Original 1 ton GMC Sierra pickup truck.  I have owned this truck for 20 years.  I bought the truck in 1994 off of a dealer in Fox Lake Illinois. The truck had around 80,000 miles on it when I bought it.  I mainly drove this truck when I was in High School.  At the time I was not looking for a truck with a lift, but it was already on it when I bought it.  The truck has a 4 inch lift so it is not excessive and looks good.  I have always kept this truck shedded since I have owned it.  It currently sits in the pole barn covered up.  The mice have not been in it.  I start it up about once every three months to keep mechanical parts working, motor lubed ect.  I am selling the truck because I need to reduce my fleet of vehicles.  I also do not want to keep paying insurance on it since I do not drive it.            

I have spent a lot of money on this truck over the years, way more than what it is worth to keep it original.  I have replaced the radiator.  Right after I bought it from the dealer it had a small leak so I changed the whole radiator.  The doors, bed sides, tail gait are new.  The lights on the tailgate are original with the 1 ton package at the time.  It has been painted back to original midnight Black, factory color.  The body man put extra clear coat on for extreme protection .  Several years back the dash started cracking so I replaced it with a new one.  The headliner has been replaced and is still good shape, this was a common problems with these older trucks.  The seat is in good shape, I always had a seat cover on it to keep it nice.  I fixed the steering column because it got loose along with the ignition switch.  It has tilt wheel.  The windshield wiper control lever is new.  All the gauges work.  The transfer case was rebuilt by a local 4x4 shop.  When they rebuilt this they went ahead and put in a new clutch, throw out bearing, new u joints, seals, ect .  The brakes are like new.  The tires have less than 5000 miles on them, so they are in good shape.  It has a 4 speed transmission with 4:10 gear ratio Dana 70 rear end. The power windows work.   

The engine runs good, no major leaks.  The engine has been completely rebuilt over the years.  The block was shipped off to St. Louis to be fixed back in 1995.  I had the heads magnafluxed, welded and resurfaced by Mac Weld in Carbondale IL.  It has hydraulic lifters on the heads.  Everything was always put back original down to the wiring, no half jobs.  I put new head bolts on the heads when they were installed back.  The glow plugs work good, they have been changed over the years.  When I had the body work done, I changed one fuel tank out, so one is newer than the other.  No leaks on the tanks.  The motor has its usual blow by.  The motor is around 370 Cubic inch displacement detroit engine, not the converted 5.9.  The batteries are in good shape.  It has two batteries purchased september 2011.

I never smoked in this truck.  I never mudded this truck. I did my best to keep the truck original. Some extras I added to it over the years was a bug shield, full set of running boards, visor and bed caps.  Sliding window was factory original.  I like the looks of the old GM trucks and really would miss the truck. Any other questions you can call me at 618-771-2363.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power

Tue, Sep 5 2017

The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.

GMC could have used Jeep's prized grille design on its born-again Hummer

Fri, Jan 31 2020

General Motors confirmed it's bringing the Hummer nameplate back on an electric, GMC-badged pickup by publishing a dark photo of its front end. The battery-powered drivetrain under the sheetmetal represents a tectonic shift, but we noticed another flagrant break with tradition: it wears six slot-like inserts instead of seven like on every previous Hummer and countless Jeeps. Adding an extra slot wouldn't have landed GMC in hot water. The seven-slot grille has historically been associated with Jeep, and the company proved it's willing to go to significant lengths to ensure another automaker — especially one it perceives as a rival — doesn't use it. Parent company Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) bitterly sued Mahindra over the Roxor's design, including its five-slot grille, and won in 2019, forcing the Indian firm to unveil a redesigned side-by-side for the 2020 model year. And yet, stylists would have very likely been able to get away with it on the Hummer. While General Motors owns Hummer, the brand traces its ancestry to 1970, when American Motors Corporation (AMC) purchased Jeep from Kaiser and changed the name of its General Products Division to AM General Corp. The division manufactured the rear-wheel drive, CJ-based DJ for the United States Postal Service and began developing the Humvee in 1979. Jeep and AM General went their separate ways when Renault began investing in AMC. Foreign companies weren't allowed to own defense contractors, and AMC had more to gain by gradually selling out to Renault than by keeping AM General, so it divested the division to LTV Corporation in 1983. Humvee production started shortly after, but no one protested its seven-slot grille because there was no risk of it stealing sales from a comparable Jeep model. It was manufactured exclusively for the U.S. Army, and civilian sales weren't planned. H2SUV View 4 Photos The original civilian Hummer released in 1992 must have raised more than a few eyebrows but, here again, it didn't directly compete with one of Jeep's off-roaders, so no one complained. It was huge, correspondingly expensive, and its portal axles made the YJ-generation Wrangler wet its pants. It's the H2 concept (pictured above) unveiled at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show that set off alarm bells in Auburn Hills. DaimlerChrysler's lawyers counted the slots in the chrome-plated insert that dominated its front end and shuddered when they reached seven.
