1995 Chevrolet K3500 for sale:

I bought this truck about 3 years ago and it sat for about a year before I got to it. It wasn't in great shape then but I needed something to pull a 5th wheel and it was affordable or so I thought.

Two years ago I put in a new long block engine, all new hoses, injection pump, lines, injectors, glow plugs, upgrade 130 GPM water pump and the upgrade duramax dual t-stat and assembly and fan, new alternator, new vac pump, sensors, turbo and so much more. In the last 8 months I have replaced the brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, lines and hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, hubs, front axles, all ball joints, upper control arms, all tie rod ends, stabilizer strut, shocks, 4x4 shaft, and had the rear end gone through with yolk replaced. A few months ago I put on a different bed that I found in Georgia which was in mint condition and I had it painted by a paint shop. I had custom made battery cables as well as glow plug harness at time I put engine in. I have replaced the locks, dampers in the heat/cool system, all the actuators, the heating/cooling control center. I replaced all u-joints in the past 3 months and they replaced the rear bearings and seals also when they did the rear end. I had the transmission checked out and had them do a filter and flush at GM garage about a year ago. I also put on a 4" exhaust and a K&N air intake about a year ago. Front fenders I put on last year. Not the truck color as I was going to change the color when I restored the rest of it but didn't like that color when it was on. Has a blue ray starter on it and life time alt. paperwork in in glove box for warranties. Changed tires and wheels 4 months ago so in great shape. Truck comes with tool box and 5th wheel hitch as shown. RV does not come with it. Also has a new radiator 6 months ago.

I have replaced about everything on this truck that can be changed out except the tranny, power steering, air conditioner, and front dif. and I spared no expense doing it either. I was going to complete the restoration this winter when I was on layoff however I bought a new 5th wheel three months ago and pulled it from Florida to North Carolina and it didn't pull it very well. Really cut down speed on hills so I parked it in the RV park we often stay at for long terms and went back to hotels for the past few months. I left Penn last week to head back to NC and between Richmond VA and Raleigh it shut down like I turned the key off. I pulled over and started right back up, went another 80 miles and it did it again. First time in two years I got an SES light. Well, made it to Raleigh although it was dying about every 10 to 15 miles. It would start right back up so I changed the PMD when I got home, and then tested it and was the same. I pulled the SES Codes and told me it was either the CPS (crankshaft position sensor) or the IP (Injection Pump). I don't know what one it is, could be one or the other or both? I just don't know and since it wont pull my new RV, I am just going to sell it. I just don't have time to mess with it since it wont pull my RV and I have to buy a bigger truck so my plans to wrap it up this winter has ended. Now this pulled my 30' unit just fine for two years but my new unit is 38' and much heavier so, its just not big enough for that 5th wheel.

I have done by very best to describe this truck. I have babied it, gave it a ton of love, but its time we part! This truck starts immediately, have had no issues, I did put a block heater in it (the good one) for the block but have never used it. Has never fell below 30 degrees where I have been in the winter so never used it. I also put in new LED tail lights, new grill with smoke lights in it about a year ago. I put over 15 grand in this truck in past two years and have it listed locally at the rv park where I am parked so basically the first 5 grand takes it. I wont take less then 5 grand for it or I will part it out. The current engine in it has just over 70,000 miles on it and the long block alone was 5500.00 bare.

Please ask questions before bidding. I give no warranties or promises with this truck but that the above it complete and true. I had the oil cooler lines replaced a little while back along with the oil cooler and I did see a small drip recently so he may have nicked the oil line connector when he installed the new ones. Not sure as didn't climb under and just had an oil change so may have been from that. I have used the 4 x4 twice just to check to see if worked and it does. I don't have any reason to use the 4x4 or haven't anyway. Truck is located in Moncure NC which is just outside of Raleigh. I am traveling but will come back for a serious buyer. I have it hooked up to my RV right now in case park owner needs to move it. The AC works well and I put a new gas tank in it also and lines about 10 months ago too. I am sure there is something I have missed that I added to this truck as I have done so much to it. I love the truck except I just cant see putting more time and cash in it to have sitting around when it wont work for me.

Please done hesitate to ask any questions. If you don't mind to do some work here or there this would be a great truck. The interior is original and not perfect either but not too bad, just average for an old truck. Heck, cant be to much else to replace in the future as I replaced about all of it already. I have clear title ready to go. I will have to remove tags at time of sale as NC requires them to be returned.

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?

Sun, Jan 10 2016

Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
