This is a really good diesel suburban, offered for a very fair price. It is a reluctant sale due to an upcoming overseas move. I am the second owner. When I purchased it 10 months ago. It was already in really nice clean shape, with about 161,000 miles. Just what you would expect from a one owner california vehicle. I looked at over 10 diesel suburbans before I bought this one. It was easily the nicest I saw. Very stock. Even though it ran well, because I was planning to keep for 10 years, and because I often travel to relatively remote areas with my wife and child, I took it to a well-known 4x4 repair shop and asked them to inspect it and to fix anything at all that they could find even slightly needing attention. Those repairs plus subsequent tires and AC repairs came to about $5000. Apart from the front tires and brake pad, and the AC, which did not blow cold and needed repairing, these were all optional repairs, the kind that most owners let go and drive around until something breaks (or they put it up for sale.) This suburban needs nothing, beside maybe a nicer stereo, and if you are fussy, re-upholstered front seats and the paint cleaned up above the wind screen and on the left side of the hood. The result is a low miles original condition diesel suburban that is extremely reliable, looks good, gets decent gas milage, will go anywhere, is good in all weather. It starts easily every time, drives well, all the electrical work, and stops well. Being a California car its whole life, it does not have the structural rust issues resulting from salted roads.
This one is in much better shape than you will typically see for sale. They are quite rare in this condition, and I would never sell if I was not moving. Both my buy-it-now and minimum price are very reasonable, and as I said this is a forced sale. Some considerations: • Low miles Good maintenance history. • Great original engine and transmission • No known noticeable oil leaks • No blow-by or smoking from the engine. No overheating issues of any kind • 4x4 hi and low and transmission work great • Paint is original and shiny. Has some clear coat peeling at the front of the hood, and a small rust bubble above the wind shield • No accident or rust issues (note: I just looked at the autocheck which cites an accident in 2006. I find that to be surprising/unlikely. It must have been exceptionally minor and/or repaired very well as there is no indication of it. I ran a carfax when I purchased the vehicle, and it reported no accident. I trust carfax more than autocheck. I just added a photo of the carfax I ran when I initially purchased the rig. • Clean interior. Leather. The front seats both have some wear/tearing to the leather where you sit on it - but they still function fine. Everything else in interior is good. • Good gas milage. I usually got 18mpg+ on the freeway • Great front tires - Goodrich T/A's with about 4000 miles. The rear tires are worn but safe. They will need replacing in less than 5000 miles • Very good air conditioning. Blows Ice cold. I had the compressor, refrigeration tower replaced with new items. I had the entire system inspected and a couple of small leaks repaired. The rear AC also works great. • I had a good quality remote PMD installed (from angeofishes on ebay) - important as the factory position near the exhaust manifold risks it overheating and the engine stalling. • I have receipts for repairs. These include a new thermostat, front brake pads, replace all turbo gaskets and oil return lines, replace idler arms, pitman arms, adjust steering box and tie rods and align wheels, replace turbo solenoid, replace fuel lines and reseal intake gasket (a big job, most diesel suburbans have an air leak somewhere in the fuel delivery system), relocate and mount new pmd module, transfer case replaced and re-sealed at transmission (it had a tiny hairline fracture), AC repair and re-charge, glow plugs removed and cleaned. The copy of the invoice I included is for most but not all the work I had performed, but it does support what I am saying • All electrical switches, power locks and windows, cruise, indicators, lights, temperature controls, fans, wipers, and switches all work (as of me writing this.) • This is my third suburban. I have had two 5.7 4x4 1500 gasoline engine suburbans. I liked them very well, and did many miles in both of them, but the 6.5L diesel 2500, when running well, as this one is, is just a pleasure to drive - super reliable, economical on gas, tons of low end torque, happy to literally sit all day at 2500 rpm and 75mph. It is a better engine than the 5.7L and not a gas hog like the 454. • For California residents, no smog is needed ever, which a a nice bonus. Please feel free to email me through ebay or at bill575@airpost.net if you have any questions. All information is described to the best of my ability. Also for sale locally, if it sells locally, I will cancel this auction, so buy-it-now is suggested if you are serious. Milage may increase is the vehicle is driven. I have the title in my possession, there are no liens, and no salvage or any other weird issues. I am looking for an easy smooth sale. Here included some links to some videos I made that describe the vehicle and show it running and provide more details about the condition: |

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
