I'm selling my 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax Diesel. I've only owned it since the winter, however due to a recent change in jobs, I find myself driving a lot more and it simply isn't practical to own at this point.


I've been a diesel truck enthusiast most of my life, and I looked high and low before purchasing this truck. It was a one owner truck before me, owned by a man who used it to tow his camper. There are fifth wheel rails in the bed from this, but it was never used for work towing or abused. I have only used it occasionally to tow a horse trailer and used it as my daily driver.

The truck is excellent condition. It has never been plowed with, and the front end is nice and tight. There is no rust on the body, nor are there any major dents, dings or scratches. (A few here and there you would find on any ten year old vehicle, but nothing major.)

This truck has every option except the sunroof and DVD. It is 4x4, crew cab short bed. It's an SLT, so it has power everything, leather, Bose sound, heated seats, and automatic A/C.

The truck has just under 82,000 miles, which is very low for a Duramax of this age. This will go up some as it is my daily driver. I've kept it well maintained during the time I had it, and added quite a few modifications:

It has:

- LBZ Turbo mouthpiece
- Brand new Fox Racing Shocks on all 4 corners
- Magnaflow Downpipe
- 5 Inch MBRP straight pipe to a 6 inch polished tip
- Edge CTS 4 inch touchscreen in a dash pod. (ONLY used for gauges. This truck has NEVER been tuned or programmed)
- Prodigy brake controller
- Denali Projector Headlights
- AVS bug visor

I've also done a few maintenance items, including flushing the power steering / hydroboost system out with Amsoil synthetic. I also have 5 gallons of Amsoil Trans-Synd and a new Allison filter to go with the truck, which is almost $300 by itself. 


Minor Issues:

There is a little bit of surface rust on the frame here and there. No rust on the cab or bed; Please see the videos for more info. The rear passenger door reflector is missing, and there is some peeling paint underneath the headlight switch. Also, when the truck is cold, there is sometimes an odd groaning noise from the front end. I'm not sure why this happens, but it goes away once the truck is warm and doesn't always happen when it's cold.

This is bar none one of the nicest LLY trucks out there, ESPECIALLY in the northeast. Please let me know if you'd like to see the truck before bidding and we can set something up. Thanks!

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test

Tue, Oct 25 2016

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:

2015 Sierra All Terrain HD looks ready to hit heavy-duty trails

Thu, 22 May 2014

GMC is getting its heavy-duty trucks ready for the mud this summer with its All Terrain package for the Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD. Meant to blend style, tech and ruggedness, the pack includes a lot of extra chrome outside and an off-road package underneath.
The 2015 Sierra All Terrain HD trucks naturally come standard with four-wheel drive with an electronically controlled transfer case to handle things in the dirt. The Z71 off-road package is also standard, which includes Rancho twin-tube shocks, hill descent control and a skid plate. To add some style when off the beaten path, the pack includes chrome trim on the mirror caps, lower bumper and grille surround, plus LEDs around the headlights and 18-inch wheels (20-inchers are optional on the 2500HD). The 3500HD also gets chrome, adjustable outside camper mirrors. The interior receives a technology upgrade thanks to the standard rearview camera and IntelliLink infotainment that can act as a Wi-Fi hotspot through OnStar 4G LTE, read text messages and includes Siri Eyes Free for iPhone users.
The All Terrain package goes on sale on both trucks this summer and is offered on either the SLE or SLT trim levels in double cab and crew cab models. The standard engine is the 6.0-liter V8 with 360 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, but the Duramax 6.6-liter, diesel V8 with 397 hp and 765 lb-ft is also available. The gas engine is mated to a Hydra-matic six-speed automatic, and the diesel uses an Allison six-speed automatic. Scroll down to read the full announcement about these heavy-duty off-roaders.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
