Hello Folks,

I am selling my 2003 GM Pickup. I am the second owner of this truck and have owned it for most of its life. I am selling my truck to finance a move to Wyoming, which I will be taking my gas saver to lower my living costs while I am there.

I always take a lot of care with, and for my vehicles because I am very passionate about cars. The listing is correct for this truck's transmissin type even though the 5.3 liter was never offered with a mnaul transmission behind it from GM. This one is a 5 speed, with a manual shift transfer case. The original automatic from this truck worked fine, but working on vehicles is a passion of mine, and I enjoy to make them unique and well constructed. I decided to figure out a manual transmission swap for this truck and make it compatible with the 5.3 liter motor. I did my research and completed the conversion in the summer of 2011 and the truck has been running great since, with no issues. I did the swap at 88000 miles and the truck now has almost 147000 miles, so there are 59000 on the transmission and transfer case since I did the conversion. At the time of the conversion, before swapping the transmission and t-case into the truck, I rebuilt them to factory specifications.

Aside from this, I have always kept up with oil changes and regular maintenance. I always use full synthetic Amsoil in the motor, and royal purple products for the differentials. The oil was changed last at 143000 miles, so the truck will be due again soon. The differential oil was changed in the front & rear, at the same time I completed the installation of the new transmission and Transfer case.

I grease all steering components and anything with a zirk fitting (slip shaft, u-joints, etc...) monthly, and have been in the habit of brushing off any scale rust I find on the frame. At 140000 miles, I replaced all of my valve guide seals, and was pleasantly surprised with how clean the valve train looks. I was impressed so I took a picture and have included it for you to see too. At 120000 miles I had to replace my power steering box which I did with a re manufactured unit. At some point around 80000 miles I replaced the front differential seals and found a bad cv joint/hub during dis-assembly for it, which I replaced with a new Moog unit.

**(An interesting note about the seals is to make sure you always keep the vent tube clear. If it clogs, this will cause pressure to build and wear out the seals, as was the case for my truck. I rerouted this tube, to make it more accessible, and now I am in the habit of checking it when I check the oil and belts, and have had no issues since)**. I recently put on new shocks all around-- nothing too fancy; just some dependable gas charged ones by Monroe that I have had good success with on other vehicles, and make for a nice smooth ride. Lastly, this truck has four wheel disc brakes, and I replaced the rear rotors, caliper guide pins and boots this past month.

A few negative things I want to point out on the truck;

-The throw out bearing can be heard when the truck is running and sitting still. The noise does not affect the drive-ability of the vehicle, and is not audible while driving, which is why I have not replaced it. I have thought a lot about this and I do know that there is a spring that keeps the throw out in contact with the pressure plate and sometimes when old will allow for movement of the throw out away from the fingers. I am suspect of this, but have not felt it necessary to go through the work of removing the slave cylinder to troubleshoot, since I have yet to notice an effect on driving or an increase in noise level. There is a possibility that it could be in the early stages of failure, or have contaminant build up inside it and need cleaning. The part is cheap but the job can take a descent amount of time to complete. If this is the case, I do not want you to be unaware of the possibility prior to purchasing and feel you have been deceived. That is not my intention, I want to sell my truck to another person like me, who is passionate about their vehicles, and will get the same joy out of owning this truck as I have had.

- The truck does not have the front portion of the emergency brake cable currently installed. I have the part, but have not installed it, honestly due to my infrequent use of the system. - Most of the time I leave truck in gear when parked, and as a result I do not regularly recall that I need to install it.

-The truck has the abs and service brake light on the dash. This is on currently due to a sensor wire that has worn through on the front right tire. I have the replacement sensor for the truck, and will either provide it with the truck to the new owner, or, if you'd like, I can install it for you before you come to pick it up.

