So, due to blowing my back out, I can no longer get in and out of this truck, so I need something smaller. I bought this truck some years back from the original owner when it was still under factory warranty. I bought it to pull a RV I used for a summer then sold. Then I used it to pull a boat my wife made me sell...so, it doesn't get much use except for the occasional single aluminum car trailer for my antique car...so this thing really never towed but maybe 10,000 miles in it's life. It's a great truck, and I take very good care of it. It's never given me any real issues and I'm meticulous with maintenance. The brakes are all new on it within the last 6 months. The tires have maybe 5000 miles on them, they are like brand new. They are not recaps but brand new Mastercraft tires. The truck is white with black leather interior. The interior looks like it has 40,000 miles on it. No wear at all virtually. It has all the options, heated seats, ON STAR, power windows and locks, CD player, ect. No sun roof and no navigation.

 

Last spring, I was driving through a pretty good sized puddle just after installing this really cool ram air setup that I seen on "Trucks" TV Show and I sucked some water in the turbo and hydrolocked the engine. So, I went out and found a 60,000 mile 2006 LBZ engine and had it installed by a very reputable diesel shop outside of Chicago. I got a deal and bought the transmission as well insofar as mine had 280000 miles on it. So now, the engine and trans has 70,000 miles on it. I have all the receipts for all the work I had done ($10,000) plus tires and brakes I just had done. warranty good on engine and trans for another 4 months.

 

I had planned to keep this truck forever...but, after falling down a concrete flight of stairs after a few beers, my back won't allow me to keep it. I need something smaller like a Tahoe that's easier to get in and out of and can occasionally tow a trailer.

 

The exterior was always washed weekly and the truck is always inside. It's a nice truck! There are no issues with it.

 

I have more pics I will put up tomorrow.

GMC Hummer EV pickup reveal postponed

Wed, Apr 29 2020

We’re pretty excited about the all-electric Hummer pickup coming from the GMC brand. GM is too, enough to spend Super Bowl money on an ad teasing it. Today, we received an update from GM about the Hummer EV, with good news and bad news. The bad news: GM has announced that it is postponing the May 20 reveal for the Hummer. With the coronavirus throwing the proverbial wrench into a number of vehicle operations, including reveals, we canÂ’t say weÂ’re surprised at all. The good news, GM assures us, is that development continues “undeterred.” GM understandably hasnÂ’t provided a new debut date for the GMC Hummer EV, but it did provide us with the new short teaser video above. WeÂ’ve seen other details in previous teasers, as well. We were lucky enough to see the Hummer EV in person last month just before the pandemic began causing the world to grind to a halt. At GMÂ’s EV Day at its Warren, Mich., campus, the Hummer pickupÂ’s exterior was on full display. ItÂ’s a big, off-road-ready pickup complete with giant all-terrain rubber and tow hooks. It features removable roof panels for access to the open sky, which appears to be depicted in the teaser above. It features sail panels behind the C-pillars, similar to those on the Chevy Avalanche and Honda Ridgeline. Its bed was concealed with a tonneau cover, but it sported GMCÂ’s MultiPro tailgate that we first saw on the Sierra Denali. Interior photos showed a spacious interior with blocky shapes, squared hourglass vents that mirror the look of the taillights and a lunar theme that incorporates the topography of the Sea of Tranquility into things like the floor mats and speaker covers. It also has a large infotainment screen as well as a digital instrument panel. The Hummer pickup will be offered with a number of electric powertrain options, the most powerful of which will provide 1,000 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of less than three seconds. Like the rest of the next generation of GM EVs, it will use the automakerÂ’s new Ultium modular battery and powertrain technology. While we donÂ’t have further details about a potential reveal date, we also know a Hummer electric SUV based on the pickup will follow at some point. It, too was on display at GMÂ’s EV Day. It looks exactly like the Hummer pickup from the rear doors forward, but with a shorter wheelbase and enclosed cargo area in the rear. It also sported a liftgate-mounted spare.

2019 GMC Sierra Denali and its nifty tailgate roll into dealers

Wed, Aug 22 2018

We've got more details about the 2019 GMC Sierra Denali now that it's rolling into dealerships, starting with its floor price of $56,195, including destination fee, for the rear-wheel-drive models. That's a jump of $1,900 over the previous generation of its premium full-size pickup. Four-wheel-drive models start at $60,295. The crew-cab truck has grown in every dimension as well, adding about 4 inches to the wheelbase, nearly 2 inches in length and 1.2 inches in width. There's also nearly 3 inches more rear legroom. Bed options are 5-foot-8 or 6-foot-6. There are three engine options. Two are carryovers from 2018: a 5.3-liter V8 that sends 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission, and an available 6.2-liter V8 that makes 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque and mated to a 10-speed automatic. Both come with GM's dynamic fuel management cylinder-deactivation technology to optimize power and fuel efficiency. A new 3.0-liter turbodiesel paired with a 10-speed automatic is expected in early 2019. The EPA hasn't yet released official fuel economy ratings, but GM estimates them at 17 miles per gallon in the city and 23 mpg on the highway for the two-wheel-drive versions, and 15/21 in four-wheel drive. The truck gets adaptive ride control which can adjust the dampers every 2 milliseconds based on real-time monitoring of the road and driver inputs for improved ride and handling. A new traction select system adjusts the transmission shift points, throttle mapping and StabiliTrak to tailor performance to different terrain or weather conditions. Inside the crew cab, there's new Forge leather-appointed seats, open-pore wood trim and dark finished aluminum decor, plus an 8-inch-diagonal HD color touchscreen with embedded navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Most of the other new stuff we've covered before, including new C-shaped LED headlights and LED tail and fog lamps, optional 22-inch wheels, full-color head-up display, trailer-hitch assist apps and cameras, and rear-camera mirror. The truck also loses up to 360 pounds from the outgoing model via a scratch- and dent-resistant carbon-fiber bed box that replaces steel, and use of aluminum in the doors, hood and tailgate.
