Silverado 3500, Duramax, 6 Speed Zf, 5th Wheel Hitch on 2040-cars
United States
|
A well used truck which we have used to tow our 5th wheel around on our holiday in the US for the last 5 months.
Alas our VISA's are about to run and it is time to go home and the truck MUST be sold. The truck has had it's injectors replaced sometime before I got it. I have fitted a rebuilt injector pump shortly after buying this truck 5 months ago. As I have fitted this myself, I do not have receipts for this work. The engine has a little shake at idle but pulls strong and has no problems pulling our 15000 pound 5th wheeler. The engine doesn't smoke, doesn't use oil or water and keeps cool even pulling our 5th wheel up long hills. In the last 5 weeks I have had to replace the transfer case (replaced with a GM rebuilt unit) and fitted a new standard clutch (complete clutch kit including flywheel reface). I have receipts for this work totaling around $3500.00 Receipts will be supplied for this work done. I have also had a new Reese 16K 5th wheel hitch installed shortly after purchasing this truck. There are minor cosmetic scratches in the body which have been painted white and are hard to spot from a couple of feet away. There is some wear and tear in the interior as could be expected of a truck of this age and mileage but no rips in the seat. Some of the plastic trim around the tray edge and on the back bumper is loose in places. The fuel gauge doesn't always work (I use the trip meter to estimate the fuel left in the tank), one of the wheel studs on the front is broken. A tie rod end / ball joint will need to be replaced soon in the steering linkage. Discs could do with resurfacing. There are two little areas of rust under the back doors, worst one is shown in the pictures. The parking brake doesn't work. However, this is subject to a factory recall. Work was started on this but the GM dealership did not receive the required parts in time to finish the job. As we are travelling and needed to move on, I had to pull the truck out of the dealership before they could complete the work. I can supply the contact names and phone numbers for the dealership which started the work. But taking this truck into any GM dealership and having them run the VIN number should show that the recall is still outstanding and the work should be done free of charge. So truck needs a little work (and it is all minor really) but is priced accordingly. As this truck must be sold, all offers will be considered. |

Two More Recalls Push GM Total To 4.8 Million In A Month
Mon, Mar 31 2014General Motors announced two more recalls late Friday, bringing to 4.8 million the number of cars, trucks and SUVs the automaker has called back for repairs in the past month. The string of recalls, topped by an ignition switch problem in compact cars now linked to 13 crash deaths, has embarrassed the company and sidetracked its new CEO, who started work just over two months ago. GM has admitted knowing about the switch problem a decade ago, yet it didn't recall any cars until February. The recall delay has brought two congressional investigations and probes by the Justice Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Late Friday night, GM announced it would recall 490,000 late-model pickup trucks and SUVs because transmission oil cooling lines weren't secured properly in their fittings. Transmission oil can leak from a fitting and hit hot surfaces, causing fires, the company said in a statement. GM said it knows of three fires and no injuries. The recall affects Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks from the 2014 model year, as well as 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs. All have six-speed automatic transmissions. The Silverado is GM's top-selling vehicle and an important profit center for the company. The GMC Sierra also is among GM's top sellers. Dealers will inspect the transmission oil cooling line fittings and make sure they're securely seated, at no cost to owners. Also Friday night, GM announced the recall of 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars because the right front axle shaft can fracture and separate while being driven. The recall affects cars from the 2013 and 2014 model years equipped with 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines. If a shaft fractures, the wheels would lose power without warning and the cars would coast to a stop. GM says it has warranty reports of several dozen shaft fractures. It is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Dealers will replace the shafts free of charge. The recall allows dealers to resume selling affected Cruzes. GM issued a stop sale order on the cars Thursday night. The recall also covers about 2,500 replacement shafts used to fix manual transmission Cruzes that were recalled last September. In all, GM has recalled 4.8 million vehicles since last month, two million more than the company sold last year in the U.S.
Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years
Wed, Jun 25 2014A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
