This hard to find beauty has the 6.5 Litre GM Turbo Diesel.  If you know these trucks, you know that they are rare, and don’t come up for sale often, especially in great, rust-free condition like this one.  Here are the details:

 

  •         1996 K1500 Tahoe LS
  •         Mileage: 186,982.  
  •         6.5 Turbo Diesel engine with recent fuel injection pump.  Starts and runs beautifully.
  • 1996 Diesel means no smog is needed - ever.
  • 2nd Owner - bought in 2005.
  •         Stock dual batteries and new alternator.
  •         4 speed automatic overdrive transmission, 4 wheel drive.  Running great – no issues.
  •         Tow package with hitch and trailer wiring.
  •         Stock wheels with Toyo Open Country tires, 265/75R16.
  •         White paint and body are in good shape.  Some small touch-up areas around window, bumper.
  •         Blue/Gray cloth interior.  Great shape.  All factory gauges work.
  •         15 gallon 2nd tank setup for running on vegetable oil, including heated filter system.  Currently not hooked up.
  •         Power locks & windows.
  • Last 2 pics are of the hot-water-jacketed vegetable oil filter, and the 3 gauge pillar pod with aux fuel level, aux fuel temp, and aux fuel vacuum (high vacuum means filter needs changing soon), which are not currently hooked up.

 

Issues:

·       Passenger inside door handle broken. Door opens fine from outside. See pic.

·       Hood release plastic handle broken. Hood still opens. See pic.

·       Bumpers have a few small dents.  See pics.

·       There are a few touch up spots on the paint and some small areas of touched up surface rust.  NO structural rust. See pics.

·       Had issues with vegetable oil kit supplying enough fuel to run the big 6.5 Litre diesel engine when accelerating hard, like up a big hill or to merge on freeway, so the auxiliary fuel system is currently disconnected. Needs a bigger fuel pump and maybe larger diameter fuel lines to flow enough vegetable oil under load.

I I have not been driving it since I got a VW TDI wagon, and the registration is expired.  Went to the DMV to find out the cost of reregistering it:  

$900  back registration and late fees.

$500  parking tickets!  DMV source says that new owner isn't liable for tickets, but I'm including it here in case that's wrong.

---------------------

$1400 total.

Obviously, the purchaser should take into account that some, if not all, of these DMV fees will have to be paid by them. 


Car is located in Oakland, CA (SF Bay Area).  If you are local and would like to come see it in person, let me know.  I think I have covered everything here, but if you have any questions, feel free to contact me through eBay, email or phone.  Please don’t ask if I’ll end auction early, take a lowball offer, etc.

2019 GMC Sierra revealed with CarbonPro bed and new diesel engine

Thu, Mar 1 2018

It's only March, and it's already been one hell of a year for trucks. January's Detroit Auto Show saw the reveals of the 2019 Ram 1500, 2019 Ford Ranger and the 2019 Chevy Silverado. The Chicago Auto Show brought new versions of the Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Today, we finally got our first look at the Silverado's twin, the 2019 GMC Sierra. The truck features new styling, a new diesel engine and — on the Sierra Denali — a carbon fiber bed. As with every new full-size truck, the Sierra is larger than the outgoing model in almost every dimension, though exact dimensions haven't been revealed. For reference, though, the Chevy Silverado's bed is 7-inches wider than before. The new Sierra grille is more upright than before and features new C-shaped lighting. The Denali gets LED headlights, tail lights and fog lights. Both SLT and Denali trims get unique 22-inch wheels. As we saw in spy photos, the Sierra's interior is mostly just a copy of the Silverado's with some chrome accents sprinkled throughout. If you like the current truck interiors, you'll be pleased with the new model. Those hoping for a wholesale change will be left wanting. The big improvements inside include a full-color heads-up display, trailer hitch assist apps and cameras, and the rear-camera mirror found in models like the Chevy Traverse and Cadillac CT6. Safety and convenience features include a surround-view camera, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian detection and low-speed automatic braking. Like the Silverado, there's been a significant effort to cut weight in the new Sierra. The 2019 model loses as much as 360 pounds compared to the current truck. It uses aluminum for the doors, hood and tailgate. Steel is still used for the fenders, roof and standard cargo box. The Denali, however, gets the real surprise here. Available only on the top-tier trim, the bed box will be constructed of carbon fiber rather than steel, saving 62 pounds. Carbon fiber only replaces the steel inner panels and floor. GMC says the carbon fiber will also help scratch and corrosion resistance. SLT and Denali models also get a new MultiPro tailgate. This is unique to the Sierra and separate from the Silverado's power assist unit. A new feature that helps one get into and out of the bed using an assist handle. The tailgate step has a maximum weight capacity of 375 pounds. There multiple positions that allow customers to extend the bed, or drop the center vertically to gain easier access to the back.

2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
