I am selling my 2006 GMC 2500 HD Crew Cab Turbo Diesel Sport Side/Step Side "Duramax SS".  I purchased this truck new and have the original window sticker and all of the service records for everything that was ever done to it.  It is not a factory Sport Side/Step Side "Duramax SS".  I had the Sport Side/Step Side added when I damaged one side of the original Wide Side bed.  Instead of having it repaired I had the Sport Side/Step Side bed installed.  It may be the only GMC 2500 HD Crew Cab Sport Side/Step Side anywhere in the USA.  I then added the Juice with Attitude Programmer, 20" chrome rims and tires, 5" exhaust, 3" lift kit, Rhino Liner, Top Hat Tri-Fold Bed Cover, step side running boards, fender flares, roof rack, undercoat and rust proof.  These accessories add up to about $4000.

I am the original owner of the truck and I originally purchase the truck to haul my three horse trailer to deliver imported horses from the New York USDA Quarantine to our Indiana Quarantine.  However, I was only able to make about a half dozen trips before the economy crashed.  The importing of horses slowed down so much that there was no more hauling available for me to do.  Therefore, the majority of the miles on the truck are simply from my driving back and forth to work from our country home.  We made several long trips delivering the Friesian horse foals that we raised on our farm to their new owners all over the midwest, all light towing. 

Over the course of the time that I have owned the truck I have added all of the after market items that you see listed.  I have included an NADA printout with the current market value of the truck and the value of the added accessories.  The current Clean Retail price with all of the accessories added is $27,150.  The Clean Trade-In price is about $22,875.  I am asking less than the Clean Trade-In price.  I am selling the truck for $19,995. 

The truck has never been abused.  I have only used the highest "HOT" setting on the Juice with Attitude about 4 or 5 times.  I tested it for it's 0-60 mph capability after I put the new Nitto Terra Grappler tires on it and it went 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds.   I mainly use the Juice with Attitude for its reading of engine codes.  It reads the engine codes every time you start the truck.  It also allows you to clear the engine codes if they are not critical. 

I purchased the Juice with Attitude for the improved gas mileage.  I am getting approximately 15 mpg going to work and back.  I get about 19 to 20 mpg on the highway, depending upon how fast I go.  If I drive the Toll Road at about 70 mph I only get about 18 mpg.  If I drive the state highways at about 55 or 60 mph I can get the 20 mpg.  

I installed a new front drivers side bottom leather seat cover because the original leather seat cover had cracked and ripped.  The new cover looks amazing. 

As I mentioned above I have all of the repair records and there has never been any major work required to be done to the truck at all.  The truck has never had any major problems at all.  Most of the service calls were simply to replace glow plugs when the Juice with Attitude indicated that they were bad.  The number 5 glow plug broke when it was being removed so the new one was installed outside the engine and is attached to the exhaust shroud where it will not affect anything when it glows.  The truck almost does not need any glow plugs since it takes less than 3 seconds to heat up the glow plugs and start the engine in cold weather.  It almost does not even need to use the glow plugs at all when it is warm outside.   The tires have always been rotated every 7500 miles and I got 65,000 on the last set of Nitto Dune Grapplers.  The current tires, Nitto Terra Grapplers, only have about 5,000 miles on them and look like new.  The oil, oil filter and fuel filter have always been changed when the computer showed that it was needed.   It has had new tie rod ends and idler arms installed.   

The truck runs and drives excellently.  This is the most comfortable truck I have ever ridden in and a real pleasure to drive.  Except for the few minor imperfections I have mentioned above the truck is almost perfect.  It is a real eye catcher.  I cannot tell you how many times someone stops me on the street to tell me how "SWEET" this truck is.  You will not see yourself coming and going.  I see hundreds or thousands of wide side 2500 HD Crew Cabs but I have only seen one Sport Side/Step Side 2500 HD Crew Cab.  I cannot even find another one on the internet.  This truck is unique and rare.  It is worth the little extra cost. 

The truck is sold as is where is.  Buyer is responsible for shipping. 

The truck is being advertised for sale locally also so if it sells locally this listing with e-bay may be ended early.  Don't let it get away.  There is only one like it.

