This is a heavy duty 3/4 ton, 8600# GVW suburban. I am the third owner. I have put 118,000 miles on it. The injection pump was completely overhauled at around 230,000 miles, and had new injectors installed this spring. I have also installed a Heath Diesel PMD isolator kit, and Heath Diesel waste gate actuator. The engine has normal oil leakage around oil pan gasket, and uses around a quart every 5000 miles. The radiator was redone this summer as it had a crack in the inlet tank. the cooling system has no leaks, but tends to show a low coolant light sometimes on the dash, but never gets hot. If you try to add more antifreeze thinking it is low it then becomes to full and just blows out the excess. The check engine light will also come on if it is driven more than 75 mph for an extended distance. The reason it does this, is because of the installation of the mechanical waste gate actuator, and I never have installed a Heath Diesel programmer to go with it. The belts and hoses are in good shape, and has had a new fuel filter installed this spring when injectors were replaced. It also has new engine oil cooler lines that were installed this spring as well. Brand new alternator in the last 5000 miles. Also has a K&N air filter. The transmission shifts and works as it should with no hesitations. It had been rebuilt by the previous owner not long before I purchased the vehicle, it is a 4L80E heavy duty. The 4x4 works excellent. I have changed the actuator to the newer style that kicks in much faster than the original. The axle ratio is 4.10. Air conditioning works very well, the whole system was flushed, and new compressor, dryer, orifice tube and rear expansion valve was installed in September of 2013. It has front and rear air with no rear heat. As for the cosmetics of the vehicle, it looks about average for a vehicle with this age and mileage. It has the normal door dings, scratches, and rock chips. The worst place is on the hood where the clear coat is peeling off and a long scratch on the passenger side. The interior has normal wear and a stains. It does have a small hole in the driver seat, and the rest of the seats are just fine. There is a place about the size of your hand in the carpet in the rear cargo area where the previous owner had turned over a battery and leaked some acid, then got it on his hand and touched the upholstery on the side panel. It looked like this when I bought it and hasn't gotten any worse. The gages all work except for the trip meter. It has an aftermarket CD/MP3 am/fm JVC stereo. It has 235/85/R16 Firestone Transforce A/T load range E tires mounted on American Racing aluminum rims. The tires are at around 30% tread. The fuel tank is 42 gallon. My wife used this as her run around vehicle/grocery getter and usually got around 15 MPG on average. Still being driven, so mileage could be increased by time of sale. We occasionally used this vehicle to pull our 6000# camper and it handles it like a champ. Fuel mileage does decrease down to around 12 mpg when trailering. The reason for getting rid of this vehicle is we upgraded to a 2005 GM diesel 4 door pickup last year and dont really need this one anymore. I am listing this vehicle locally so reserve the right to end the auction at any time. We are located in southern Illinois. Please fell free to call me about any questions at 618-231-2589 or 618-854-2650.

Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new

Thu, Sep 29 2016

To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.
