1999 Gmc Suburban 6.5 Diesel K2500 Slt 4x4 Low Miles Spectacular Condition on 2040-cars
Beaverton, Oregon, United States

Spectacular condition, extremely low mileage, last model year of the Diesel Suburban. High Resolution Photos and Videos: http://smu.gs/1l9I8dt If you don't know about the elusive GMC Diesel Suburban, here's a primer: Don't you wish you could have the perfect combination of huge cargo and people capacity, comfortable, massive torque, powerful freeway cruising, and good fuel economy? This is exclusively available in a Diesel Suburban. Only problem? Good luck finding one. Well, here's perhaps the cleanest, lowest-mileage diesel Suburban available anywhere. Seat 8 adults comfortably? Check. Room for lots of luggage? Check. Ability to tow 9000 pounds? Check. 525 ft-lbs of torque? Check. Up to 17 MPG Freeway? Check. Reliable and durable? Check. On sale is an awesome combination of and extremely rare vehicle (diesel engine + Suburban) but very commonly available parts, accessories and service availability. Here's why: Super unusual combination. Less than 1% of all Suburbans had the 6.5 diesel option. GMC made over 1.2Million 6.5 diesel engines, putting them in everything from Hummers to pickups and buses. In fact, they are still being used extensively in applications from power boats to trucks. Therefore, the drivetrain is really common, and this can be serviced at any GM/Chevy dealer. (although I commonly hear the refrain "Wow. I didn't know GM made Suburbans with a diesel!" GM also made hundreds of thousands of the Suburban models. However, they made extremely few of the 6.5 Diesel + Suburban Combo. These had to be custom ordered from the factory with the optional engine, which was a $6000 option that very few people ordered. This is the last year that GM ever made a diesel Suburban. Initially, the 6.5 diesel was not well-understood by the dealerships, and there were some teething problems (just Google 6.5 diesel PMD) that over-the-years have been completely solved, resulting in a rugged and reliable engine with excellent performance. Don't believe me? Check out popular owner forums like TheTruckStop.us and DieselPlace.com, where owners rave about the performance, longevity, and durability of this drivetrain. It has been absolutely flawless for our family, and we've owned it for many years! I have owned this rig for 10 years, and it has very low miles, 124,500. It has mostly been used for family road trips. WIth the SLT option package, it is fully equipped with every option available that year. Full leather (in excellent condition, even the front seats!), heated seats, rear air and heat, self-dimming mirrors, push-button 4x4 (works perfectly). Everything on the vehicle is in perfect running order. 3/4 ton model. Set up with trailer hitch and full RV wiring. (I was planning to buy an RV but we never did. I've never towed anything heavier than a 500 lb garden trailer with it). It has never been off-road. So here it is: This is unique in that not only is it super-rare, but it is a perfect vehicle from an ease-of-repair and maintenance. Suburbans are common. 6.5 diesel engines are common. 4L80 transmission are common. Therefore I've never had any trouble getting excellent parts and service on this vehicle. In fact, many vendors have websites exclusively dedicated to this drivetrain! (See places like LeroyDiesel.com, HeathDiesel.com, and others) It has superior fuel economy, getting up to 17+ MPG on the freeway. Try that with a similar vintage 454 gasser. Not happening. It has approximately 195HP and 525 ft-lb of torque. 195 hp (145 kW) @ 3,400 rpm / 525 lb·ft (712 N·m) @ 1,800 rpm (turbocharged) The rig is almost completely stock, but I have added items that increase safety and reliability: * Hellwig sway bars front and rear dramatically improve handling on-road. * Flowmaster Downpipe (improves exhaust flow) * New remote Fuel-Solenoid-Driver (FSD) with custom cable harness and FSD cooler mounted under front bumper. (Eliminates a common problem on this engine) * PowerSlot Brake Rotors (Improved braking) * Lund front shade (I put in all stainless hardware) * Lund front and rear air deflectors This is a perfect vehicle for someone looking for a safe, reliable, rugged SUV with really large cargo and people capacity and very reasonable fuel economy to boot. I am only selling it because my kids are off to college and we aren't taking road trips like we used to. * I have kept it waxed and in a heated garage the whole time I have owned it. The paint is is very good condition, and to my knowledge it is original. Upholstery and leather are in excellent condition. See the photos. * There are no leaks on the vehicle. * It does not require any reconditioning. * No rust on the vehicle. * Everything works. * Condition of leather is really remarkably excellent. * Wheels are like-new * The previous owner told me that CarFax shows an accident, but when he investigated it, it wasn't an accident but a breakdown... he told me that the vehicle lost a coolant line on the automatic transmission while on the road and this caused the vehicle to lose all it's transmission fluid, causing the vehicle to breakdown on the road, but that the report shows it as 'an accident', since they didn't have any way to indicate a single-car breakdown. This is all the information I have. When I checked with the GMC dealer, they ran a VIN report which showed that the factory had indeed authorized a new replacement transmission during that timeframe, so this seems to correlate what I had been told. * Nothing has been removed or disabled * Non-smoker owned. No pets. * Never been off-road to my knowledge. * Never been used to tow anything heavier than a small garden trailer. |

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV
Sun, Oct 12 2014We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
