1 Ton Single Cab 4x4 Diesel Gmc Sierra on 2040-cars
Vienna, Illinois, United States
|
Original 1 ton GMC Sierra pickup truck. I have owned this truck for 20 years. I bought the truck in 1994 off of a dealer in Fox Lake Illinois. The truck had around 80,000 miles on it when I bought it. I mainly drove this truck when I was in High School. At the time I was not looking for a truck with a lift, but it was already on it when I bought it. The truck has a 4 inch lift so it is not excessive and looks good. I have always kept this truck shedded since I have owned it. It currently sits in the pole barn covered up. The mice have not been in it. I start it up about once every three months to keep mechanical parts working, motor lubed ect. I am selling the truck because I need to reduce my fleet of vehicles. I also do not want to keep paying insurance on it since I do not drive it. I have spent a lot of money on this truck over the years, way more than what it is worth to keep it original. I have replaced the radiator. Right after I bought it from the dealer it had a small leak so I changed the whole radiator. The doors, bed sides, tail gait are new. The lights on the tailgate are original with the 1 ton package at the time. It has been painted back to original midnight Black, factory color. The body man put extra clear coat on for extreme protection . Several years back the dash started cracking so I replaced it with a new one. The headliner has been replaced and is still good shape, this was a common problems with these older trucks. The seat is in good shape, I always had a seat cover on it to keep it nice. I fixed the steering column because it got loose along with the ignition switch. It has tilt wheel. The windshield wiper control lever is new. All the gauges work. The transfer case was rebuilt by a local 4x4 shop. When they rebuilt this they went ahead and put in a new clutch, throw out bearing, new u joints, seals, ect . The brakes are like new. The tires have less than 5000 miles on them, so they are in good shape. It has a 4 speed transmission with 4:10 gear ratio Dana 70 rear end. The power windows work. The engine runs good, no major leaks. The engine has been completely rebuilt over the years. The block was shipped off to St. Louis to be fixed back in 1995. I had the heads magnafluxed, welded and resurfaced by Mac Weld in Carbondale IL. It has hydraulic lifters on the heads. Everything was always put back original down to the wiring, no half jobs. I put new head bolts on the heads when they were installed back. The glow plugs work good, they have been changed over the years. When I had the body work done, I changed one fuel tank out, so one is newer than the other. No leaks on the tanks. The motor has its usual blow by. The motor is around 370 Cubic inch displacement detroit engine, not the converted 5.9. The batteries are in good shape. It has two batteries purchased september 2011. I never smoked in this truck. I never mudded this truck. I did my best to keep the truck original. Some extras I added to it over the years was a bug shield, full set of running boards, visor and bed caps. Sliding window was factory original. I like the looks of the old GM trucks and really would miss the truck. Any other questions you can call me at 618-771-2363. |

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test
Tue, Oct 25 2016The 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:
General Motors could turn Hamtramck into its electric pickup, SUV hub
Fri, Nov 15 2019Electric off-roaders could revitalize the Detroit-Hamtramck factory that General Motors previously announced it will close. While official details remain shrouded in secrecy, analysts believe the plant will be re-tooled to manufacture at least three electric models due out during the early 2020s. The plant's scheduled closure was one of the grievances the United Auto Workers (UAW) union cited when it embarked on a 40-day strike in September 2019. General Motors agreed to keep it open without shedding much light on what it planned to build there. Analyst at LMC Automotive told the The Detroit News they believe an often-rumored electric SUV that will resurrect Hummer's name, image, or both will be one of the models assigned to the Hamtramck plant. Battery-powered variants of the GMC Sierra and the Cadillac Escalade will be made there, too, as will an enigmatic van. LMC Automotive's Jeff Schuster believes the van will come first; it could enter production as early as 2021. The Hummer — which might also be offered as a pickup — will follow before the end of 2022, while the Sierra and the Escalade will both arrive in 2023. We're taking this report with a grain of salt, though, because only one of the aforementioned models has been announced by General Motors. Rumors of a Hummer resurrection emerged in the summer of 2019, just a few weeks before we heard unverified reports of a battery-powered variant of the next-generation Escalade. General Motors confirmed plans to enter the burgeoning electric pickup truck segment, which Ford, Rivian, and Tesla also have their sights on, but it hasn't detailed how or when. The van is a mystery. General Motors refused to comment on the report. It previously announced it will keep Hamtramck open, and invest $3 billion to build electric vehicles there. The investment will create 2,225 jobs. Inaugurated in February 1985, the Hamtramck factory has churned out a diverse selection of models over the past 34 years, including Cadillac's Eldorado, Seville, and Allante, the Oldsmobile Toronado, the Buick Riviera, and more recently, gasoline-electric Chevrolet Volt. General Motors announced plans to close Hamtramck in 2018, but it quickly backpedaled and extended its lease on life until 2020 by keeping the Chevrolet Impala and the Cadillac CT6 around for a few additional months.
eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
