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

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

GM might outsource vans to AM General

Thu, Nov 26 2015

General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:
