down pipe, and full Diamond Eye exhaust with quite tone pipe from down pipe to muffler (appears stock and only slightly louder) PPE fuel valve EGR Block Billet filter head bleed screw Billet fuel head spacer kit WIF wrench EDGE Tuner (used only as gauges now) with EGT probe PCV re-route with kit Power Steering cooler Transgo Jr shift kit (installed around 120k miles) Merchant Auto Pump Rub kit for transfer case Eagle Alloys wheels (factory steel inside rear duals) Mag Hytec Rear differential cover KYB shocks all around (recently new) Firestone rear airbags with wireless remote and plumbed to air ride gooseneck hitch Cody Cushion Air ride Gooseneck hitch, with remote air adjustable ($500) B&W Turnover ball hitch 90 gallon RDS Aluminum in bed fuel tank with electric pump transfer to main tank Removeable winter front Locking GM gas cap Tekonsha Prodigy P3 brake controller. LED steering wheel control lights 1500 series lower air dam (fuel economy) Air tabs on rear roof (fuel economy) 35% tint on front sides, 5% tint on sunroof, rear sides and back window. Mobil 1 synthetic Fluids front to back. SPARE PARTS: New rebuilt fuel filter head New AC Delco Fuel Filter New Fram Air Filter New Allison transmission filter New in box EBC front brake rotors Good used spare tire I bought the truck in April 2011 from the original owner, a retired fireman who occasionally used it to pull his horse trailer, it never saw any abuse, never had a tuner or any other mods, it had regular maintenance and was in good shape, most wear to the exterior and interior was from first owner, I am very careful with my vehicles and you can see with the condition of this truck with the miles it has. It has seen more than regular maintenance with lots of little things that usually get overlooked, power steering fluid flushes, regular Dex Cool drains and refills, trued and balanced drive shaft with newer U joints, Transynd synthetic ATF in the Allison etc etc etc. In the last month it has received two brand new front tires (BFG Commercial TA's, have been getting over 100K miles on a set!) two brand new Duralast gold batteries with 3 year replacement warranty. The truck shows wear, but is in nice shape, no accidents and clean car fax history with 2 owners (may show more do to family transfer) Clean title, current tags to July 15 and full insurance. Main cosmetic issues are drivers door ding, damage to rear tail gate (fully functional just dented), wear in bed, front bed cross section is broken where tank rests against it and it should probably be fixed but is ok as is. Lots of rock chips along the front, swirl marked paint and some larger paint chips, mainly around bed area. The front windshield is original and pretty badly pitted and has a large crack, it is due to be replaced. Minor wear on interior, everything works, all heated seats, HVAC, steering wheel controls, 6 CD player ( has XM sub for another 4 months!!) and all other features and lights work as they should! 4x4 works flawlessly and saw next to no use. Rear tires are at about 50%, fronts are brand new. Batteries new, its ready for an oil change and FASS filter change. Transynd was fresh about 30,000 miles ago, same with all other fluids. Parts replaced or major maintenance: New brakes all the way around, with OEM Delco Durastop parts around 50,000 miles ago. Newer OEM alternator Newer OEM starter Recent OEM Delco Blue Donaldson air filter (the good one) Front wheel bearings always greased (via ABS sensor port) Synthetic grease in front end and drive-shaft Newer idler bearings and pulleys Consistent fluid changes, filter changes, oil samples and dex cool flushes. Newer KYB shocks all around. Belt and hoses all changed with OEM. Newer fuel filter head assembly ISSUES: The bed has a few cracks where the in bed tank bolts to it, not a complicated fix, and not major but worth pointing out. Front end will probably need some work in the near future, ball joints, idler arm, alignment, etc etc, it is original except for one tire rod and steering stabilizer which are fairly recent. Windshield is cracked and should be replaced. Antenna is removed and missing, I listened to XM exclusively. Running steps also have been removed and I no longer have them. Tailgate damaged from previous owner, bent, dented, but works fine. Door ding on drivers side. Various small scuffs, scratches and swirl marks, some pitting in drivers outside mirror and rear window. Overall this is a very solid LBZ Dually. It has taken me back and forth the lower 48 over 30 times, never a breakdown or major failure. There are a lot of photos here and I will try and also post photos of the maintenance logs and oil sample reports and well as injector balance rates. PLEASE do not hesitate to ask any questions, I will answer everything I can 100%. I know the truck very well. It is not perfect, but is setup very well to pull, will make someone a great reliable work truck that still looks good! PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS!!! FLY IN AND DRIVE IT HOME OR I WILL DELIVER FOR $1 a mile and plane ticket home ANYWHERE! 530 FIVE NINE ONE 7001

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]
Thu, Feb 12 2015The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.
