OH WOW! 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD 4X4 TOW PACKAGE, BOSS PLOW PACKAGE, NO RESERVE!!
This truck was a trade in to a local chevrolet dealer. It is being offered for sale with no reserve, as-is just like it was taken in. This truck was not inspected by a mechanic, but I have driven it and looked it over, and will tell you everything that I knw about it. I have several years experience appraising vehicles, so although I am not a certified mechanic, I'm pretty good as assessing these trucks. This vehicle will be wholesaled at a local dealer auction next week, it is being offered no reserve here, if you are the high bidder and follow through with the transaction it's yours, just bid what you want to pay, and take it home at a great price. This vehicle could use a couple things, but it does runs and drive really well, and will make someone an amazing workhorse.
Lets start with the exterior. This vehicle does have the typical northers rust on the rockers and cab corners as you can see. The rest of the body is pretty darn clean considering the age and miles. The bed does not have a liner and shows normal use. The tailgate functions. The extended cab doors do not open, not sure why, but they won't unlatch. This truck has very nice HD polished wheels. I would say considering the age and being a norther truck, she's a pretty good looker. Obviously this is how it was traded in and would benefit from a professional buff and detail. The glass is all in good shape. This does have a Boss plow mount, the electric plug-in and the plug for the joystick inside. I'm not a plow guy, so I don't know what you need to make it a plow, but I'm sure you plow guys out there can tell from the pics.
The interior of this truck is clean. Again, it could use a detail, but as you can see in the pictures the seats are all in good shape and clean, and the floors are really clean for a 2001. The dash and door panels all seem to be very nice. The A/C is ice cold, and it has a nice aftermarket cd player with a USB input for your ipod. The windows and locks function like they should, the drivers mirror does not.
The mechanical. This truck runs and drives amazing for the mileage. It goes down the road straight and tight. The heavy duty suspension on these really does hold up well. The engine sounds great with plenty of power, no abnormal noises, and it doesn't smoke. There is no check engine light on and it runs smooth. The transmission is tight and it goes through all of the gears just like it should. The tires are about 70% warn. They are matched Michelins, and ride nice. I would say you can still get thousands of miles out of them, but they will need to be replaced in the future. The brakes stop well with no pulse. What it needs: The airbag light comes on from time to time, buy it to be on. The ABS appears to activate just before you stop, when you get down to less than 5mph, you get the noice and pedal feedback. The ABS light isn't on, and they obviously work but not sure why they kick on at a stop. There is an oil leak that could be coming from the pan, the oil filter, or the rear main seal. Figure it to be the rear main seal. The 4x4 engages and comes out just like it should. If you hit the button going down the road like 40MPH, you get a half second grind noise when it drops in, if you put it in when you are stopped it doesn't make the noise. Works great, just seems like the on the fly isn't syncing right at speed.
So thats it, this is a good running driving truck that I wouldn't be afraid to drive 1000 miles back home. It does need a few things, but for the price I'm sure it will go for, this is going to be a hell of a truck for the price. Be the high bidder! This truck will have to be picked up between 9-5 M-F if you want the title when you leave. If you are not a Michigan resident you will get the title and a bill of sale. If you are a Michigan resident you will pay 6% sales tax, sign the paperwork, and get your title from the state in 10-15 days. Pickup or shipping is your responsibility, but I will help as much as possible. Paypal deposit is due in 48 hours, full payment and pickup within 7 days.
If you have any questions please ask, good luck and thanks for looking!

IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
First 2016 Chevy Volt commercial rocks us to sleep
Fri, Jan 30 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Volt, with its thorough restyling and increased all-electric range, is an exciting evolution of Chevy's groundbreaking plug-in hybrid, so it's only fitting that the commercial campaign to sell it to the masses also be engaging and vibrant. Well, the first ad has just been officially released and it rocks... us to sleep. Now, we get that General Motors didn't want to repeat past Volt-commercial mistakes. No one wants to see dogs licking feet or dumb (and weirdly horny) aliens again. Nor would it be smart to slam all-electric vehicles, since it now sells the Spark EV and has just revealed its 200-mile Bolt concept. So, what does that leave? How about a mostly computer-generated spot that relies on cliche images and an upbeat synthetic soundtrack to communicate that the Volt is now as boring as other four-door appliances? An intro, featuring a lightly-bearded gentleman peering at his tablet through designer glasses launches us into the action as the Volt makes its way across a city bridge, then a curvaceous country road. Chevrolet doesn't include voiceover to inform you that the new Volt has a 50-mile battery-only range. There's no mention of its gas mileage once its electric charge is depleted – items that just might be of importance to hybrid buyers. The ad also makes no attempt at establishing an emotional connection, either through drama or comedy. There are, however, lots of fast cuts of the new, normalized interior, including a two-second detail shot featuring the windshield wiper switch. We imagine that this is only the first in a series of spots that will tell the Volt story and motivate potential buyers to run down to their local dealer, hopefully the next spots will be more interesting and informative.

5 reasons why GM is cutting jobs, closing plants in a healthy economy
Tue, Nov 27 2018DETROIT — Even though unemployment is low, the economy is growing and U.S. auto sales are near historic highs, General Motors is cutting thousands of jobs in a major restructuring aimed at generating cash to spend on innovation. It's the new reality for automakers that are faced with the present cost of designing gas-powered cars and trucks that appeal to buyers now while at the same time preparing for a future world of electric and autonomous vehicles. GM announced Monday that it will cut as many as 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reductions could amount to as much as 8 percent of GM's global workforce of 180,000 employees. The cuts mark GM's first major downsizing since shedding thousands of jobs in the Great Recession. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year. The move to make GM get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which also has struggled to keep one foot in the present and another in an ambiguous future of new mobility. Ford has been slower to react, but says it will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers as it exits much of the car market in favor of trucks and SUVs, some of them powered by batteries. Here's a rundown of the reasons behind the cuts: Coding, not combustion CEO Mary Barra said as cars and trucks become more complex, GM will need more computer coders but fewer engineers who work on internal combustion engines. "The vehicle has become much more software-oriented" with millions of lines of code, she said. "We still need many technical resources in the company." Shedding sedans The restructuring also reflects changing North American auto markets as manufacturers continue to shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. That figure was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesn't make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. "We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring," he wrote. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GM's North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off.
