1994 GMC SLT 3500 Dually Extended cab. 2WD, 6.5L TD, A/T, cold A/C, Heat, dual batteries, electronic injector pump. Thousands in Brand NEW parts over the past three years. READY TO WORK, needs NOTHING but a driver and diesel--and it comes with a FULL tank of fresh diesel!
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.
I will pick you up at the Killeen Airport and you can drive the truck to Bismark if you want. You won't have ANY issues with my truck.
TEXT or Voice call with your questions, or ask through E-Bay corrospondence.  I would prefer Pay Pal or Cash in person.  $500.00 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hrs of sale.  Thanks.

***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.

What the electric Hummer's size and weight means for its efficiency

Sat, Dec 3 2022

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1. Tim Levin/Insider If you think driving a pint-sized Nissan Leaf is as good for the planet as driving a huge electric Hummer, think again.  The GMC Hummer EV uses significantly more electricity than other EVs, meaning it produces more pollution upstream.  The electric Hummer weighs 9,000 pounds and its battery weighs as much as a Honda Civic. The new electric Hummer rolls through town without a deafening engine rumble or a cloud of toxic fumes, but it doesn't exactly tread lightly.  The colossal truck weighs an astonishing 9,000 pounds. (Think two Toyota Tacomas, three Honda Civics, or 24 Shaquille O'Neals.) Moreover, the GMC Hummer EV is in many ways a supersized gas guzzler for a new era. It repackages many of the same flaws of hulking SUVs and trucks of years past — and proves not all zero-emission cars are created equal. EVs can be energy guzzlers too On the whole, electric cars use less energy than gas-powered ones. But they aren't all equally efficient.  No surprise here: The Hummer needs more electricity than any other EV on the market to move its elephantine frame. The Environmental Protection Agency rates the pickup at 47 MPGe (miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent). For comparison, the Tesla Model 3 sedan is nearly three times as efficient, earning a rating of 132 MPGe. The Ford F-150 Lightning, another electric truck, gets 70 MPGe.  This has real consequences: Since the US gets 61% of its energy from oil, coal, and natural gas, the more electricity a car needs, the more pollution it creates upstream.  As the Union of Concerned Scientists put it: "Both EV cars and trucks are much cleaner than their gasoline counterparts, but electric trucks are responsible for more global warming emissions than electric cars simply because trucks are larger and heavier."  The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1. Tim Levin/Insider The Hummer EV is also resource-intensive to manufacture, requiring a ginormous (and weighty) battery to give people the 300-plus miles of range they desire. You could produce three Chevrolet Bolts with the same battery cells consumed by one Hummer.

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
