1995 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban Lt Sport Utility 4-door 6.5l on 2040-cars

Richfield, Wisconsin, United States

This well used 1995 2500 Diesel Suburban starts and runs well.  It handles like a dream in deep snow is and incredibly comfortable on long trips.  I bought this in 2008 with about 237,000 miles and have driven it in a limited capacity, but regularly, since.  While the body is in poor condition, the mechanicals on this vehicle are solid.  I would not hesitate to drive this SUV any distance.  For the last five years, we have used it exclusively for trips longer than 100 miles and recreational travel (biking/kayaking) as our other car is small and electric.  Tires are in very good condition - spare is included.

Air conditioning/heat works perfectly.  Two zone system allow passengers in the back to control their own AC/heat.  4WD works perfectly.  As soon as I took ownership of the Suburban I took care of two big ticket fixes:  Transmission was rebuilt by professional local shop (Automatic Transmission Design, Inc.).  Injector Pump replaced with professionally rebuilt IP and installed by local garage specializing in diesel repair (Richfield Auto).  If bought locally, the starter and alternator have have replaced by lifetime warranted pieces.  Most recently, ABS sensors replaced on front brakes and brake system inspection completed.  The brakes have plenty of life left on them.  I also had a replacement exhaust custom fabricated for this SUV as it was tough to find a replacement system.  They took the exhaust back from after the headers all the way to the tailpipe.  

I detailed some of the cosmetic defects above, but I will try to list as many as I can remember here:
  • Patches of surface rust
  • Patches of body rust near front doors
  • Front passenger door will not open from the inside (broken latch - not uncommon with late 1990's Chevy SUV's)
  • Rear passenger door will not lock and window will not roll down (removed faulty motor for window and replaced with 1X4 to hold window in place)
  • Front passenger bumper bent upward (no subsequent damage to any mechanicals i.e. oil lines, radiator)
  • Rear driver bumper dented and bent slightly upward
  • Driver running board missing a bolt
  • Windshield cracked
  • Some vegetable oil stains on rear passenger floor
Mechanical issues I am aware of:
  • Smoking on startup
  • Slight oil leak
  • Some 'blowby' through the oil dipstick
  • Cruise control inoperable
  • Air bag light on
  • Missing one lug nut on rear passenger tire (should get myself to NAPA to get this - old one was rounded off a little)
Now for the fun!  I converted this vehicle to WVO using a professionally designed Greasecar System.  This system involved a second 40 gallon tank specifically for WVO, and a two fuel system under the hood.  Basically, you can run on diesel, then when the vehicle has heated to a certain temperature, you switch it over to free waste vegetable oil.  Before you finish your trip you switch back to diesel and you are good to go.  We have saved $1000's of dollars on diesel fuel using this system, but the hobby is at an end for us.  As such, we are also including a WVO starter kit - everything you will need to filter and run WVO in this system.  (Even a little oil if you want it.)  You will need a trailer to get this starter kit to your home.  The tank on the truck currently is about 1/2 full with clean WVO.  I run the system periodically to keep it working properly.  

With this WVO starter kit I am offering 
  • Filtering - storage barrel.  This barrel has two valves in the bottom portion of the barrel.  One to pump out sediment, the other to pump clear free fuel into your Greasecar
  • Barrel heater.  You use the barrel heater to heat the oil in the barrel and allow the sediment to settle to the bottom upon cooling
  • 1/2 hp pump.  Used to pump oil from the barrel to the filter canister
  • Filter canister and filters.  Pressurized canister containing a filter that runs to a gas pump style hose.  This ensures the oil going in your tank is free of any sediment.
  • Two food grade 35 gallon barrels.  For oil storage.
  • One 55 gallon barrel.  More oil storage.
  • A few cubes with some unfiltered WVO in them 
Note:  You do not need to run WVO in this vehicle.  You could leave the system in place and run only on diesel if you wish with no harm to the truck.  You could also remove the system fairly simply (if you have a rudimentary understanding of diesel engines).  It would take me about one hour to restore (not offering to do it, just giving an idea of the complexity).  You could also continue running this truck on WVO if you wish.  It is a relatively hassle free way to drive for free.

As with any 20 year old vehicle, this is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS.  You must arrange for shipping/pickup and no warranty is offered or implied.  I have attempted to describe this vehicle as completely as I can, but if there are issues with the vehicle not covered in the above description, I am not liable for them.  This is a No Reserve auction.  If you bid on this, you may win it.  Please be prepared to pay for this and arrange shipping or pick up.  I am unable to deliver this vehicle for you.  If you want WVO system, you will need some type of trailer as equipment will not all fit in the Suburban.

After your winning bid:
I would like $500 within 48 hours of close.  Paypal only please.  The balance upon pickup/delivery when I will provide you with the clear title.  Balance must be in cash, cashier's check verified during banking hours, Paypal or escrow.com.  If shipping, I will not allow pickup until I have verified funds.

Any questions at all, please contact me through Ebay and I will respond asap.

Thank you,
Eric

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

Crash victim found still inside car 6 hours after it was towed away [w/video]

Wed, Jan 7 2015

Police near Dayton, OH, have quite a confusing case on their hands after the victim of a crash early on New Year's Day couldn't initially be found. Six hours later, the man was discovered lying on the vehicle's floorboard at the tow yard. The unidentified person was admitted to a local hospital in critical condition with possible leg injuries. The police first responded to the scene of the crash around 3:00 am on New Year's Day when a Chevrolet Impala hit a utility pole and drove through a fence, according to WHIO News. The authorities claim that they searched for the man for an hour and a half and came up with nothing. The car was then hauled away to the yard, which was only about 500 feet away. The tow yard worker found the man around 9:00 am and called 911. However, he was clearly dubious about the injured man's predicament and suggested to the operator that he might have returned to the Impala. Police are still investigating the incident. According to WHIO, authorities might have somehow missed the man in the sedan during the search. Alternatively, he could have left the scene of the accident and later returned. Watch the video below for more about this bizarre case. The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.
