This is MY PERSONAL WORK TRUCK. This is a great work truck; uncommonly clean for it's year, new load range E tires, nice lines, good looking, well-maintained rig. Brand new everything mechanical, kept up with everything, just inspected, just passed, just registered--you won't have to do anything but pay for it, insure it and put it to work.   The Texas title is in my name.  The truck does have a full size spare, mounted under the bed in the stock location.  I have all the jack components, a bottle jack and OEM accessories that will come with the truck. 

New or recent:  Gas Tank, lift pump, electric injector pump, injectors (all), line, hoses, coolant flush, batteries, (dual), starter.
 Two sets of keys for ignition and all the locks on the chassis--which are included. So is the Wilton Vise. 
Trailer brakes, electric hook-ups for 5, 6 and seven-pin connectors. Gooseneck is on 1/2" plate tied into the frame of the bed. The bumper hitch 2" receiver is a class III/grade 10 hardware with dual-sided fillet welds.
You will not be disappointed. I have 200 hours+ in a custom made / modified 8' CM bed, with tank recesses, easy-lift gated / lockable tank access, (made so you only have to lift your tanks about 10 inches up).  The bed has tank locking chains, and are all double chain / tension secured.  LED lights throughout, RKI boxes--you name it, this is a very nice work truck. Has room in the RKI boxes for 20+ HD 100' extension cords, 300' of 02 ought lead(s), All your welding tools, cutting torches, line and regulators, 12T bottle jack and lug wrenches and as much rod, wire & gear as you can pack in. You can sleep in the back seat because you really don't need to put anything inside the truck--there is PLENTY of storage. I kept my Miller high output box in the truck for easy access.
On the bed itself, there is plenty of illumination, both for work and on the highway. The diamond plate 1/8" steel deck is in PERFECT Condition.  There is also Fresh reflective tape all around.

Suspension is an Air Ride, and it is set up independently, so that you can adjust your ride according to your weight on one side or the other.  The bed is 92" wide and 8' long.
 You will be impressed with the quality and workmanship of every single welded joint in the bed.

No Rust.  Not anywhere, in the cab, chassis or the bed.  This truck is in EXCELLENT condition.  This is a Texas truck, in my name, currently registered and driven every day.
 This is a great truck, but I came into a nice '01 4x4 Crew Cab Duramax Diesel that I couldn't pass up for the price. I am NOT selling any of my welding equipment on the bed of the truck in the pictures EXCEPT THE vise, and I'm only selling that because I don't want anyone to have big holes at the back and not be able to get another vise with the same base--you won't find another Wilton like this for sale, anywhere, it has an 8" throat and is in near PRISTINE condition.
The truck is located at our home in Harker Heights, TX, about 9 minutes East of the Fort Hood Main Gate, 14 miles West of I-35 in Temple, TX, 55 minutes NNE of Austin, TX and 4.5 hours SSW of Dallas Fort Worth.

***19JAN2014  2030 hrs**** These questions have been asked by interested parties.  I am answering them  all here for everyone's benefit: 

Q:  Does the truck have good glow plugs? 

A:  The truck had all glow plugs replaced 560 miles ago.  At that time all the injectors were also replaced.  I elected to buy the complete system maintenance package; all glow plugs, injectors, pump and pressure lines.

Q: Does the truck have any known maintenance issues? 

A:  No, it's solid.  Recent maintenance was the entire front end was checked, aligned and new tires mounted and balanced.  The truck is hard to start on cold(er) mornings where the temp gets into the low 40's and below.  It DOES have a block heater installed and it IS operational; which makes cold morning starting easy.  Without it plugged in, below 45, she is a hard starting truck.

Q:  What gears are in the rear differential?

A:  Gear ratio is 4:56 gears.  That translates to a top speed of 65 mph under load.  She can pull anything you hook up to her.

Q: Is there any white smoke on cold-start?

A: Yes, there is a little, typical of a 6.5 TD with 233K miles, but no more than my '01 on cold start.

Q: Does the truck use any oil?

A: Yes, about 1/4 quart every 500 miles

Q:  Will you take a cash offer in person?

A:  Yes, check "Cars and Trucks," Craigslist, Killeen, TX, check search box "entire post," and enter "Welding Rig."  You will find my truck for sale locally with many more pictures.

Q:  Can the truck be ready to sell / picked up immediately?

A:  Yes.  I am a welder.  I have all the heavy equipment necessary to remove the equipment off the truck and have it ready for you immediately.  I meant what I said when I wrote:  "I will pick you up at the airport."  I will have, in the truck, 3 quarts of 15-40W oil and it will be full of gas.  That will get you to California or New York City.  The title is a Texas Title, in my name.  You can write in what you want on a Bill of Sale that will be placed in your hand at the airport.  I will do whatever I can to make the transition easy for you.  My truck deserves a good home.  It got me started and it got me a great job.  It will do the same for you.

