 Hard to find a Duramax in this condition with these low miles at this price. I don't really need to sell it, I am just considering it because I sold the large living quarters trailer I used it to tow with and really do not need a truck this big anymore and somewhat tired of the inconveniences of diesel.. Never been used for hard work, only pulling horse trailers. I thought I was the second owner and guy I bought it from was the first, but the auto check says 3 owners. However, I have had it for the past 95,000 miles out of the 107,000 on it. Just had its 100k check-up about 2 years ago with no problems. This truck has only had an avg of 8000 miles put on it a year and is really just broken in for a diesel. No rust and no accidents, it would be considered in excellent condition except for the fender damage. With good fenders, I have seen comparable trucks like this listed in the $23k-25k range at dealerships. Everything works on it (except electric mirror control on sideways movement, you just push them in/out were you want them and then can adjust up/down as needed). Gooseneck tow ball and outlet in the bed with a Line-X professionally sprayed bed liner. Receiver hitch and bumper pull outlet also work and used recently. Tow transmission button on steering wheel and trailer brake actuator professionally installed under front dash (see pic). Just used push-button 4WD a month ago with no problems, drove great. Six brand new tires less than 2000 miles ago and new front shocks. Beautiful, smooth ride. Good regular maintenance and frequent fuel filter changes, no leaks, does not burn oil.Always starts. Has cold weather plug in if you need it or want to use it. Only been in the shop once about a year after I bought it for new u-joints probably around the 30k mark (which was a weird time for u-joint failure, which perplexed us, but they've been fine since). This truck has tremendous pulling power; had no problems through the Rocky mountains with a loaded 26' foot trailer on it. The performance of the Allison transmission spoils you for any other transmission especially how it saves your brakes. Transmission on this truck has always worked like a dream and made a lifelong fan of me for the Allison and probably the biggest thing I'll miss on this truck.
Left rear fender damage did not occur from an accident but from jack-knifing a flat bed trailer into it and the the speckling on the front of the fenders is from living on 4 miles of gravel road. (see photo details)
I have no idea if it is an LS or an LT as there are no markings to that effect, but I believe it is an LT since it is all leather and everything electric with the push-button 4WD. Single CD player. AC blows cold, but is manually controlled (not digital) and not separate on the driver/passenger sides. Other than that, I think it has all options. Even has the fog lights.  Front center console does not change into a bench seat, so captain seats in front. Leather all in good shape as front seats have always had seat covers on them. (interior photos are dusty due to living on a gravel road, but it will be cleaned if sold)

The ONLY trade I would consider would be for an EVEN trade on a K2500 Silverado or Sierra (Chevrolet/GMC). Since I would be trading a one-ton Duramax for a 3/4 ton gas, the 2500 would have to be newer (2002-2007 range) and lower miles (40k-70k). Must be gas, Must be an HD so it has the tow package, Must be a 4WD, Must be a long bed. Must have cruise. Must be an automatic. Must be a crew cab or will consider an extend cab if the right truck. No regular cabs. I will consider a basic W/T as long as it has cruise. Don't care if the 4WD is on the floor. Can be cloth and have a base interior package. Prefer a spray-in bedliner. Truck must be clean, run great, no accidents (clean carfax) and no rust. Of course, a gas 2500 equipped with an Allison would be given preference over any other trades, but I know they're pretty rare :)

Mileage may be slightly higher as I do use it about once a month for small local trips.
Payment of balance after deposit is by Bank Wire Transfer ONLY
Title free and clear.
Truck is available locally so listing may be cancelled at any time.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

Recharge Wrap-Up: LAPD gets Zero MMX, Chevy's new inverter, Hyundai Tucson's new powertrains

Wed, Jul 16 2014

Some police in Los Angeles will be riding Zero MMX electric motorcycles on duty. The LAPD is adding the fully electric police/military all-terrain bikes to its patrol fleet. According to Officer Steve Carbajal of the department's off-road unit, "It costs less than 50 cents to charge compared to using gallons of gas, maintenance is simple, and the community appreciates how quiet they are." The electric bikes, with their lack of noise and a headlight the rider can turn off, also have the benefit of stealth, giving the officers what Carbajal calls "an added tactical advantage." The MMX also has swappable batteries, is designed for quick ignition and has power reserve capabilities so the rider won't be caught with a dead battery while chasing down a perp. Read more at Ride Apart. Remember when it seemed like we'd never run out of oil, and giving your buddy five bucks for gas was actually a worthwhile gesture? Drivers of classic cars in Detroit were able to fill up their tanks at gas prices corresponding to their model year, thanks to a promotion by Hagerty Insurance for National Collector Car Appreciation Day on July 11. That meant prices from 21 to 90 cents a gallon, as the cars that showed up ranged from the years 1929 to 1989. That's about as affordable as charging your EV. Head over to Autoweek for more details and some photos from the event. The next-generation Chevrolet Volt will likely benefit from a new inverter being developed by General Motors. GM is about two-thirds of the way through the development of the new inverter, which should be ready in January 2016. The inverter, which has a peak output of 55 kilowatts a continuous output of 33 kilowatts, will be adaptable for use in other GM vehicles. Chevrolet is working to reduce the Volt's production costs by $10,000 per vehicle, which should make it more affordable, and the new inverter could help reach that goal should it make its way into the car. Read more at Green Car Reports. Hyundai is likely planning some interesting powertrain changes for the 2016 Tucson, says Green Car Reports. Plug-in hybrid? Maybe. Diesel? Probably not. "We are covering the waterfront on all alternative fuel strategies, from standard hybrid, to plug-in, battery-electric, and fuel cell," says Hyundai's US Chief Dave Zuchowski.

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?

Mon, Feb 27 2017

We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