2014 GMC Sierra 4.3L V6 to offer segment-best 305 LB-FT

Mon, 06 May 2013

General Motors has released more information on the 4.3-liter V6 available in the 2014 GMC Sierra. The engine will serve up 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, with a six-speed automatic transmission, and giving the V6 Sierra a maximum tow rating of 7,200 pounds in regular cab, short bed four-wheel drive configuration. GM claims that figure is 500 pounds more than the equivalent Ford F-150 equipped with a 3.7-liter V6, and 700 pounds more than the Ram 1500 with its 3.6-liter V6. Buyers can expect to see the 2014 GMC Sierra with the 4.3-liter engine start at $25,085 including destination.
While the engine does deliver more torque than either of its main competitors, it falls short on the horsepower front. The 3.7-liter V6 in the F-150 develops 302 hp while the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500 yields 305 hp. GM says fuel economy estimates for its newest entry will land later this year. Check out the full press release below for more information.

A spotter's guide to Super Bowl LIV car commercials

Fri, Jan 31 2020

Set to kick off on Fox at 6:30 ET on Sunday, February 2, from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, the big game will feature the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Throughout Super Bowl LIV, viewers will see about 50 commercials, each of which costs as much as $5.6 million per 30 seconds, according to AdWeek. Originally, there were more than 77 ad slots, so several companies could be paying well more than $10 million for a single, longer commercial. Numerous car companies have already announced their commercials, or their intentions to show commercials, during the game. Here's a roundup of the ones we know about so far. During the game on Sunday, we'll be livestreaming and adding links to the new commercials as they become available, so check back with us for that post.  Audi: E-Tron Sportback Maisie Williams has experience wearing many faces, and in Audi's Super Bowl commercial, she does her best Elsa impression. In the spot, titled "Let It Go," Williams faces the rigorous task of getting through L.A. traffic, but she's alleviated by the comfort of the Audi E-Tron Sportback electric crossover. The commercial is meant to signal the company leaving its gas past behind and moving forward to a sustainable future.  Genesis: GV80 Genesis makes its Super Bowl debut with a commercial that will show its all-new SUV, the GV80, to viewers around the world (many of which will be seeing the vehicle for the first time). The ad features Chrissy Teigen and John Legend as the purveyors of "new luxury," while "old luxury" is left for the birds. GMC: Hummer General Motors is bringing back the Hummer nameplate as a premium electric GMC truck. GM says it will have 1,000 horsepower and will be capable of going zero to 60 mph in three seconds. GM brought in NBA legend and Hummer fanboy LeBron James for the debut commercial. Hyundai: Sonata Hyundai is known for bringing in the big-time celebrities for its commercials, and 2020 is no different. A new advertisement called "Smaht Pahk" features John Krasinski, Chris Evans, and Rachel Dratch, all three of whom are from the Boston area. The trio gets into full character as they discuss the new high-tech parking feature on the redesigned 2020 Hyundai Sonata, and David Ortiz makes a cameo at the end. Even when New England isn't in the Super Bowl, New England is in the Super Bowl.

GM can't keep up with most popular pickup orders

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

With the market for pickup trucks at its best since before the recession, General Motors can't afford any hiccups with the launch of its new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, but it sounds like the popularity of V8-powered trucks is causing some supply-chain issues. Bloomberg reports that GM is experiencing a shortage of 5.3-liter V8 engines because an unnamed parts supplier has been unable to keep up with demand. This is leading GM to restrict the number of V8 Silverado and Sierra trucks that Chevrolet and GMC dealers are allowed to order.
Although it's unclear how long it will take to resolve the parts shortage, GM doesn't have much time to sort it out, as a new Ford F-150 looms on the horizon. At launch, GM's fullsize trucks were offered only with a base 4.3-liter V6 and the 5.3-liter V8, but a burlier 6.2-liter V8 will be available soon. Interestingly, at least at the moment, GM truck buyers don't seem as willing to downsize to V6 power as buyers of the F-150, which gets some 42-percent of its sales from trucks equipped with its EcoBoost V6 engine (not including the normally aspirated base V6).
Working out the kinks in the Silverado and Sierra's supply chain couldn't be more important to the health of the company. Full-size pickups are a huge profit driver - in 2012, the trucks were said to make up about two-third of GM's total profits.