I have tried my best to describe my truck to you, short of coming to see it. - (Which you are absolutely welcome to do if you live in the Western New York area.) If there is anything else you would like to know about the truck, please do not hesitate to ask! My name is Frank, and you can either reach me through Ebay, or if you'd like, by phone, with either a text message or, preferably, a phone call. I have more pictures available and would be happy to talk about it with you.My number is 716 868 8501.

**I don't know how to ship a vehicle cost effectively, so you will have to be able to come get the truck or arrange for the shipping of it. I'll be happy to work with you on that though for instance, if it needs to be picked up, or if you want to put it on the road to drive it home.

Best Regards & Thanks!

-Frank

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and Â“shatterproofÂ” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique Â“frunkgateÂ” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.

2017 GMC Canyon steals Cadillac's V6 for a little more power

Mon, Aug 29 2016

GMC is fortifying the Canyon with a new powertrain and two new trim levels for 2017. GMC will give the Canyon the 3.6-liter V6 found in the Cadillac ATS, CTS, CT6, and XT5 crossover. The engine will be matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which also can be found on Cadillacs, the new 2017 Colorado, and other General Motors vehicles. The new engine comes with variable valve timing, improved direct injection, and Active Fuel Management, which is a form of cylinder deactivation that shuts off two cylinders to increase fuel efficiency and performance. Power is up from 305 to 308 horsepower, while torque increases from 269 to 275 pound-feet of torque compared to the old 3.6-liter V6. With the new transmission, the Canyon benefits from a higher first gear ratio, which should help drivers get off the line more easily when towing large cargo, and lower overdrive ratios for improved fuel efficiency. The 2016 model had a six-speed automatic. The Colorado also gets the eight-speed transmission for '17. GMC previously announced the All Terrain X and Denali models. The All Terrain X trim is offered on the SLE model and comes with the new 3.6-liter V6 engine or the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel. The All Terrain X gets Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac P225/65R17 all-terrain tires, a body-color grille surround and matching rear step bumper, bespoke 17-inch aluminum wheels, and a spray-on bedliner. The truck also is fortified with Hill Descent Control and an off-road suspension. The Denali carries the flag as the most luxurious Canyon model and gets a Bose seven-speaker audio system, more chrome, and interior upgrades. In addition to the new models and the powertrain, the 2017 Canyon will be offered with new colors – Dark Slate Metallic, Mineral Metallic, and Red Quartz Metallic Â– a new IntelliLink radio with a seven-inch touchscreen, a heated steering wheel as an optional extra, and Standard Teen Driver Mode. The 2017 Canyon, with all of its changes, will be available in the fourth quarter of the year.

2020 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty teased, and you better believe there's a huge grille

Fri, Jan 18 2019

Chevrolet has shown us a few photos of its redesigned Silverado Heavy Duty, and today we score our first teaser of the GMC Sierra version of this truck. The most controversial feature of the Silverado HD has to be its massive grille, and the Sierra appears to be no different. Just from this photo of the face, we can already tell it's going to be as bold, some might say gaudy, as the Chevy. We'll have to wait awhile to see it all, though, as GM says the Sierra HD will be making its debut in the second half of 2019. It's no Supra teaser campaign, but this one is already starting out pretty early for a work pickup truck. As far as features and technical details go, mum is the word for now. However, we can assume the Sierra will be nearly identical with the Silverado HD powertrain-wise. We know two engines will be offered on that truck, one being a gasoline V8 and the other a Duramax turbodiesel V8 — the former will be mated to a six-speed automatic, while the latter gets the 10-speed auto. Even though it isn't out yet, the torque figure is already less than the Ram and Ford heavy duty trucks at 910 pound-feet from the diesel. The Ram Heavy Duty just revealed at the Detroit Auto Show scores a whopping 1,000 pound-feet of twist in the torque department. We'll know more about the Sierra HD when the Silverado HD presumably gets revealed with full details at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show at the beginning of February. One thing's for sure: If you want chrome and lots of it, you're gonna get it with the 2020 GMC Sierra HD. 2020 Chevy Silverado HD View 5 Photos Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
