This is all and everything for this truck. I never intended on selling her, but I need to pull the trigger for my kids sake. Kelly Blue Book is 9,500.00 without extras.
1) Rear bumper needs work, bad rust(see pictures)
2) Body may have a little rust, but nothing really showing. 
3) Underneath the truck, see the pictures. It has normal wear/tear/rust. Nothing bad.
4) Front bumper has the start of rust by plate mounts.
5) Needs new speedometer sensor.
6) Needs new front window.
7) Small tears in seating on the sides. Nothing big. Never smoked in.
8) Transmission has failed. Stuck in first. Can be driven on to a tow truck/trailer.
9) Rear shocks (2 shocks) should be replaced in the next year or so. The big cost was the front, and I just did them 3 months ago. (6 shocks) (1500)
10) I let the truck sit a few years back, rain over time cause a weak point in the frame. I had it repaired right so it wont be a issue in the future but I feel I have to mention it. Buyers can have copy of invoice if wanted, 3500.00. Cant tell in images it was ever touched.

Now, This is what spec's I have for this truck.
1) 2003 silverado 1500, V8, 4.8L with 87,500 miles on it. No motor work ever done. Besides maintenance...oil..ect.
2) Added pics of a car fax, to show this vehicle was never in a accident. The carfax doesn't show the frame repair listed above, not sure why...but the frame won't be a issue.
3) Feel free to run anything on it, this is the VIN # : 1GCEK19V23E242929.
4) Lifted in 2006 with a 6" front, and 5" rear suspension lift. Pro Comp Kit. With Variable MX6 Shocks. 6 up front & 2 in the rear.
5) 17" American Rims. Black Teflon. 8 Hole pattern. One center piece missing. 
6) Goodyear MT/R LT305/70R with at least 1/2 tread left. 35" swing roughly.
7) 4x4 on floor.
8) Anti-lock brakes still have 60% plus left.
9) Interior Floor is similar to a Jeep, No carpet. Done by Chevy, its a rubber/pastic composite I believe. Good shape.
10) Audio Bahn 10" speakers in a custom fit to truck box. I slid the box out to show in the pictures. Audio Bahn amp, all ran to a Sony CD in dash player.
11)Rhino Lining in bed. was done in 2004, and bed is in great shape. 
12) MX6 Variable shocks, 3 per wheel up front. New just a few months back. (see pic's) (variable gas shock)
13) Reese tow Hitch, Tow package from Chevy originally. Reese added in 2007. "Tow Beast" Sadly, I never towed a thing with it.
14) Westin Black running steps. 
15) Dual A/C controls. Heat. 
16) Air bags are fine, it has a option in it to turn off or turn to auto for the passenger air bag.
17)  Anything I didn't list on here works fine. Motor good, interior good, radiator good, battery good, runs well, cant shift*, start fine, stereo system fine, 4x4 good...

I assume that someone who can replace the trans themselves would be interested. Otherwise looking at 3,000.00 to replace. It is a Allison 1000 I believe. I know its a Allison. Still if price is right, and it is. The truck has many years to go in it. With my new family members and work I am just throwing my towel in on it. Title, Manual, and 3 keys go with it. 

THANKS FOR LOOKING, HAPPY HUNTING

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
