VEHICLE NOTES: 

 

Vehicle has its original 454 that is outfitted with a custom fit Banks exhaust system with an X pipe and cold air K&N filter intake. A catalytic converter will need to be added if you are moving the vehicle to a state that requires emissions (engine light is on currently due to emissions removal, will go out when re-installed). Rear seal on crank Shaft has a slight oil leak. This era Chevy 454 uses oil, and they always have. With that and the crank seal leak it is currently using about half a quart of oil (plus or minus) between oil changes (3500 miles) so the repair is by no means needed ASAP.


Tires are okay with about 50% (plus or minus) of their tread life left. The truck will require a final  front wheel alignment (preliminary already done) due to suspension modifications (the drop kit that was installed). Cruise control is currently not functioning (not sure why, never really cared). The A/C works and blows cold air, but has to be charged seasonally (I do it myself with a simple can of recharge from the local auto parts store, takes about five minutes.) Truck fires right up and drives very good (See Video Link Below) and gauges and instruments all work. (See List Above)

 

The driver's seat has cracking on the left side under the custom covers. The passenger seat and rear seats are very good. Windshield will need to be replaced. Overall condition of this vehicle is good+. It has a tow package (with actuator), plus an additional tow package for both fifth wheel and goose neck (bolted through the bed to the frame - 25K capacity). (Goose neck hitch is included with purchase of vehicle.) Vehicle can still tow fine even with the drop kit. I used this truck to haul horses, that's it. No heavy loads like RVs, but I am not the originally owner so I cannot say what it was used for before I bought it.


Paint overall is in good condition, but there are some flaws on the rear fenders. Duallys have a tendency to throw rocks up from the tires and hit the inner fenders. That's just the way it is with duallys of this era (no inner fender protection). The paint is not chipped or missing, but spidered.


This is a solid truck that you can drive right now without any worries. I don't care where in the country you live, you can drive this truck home as is, if you so choose. Does it have issues? Yes of course it does, it is almost twenty years old. I have listed the issues that I would like to know about if I was buying a vehicle. However, you can ask me any questions and I will answer them. I am an honest seller and have nothing to hide, but cannot pretend to know everything. If I do not disclose something it is because I am not aware of it - period. If, I do know something about this truck, then so will you. Contact me by “asking seller a question”. There is no reason you should not be completely happy with your purchase, just ask. I have taken care of this vehicle while I have been the owner and I am selling it because I bought a newer one and have no use for two duallys.


I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability, but each person's opinions can and do vary, so please ask questions. I have linked below to a video of the truck starting and running. The title is clean and clear. I'm happy to assist with shipping logistics if needed.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
