The passenger side bank of injectors have been replaced with remans from Merchant-Automotive. Have documentation to show the purchase and the return of cores for return of deposit. These are the latest generation of the lb7 injector, designed to resist wear and corrosion. The fuel pump was able to produce 22,600 psi when commanded to full pressure. I have never had a tuner on this truck, and is still 100% stock. Transmission shifts perfectly.
The truck has developed an issue where it is hard to start. It turns over great, just refuses to kick over. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. I believe the problem is driver side bank of injectors. My guess would be one is leaking and the fuel system is having trouble reaching the 1,450psi required to start. I put the passenger side remaned injectors in in November and the starting issue started around March. Other then the starting, the truck runs great with great power. It doesn't smoke at idle and gives a slight black haze under full throttle, as all diesels do.
The only problem with the interior is the driver side seat bolster torn from normal wear from sliding in and out of the truck. The bed has a few dents as you can see in the pictures. There is a dent on the driver side under the 4x4 logo and on the passenger side before the back wheel. There dents were put here by the previous owner and I have no knowlege of how they were done. There is a dent on the passenger side top bed rail about 8 inches back from the cab. It was put there on the first and only time Ive ever had it off road. I ran over a tree branch and part of it flipped up and hit the bed, leaving the dent. There is some slight surface rust starting on the rocker panels.
The tires on it have about 50%+ tread left and are evenly worn.
The truck will come with an additional set of Pacer "Outlaw" style wheels that came on the truck when I bought it. The tires on these wheels are BFGoodrich All-Terrains 285/75/16. 2 of the tires are around 50% tread, the other two are worn and would require replacement.
Im selling this truck because I dont need it anymore. My brother left for Afghanistan and gave me his Dakota. It does 95% of what I need a truck to do, so there is no need for me to keep the diesel.
I have described this truck to the best of my knowledge and ability. I am not trying to hide anything about this truck, so, if you have any questions, please call and ask. Phone number is 606-739-5395, ask for Roger.

GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest
Thu, Mar 12 2015Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models
Fri, Mar 28 2014General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
