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 I 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 and roof rack.
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 $22,500.
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.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.
Son surprises his dad by restoring his 1949 pickup for Christmas
Mon, Jan 5 2015Norman Meal, an 83-year-old retired farmer from Rushville, IN, nearly missed his big Christmas gift when his son, Kyle, first presented it to him. Norman was oblivious and was looking all over the garage floor until Kyle pointed out a satin black pickup with a bow on it parked inside. This wasn't just another case of a child buying a parent a dream vehicle; the '49 GMC sitting there was Norman's very first truck that was restored and ready to drive. According to Fox 59 WXIN, Norman's father purchased the GMC in 1949, and Norman bought it from him in the mid '50s to use on the farm. However, for about the past 13 years, the truck had been rotting away in the garage of one of Kyle's friends. As a perfect gift to his dad, Kyle took the pickup to a restoration shop to make the old vehicle roadworthy again. Practically everything was replaced – except for the horn. Thankfully, Kyle filmed his dad's reaction to getting the GMC. Check it out and watch them take a drive in the heartwarming video above.
Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid
Fri, Aug 28 2015Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