2015 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition goes dark, looks good

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

Forget about the so-called sporty Chevrolet Silverado Rally Edition. If you want a General Motors pickup with some added style, this one looks like a more cohesive, well-done package to our eyes (though it's also not "sporty," despite GM using that term over and over again). It's called the GMC Sierra Elevation Edition, and it hits dealerships later this year.
For its more stylish truck, GMC has fitted the 2015 Sierra Double Cab with a body-colored grille surround, door handles, mirror caps, side moldings and bumpers. The truck also rides on black 20-inch aluminum wheels.
The Elevation Edition, which GMC contends qualifies as a sport truck, comes standard with the Sierra's 285-horsepower, 4.3-liter V6, though buyers can opt for the more powerful 5.3-liter V8 with 355 hp. Other standard goodies include OnStar with 4G LTE connectivity and Bluetooth, all housed in the 4.2-inch Intellilink color display.

GM seeks national mandate for zero-emissions cars

Fri, Oct 26 2018

DETROIT — General Motors says it will ask the federal government for one national gas mileage standard, including a requirement that a percentage of auto companies' sales be zero-emissions vehicles. Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president of product development, said the company will propose that a certain percentage of nationwide sales be made up of vehicles that run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells. GM says a nationwide program modeled on such a requirement in California could result in 7 million electric vehicles, or EVs, on U.S. roads by 2030. California wants 15.4 percent of vehicle sales by 2025 to be EVs or other zero emission vehicles. Nine other states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, have adopted those requirements. In January, California Governor Jerry Brown set a target of 5 million zero-emission vehicles in California by 2030. The Trump administration criticizes California's ZEV mandate, saying it requires automakers to spend tens of billions of dollars developing vehicles that most consumers do not want, only to sell them at a loss. Reuss told reporters that governments and industries in Asia and Europe "are working together to enact policies now to hasten the shift to an all-electric future. It's very simple: America has the opportunity to lead in the technologies of the future." A national mandate also would create jobs and reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and "make EVs more affordable," Reuss added. GM, the nation's largest automaker, will spell out the request Friday in written comments on a Trump administration proposal to roll back Obama-era fuel economy and emissions standards, freezing them at 2020 levels instead of gradually making them tougher. Under a regulation finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency at the end of the Obama administration, the fleet of new automobiles would have to get 36 miles per gallon by 2025, 10 mpg higher than the current requirement. But the Trump administration's preferred plan is to freeze the standards starting in 2021. Administration officials say waiving the tougher fuel efficiency requirements would make vehicles more affordable, which would get safer cars into consumer hands more quickly. GM on Thursday said it doesn't support the freeze, but wants flexibility to deal with consumers' shift from cars to less-efficient SUVs and trucks.

Huge, pricey trucks haul jobs and profits for the Detroit Three

Tue, Feb 5 2019

DECATUR, Texas — Mickey McMaster is on his 12th pickup truck. The 61-year old farm equipment dealer in Decatur, Texas, two weeks ago treated himself to a 2019 GMC Denali for around $69,000 — a reward for long hours at work. "For me this is the Cadillac of trucks, it's a real luxury vehicle," McMaster said. "I've worked my way up to afford a truck like this and it shows that I've earned it." McMaster is the kind of customer General Motors Co is banking on as it plans to add 1,000 jobs at a plant in Flint, Michigan that will build a new generation of its largest pickups. Demand from Texas and other heartland states for big pick-ups is providing a lifeline to many workers the No. 1 U.S. automaker is laying off at plants elsewhere. The Detroit Three automakers and thousands of their U.S. workers are counting on customers like McMaster to keep buying bigger and more luxurious pickup trucks even if overall U.S. vehicle demand weakens this year, as most analysts predict. At Flint, GM will build a new generation of its heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierras, including luxury models that are some of the most profitable vehicles on the planet. GM, Ford Motor Co and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Ram division own the segment and are each doubling down with new or redesigned models launching this year. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM on Tuesday celebrated the launch of a new generation of heavy-duty GMC and Chevrolet pickups at the assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, that is now building all such trucks for the company. At the same time that GM is laying off thousands of U.S. workers and planning to shutter five North American factories, Flint is hiring. The plant runs on three daily shifts, six days a week. As the new model's assembly system ramps up, the plant's capacity will increase by more than 25 percent, plant manager Mike Perez told Reuters. The Flint plant plans to add 1,000 workers, more than half of the 1,500 factory workers who have asked to transfer from plants GM has targeted for shutdown as part of CEO Mary Barra's restructuring plan. "We're bringing in 50 to 100 people every week," said Perez. Workers last week were still finishing the job of retooling the Flint factory to build the new heavy-duty trucks as part of a $1.5 billion investment project.
