1989 GMC Sierra SL 2500 - 2WD

Up for sale is my trusted GMC Sierra pickup truck.  NO RESERVE.  I bought the truck as a work/beater truck for household/yard jobs but it turns out I seldom drive it so here it is for sale.  The previous owner had this truck in a fleet as evidenced by the dirt embedded into the interior despite my best efforts to remove it.  The mileage is uknown (which is why the listing showns 999,999).  The odometer has never turned since I purchased the truck in 2010. The engine runs strong and has been trouble free since I purchased it.   If you are looking for a basic and inexpensive work truck that you don't need to worry about putting to work and scraping it up, this one fits the bill!

 

Features:

5.7L V8

2WD - Two Wheel Drive

3 speed automatic

8 foot box

This truck is relatively unique in that it has very few options. It is not equipped with a/c - hence the blank out plates on the vents on the dash.  Instead the truck has pull-stops to open fresh-air vents below the dash. 

Radio with cassette player (non-functioning - I don't know why)

bedliner

 

The Good:

Runs great

Starts the first time, every time

Solid exhaust system (see photos)

Tires still have a lot of tread depth on them

 

The Bad:

The mileage of the truck is unknown.  It reads a bit over 112,000 miles, but it was reading this when I bought the truck in the summer of 2010 and the reading has never changed. 

Transmission leaks a little bit of fluid - I assume it needs a new gasket but I have never attempted to replace/repair it. 

Rust (see photos)

Passenger seat-belt doesn't tension properly (latches but is not fully taught)

Radio and cassette player do not work (turns on, but no sound)

Dome light doesn't work - may just need a new bulb

Tears in the seat cushion

Fading amateur paint job

Spare tire and jack are both missing

Check engine light comes on occasionally, but doesn't stay on and doesn't seem to run any differently when the light comes on.

 

Please contact me if you are interested in coming to check the truck out.  The truck is no longer currently registered as I just transferred plates to another vehicle so test drives will have to be limited to the side-streets in my neighborhood. 

 

Here is the not-so-fine print: 

Vehicle is sold 'AS IS' with no warranty. 

Vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of end of auction. 

$100 deposit required within 48 hours of close of auction. 

Any bidders with a feedback rating of less than 5 will be cancelled.

2018 GMC Sierra Denali can help you tow without breaking a sweat

Wed, Jun 6 2018

Towing a trailer once meant that only those who possessed certain knowledge would be able to go fishing, tow a race car or pull a camper safely. For me, it took four long years of practice working a job behind the wheel of a jacked-up Ford F-250, hauling tons upon tons of mowing equipment for my local parks department, to become proficient. Just how far things have come since then became evident after a recent trip to Utah with GMC, in which we used the half-ton Sierra Denali to tow a set of Polaris side-by-sides through the state. Modern safety technology and a suite of electronic aids make towing simple enough that anyone with a driver's license and something to haul can do it. This revelation came behind the leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel of GMC's outgoing 2018 Sierra Denali. Sitting in the plush, heated and cooled captain's chair, I could barely feel the 6,000 pounds I was towing behind me. Even GMC's smallest full-size truck engine, a 5.3-liter V8 generating 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, felt like overkill for what used to amount to a heavy load. With Utah's pristine landscape, the plush confines of the cabin and the uneventful nature of modern towing, mile after mile just streamed by at highway speeds without incident (or excitement). When we finally reached our destination a few hours later, one of GMC's representatives who had chosen to sit in the rear of the cab asked me what I thought about the drive. I pondered for a few minutes and answered with this: "Modern pickup trucks have removed nearly every skill-based variable once associated with towing. I could drive this truck and trailer confidently with just one finger." Consider the near overabundance of towing-assistance systems in the GMC Sierra Denali that I piloted through Utah. Let's start with the most basic of towing skills — something that's now been relegated to the annals of history: reversing a pickup to meet the trailer's hitch. Once upon a time, this required knowing a truck's dimensions and understanding proximity, as well as having a keen eye, a steady foot for both the gas and the brake and the patience to get it right. Now, though, pickups such as the Sierra Denali offer customers a trailer reverse camera system that helps the driver align truck to hitch with pinpoint accuracy.

Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V6 nets 18 mpg city, 24 highway

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

There is no doubting that fuel economy has become an important factor in the highly competitive fullsize truck market, with the Ford F-150 EcoBoost V6 and Pentastar V6-powered Ram 1500 setting quite a precedent in recent years. Now it's General Motors' turn. The General has just announced that the new base V6 used in the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 models will return an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway in two-wheel drive trim, regardless of cab configuration.
While these figures don't go so far as to earn GM any "best-in-class" fuel economy claims (thanks to the 25-mpg Ram 1500 HFE), this new 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 does edge the F-150 and Toyota Tundra while boasting best-in-class numbers for torque, payload and towing capacity among six-cylinder rivals. This all-new engine produces 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, and it gives the 2014 Silverado and Sierra the highest towing rating among standard V6 models with a 7,200-pound towing capacity - besting the Ram by 700 pounds, the base F-150 by 1,100 pounds and coming within 200 pounds of the V8-powered Nissan Titan. Scroll down for the official press releases from Chevrolet and GMC.

GM recalling Silverado and Sierra HD diesel pickups over fuel gauge follies

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

General Motors is recalling 9,733 of its heavy-duty twins over concerns with their 6.6-liter diesel engines and dual fuel tanks. The recall covers some Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from model years 2012 and 2013, although the exact dates that the recalled trucks were built isn't specified. There's also no mention of how many models come from Chevrolet and how many are from GMC.
The problem rests with the transfer pump responsible for moving fuel from the rear tank to the front tank - it could fail, resulting in an inaccurate fuel gauge. It hardly requires explaining, but a faulty fuel gauge could leave drivers in a situation where they run out of diesel.
GM will begin notifying customers of affected vehicles, who will be asked to report to their dealers for a free replacement transfer pump.
