Very nice GMC Jimmy Sierra Grande 4x4.  I purchased this Jimmy from the second owner for the purpose of giving to my daugther who thought she wanted a big truck.  Spent tons of money getting everything to work.  The truck is from arid Western Washington and is as rust free as these trucks get.  Has tiny amount of rust in the rocker panels.  Underneath and body panels are solid. 

This is a true, no reserve auction.  Not a BS auction from many dealers on eBay who have fake bidders.  This vehicle will sell.  I will let the marketplace determine what it should go for.

Has a factory, original 350 motor (not the weaker 305 that many CA cars have.)  Here is a list of the work that was recently done to this K5 Jimmy:
  • All new interior, which includes carpet, headliner, dash, and panels.  The seats are in amazing original condition.
  • New A/C compressor (blows cold).
  • Brand new dual exhaust.
  • New plugs and wires with recent tune up.
  • $1600 worth of BRAND NEW wheels and tires.  (Tires have 10 miles on them.)
  • Rear Diff and transfer case service.
  • New manual hub lockers.
  • New Alpine CD w/Kicker speakers and front jack for iPhone
Other hightlights:
  • All gauges work.
  • Interior dome lights work.
  • Original rust-free body panels
  • Heater blows hot; updated AC blows cold.
  • Tons of low-end torque for off roading.
  • Turn signals and tail lights work.
  • Trailer tow package.
  • All original factory glass.  Rear tail gate glass rolls up and down smoothly.
  • Removable fiberclass top.
  • Factory tire jack.  (Usually missing)
Minor issues:
  • Motor has a lifter noise which quiets down after warming up.  Doesn't affect performance.  Just drove to Utah and SoCal and back to Vegas.
  • Leaks oil around the pan as many of these trucks do
  • There is a crack on the rear tail gate. Tail gate raises and lowers fine.  
  • Has original paint that is beginning to fade on the front fenders.
  • Some of the aluminum body molding have dents and dings.
Overall, this is a great truck for the weekend warrior, a teenager's first truck or to take camping.  I bought it for my teenager daughter, dumped a bunch of money into it only to learn it's just too big for her.   Lots of money spent making it safe and reliable.

I have bought and sold over 20 cars on ebay and as you will see from my feedback, I have 100% feedback since 1999. I am happy to answer questions or arrange inspections. Vehicle is located in Las Vegas area.  Fly in and drive home.  Call or text with questions.  949-274-5885.

GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]

Mon, Oct 19 2015

UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.
