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

No diesels in the running for 2016 Green Car Of The Year

Thu, Oct 15 2015

It's a new era for the Green Car Of The Year. In the past, the theme of the award was to take a broad look at alternative powertrains and pick the best among them. "Clean diesels" from the Volkswagen group were often among the finalists and won the award twice. For the 2016 edition - which will be handed out at the LA Auto Show next month - not a single diesel made the list. There's little wonder why. Green Car Journal, which names the winner with a panel of experts, had to strip two VW brand vehicles of their past wins. The 2009 VW Jetta TDI, which won in 2008, and the 2010 Audi A3 TDI, which won in 2010, have both lost their titles now that the world knows about the "defeat devices" that VW installed in many of its TDI vehicles around the world. So, what does that leave us with for 2016? Two plug ins, a hybrid, and two gas vehicles. The two electric vehicle are the Audi A3 e-tron and the Chevy Volt, while the all-new Toyota Prius (which will come with a plug-in version later) is the lone pure hybrid. Rounding out the pack are two efficient gas models: the Hyundai Sonata and the Honda Civic. This is the tenth year for the Green Car Of The Year, and it will be interesting to see if diesels can come back into the award's good graces (for the record, no diesels were among the finalists in 2013, either) in the future. For now, we'd like to know who you think should win. You can read more about the finalists in the press release below and then cast your vote in our poll. Show full PR text FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2016 GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 11th Annual Award at LA Auto Show Press & Trade Days, November 19 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 15, 2015) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's prestigious 2016 Green Car of the Year® award. The 2016 models include the Audi A3 e-tron, Chevrolet Volt, Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata, and Toyota Prius. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
