----------REDUCED PRICE---------- ----------LOW RESERVE---------- This is a very nice and clean 1993 GMC S15 Sonoma extended cab truck. It has the very powerful and reliable 4.3 Liter V6 engine, with a rock solid automatic transmission. It is absolutely beautiful, and there aren't very many S15's for sale in this condition. Even the S10's are getting hard to find like this (un-molested and straight with no rust) and they aren't worth as much. Please refer to the Kelley Blue Book for the value of a 1993 S15 in this condition, it is a nice surprise that they are worth in excess of my reserve price, and CLIMBING steadily. The tires are 4 months old, having about 90-95% tread. Brakes are very good, all pads are at 85-90% condition. Included in this sale are the original Sonoma wheels as well, with tires on them at about 50% wear. Interior is very nice and super clean, with minimal wear for 20yrs. Dash has brand new black dash pad installed today (Jan 28) (see my feedback and look through orders) Engine DOES NOT smoke. It is rock solid and very powerful. No misses at all, and super strong. Engine fires up and comes to idle from choke as designed even in 15 degree weather, heater works very well too. Throttle body is very clean. My Grandfather always supplemented STA-BIL in every fill-up. This truck is in excellent condition. It has never been abused in any way, never lowered, never modified (except for the muffler, which is an improvement) My Son and I have literally gone through every square inch of it. It was owned my Grandfather and his common law wife. It was their 'trip truck' that they used for visiting family, and never driven in bad weather. Oil was changed religiously, and I know this because I did it whenever it needed to be done when the dealership service plan stopped. This week, I had a Jegs 30235 chambered muffler installed with twin turn-downs at the axle. This muffler gives the truck a very nice and deep sound, while freeing up horsepower and gas mileage (which was around 23mpg, now better). Photos below were taken BEFORE the tailpipe was removed. The original muffler and oem tailpipe is also included in this sale, which is a rust free, in-new condition OEM muffler. New muffler was installed in such a way as to be reversible back to the original with minimal effort. Also (pictured) is a brand new Kenwood stereo/cd deck. It features full WMA MP3 playback, external port, and auxiliary subwoofer outputs (and they WORK). This deck is 2 weeks old, box and warranty included. Peripheral speakers (4) are also new. Truck includes bed liner in excellent condition, not sure if is factory installed, but it was on since new as I remember. Over the past month, we've gone through and replaced a lot of parts as preventive maintenance. There was only one part that may have been malfunctioning, which was the heater core or the heater hoses, so we replaced all of it. Original copper heater core is included in this sale as well. Below is a listing of new parts ALL WITHIN THIS MONTH: Dash pad (aftermarket addition to dash, very nice) Jegs 30235 chambered 40 series muffler Serpentine belt Tensioner pulley Idler pulley Thermostat Heater core Heater hoses (both) Radiator hoses (both) Spark plugs Spark plug wires Ignition coil Distributer cap Distributer rotor Alternator rebuild (professional) Air filter Vacuum lines Fuel filter Oil Differential lube oil ALL light bulbs, inside and out (turn/tail/stop/reverse/headlamps, and all interior bulbs too) The battery was replaced in late 2012. I'm sure there's more, and I'll amend this ad when/if I can think of it. Ok, here's the flaws of the truck, nothing big but we haven't gotten to them yet: -The headliner is in good condition (no tears) but needs to be taken down and re-adhered with interior adhesive. It is currently 'pinned' up until repair. -The a/c works, but needs re-charged. We found a leak at the recharge fitting, replaced it and pressure tested, but haven't bought the Freon, no priority in winter. -The cowl next to the windshield could need repainting. It looks ok, but they are known to fleck or peel easily and this one has done it. We've done a quick touch-up until warmer weather allows us to attend to it. -The passenger side front fender clearcoat is flecking. Easy fix but too cold and we don't have a shop. About a $10 fix. Paint is perfect though. This is all I can think of. This truck has a 'rebuild' title. In 1997 it was driven through a minor flood in Arkansas. We took the truck and immediately dried everything out. The insurance company "totaled" it but my Grandfather liked it so much he bought it back and had the GM dealership replace engine and transmission that are VIN specific and NUMBERS MATCHING for this truck, all electronic components were replaced as well. There is absolutely NO damage evident from this incident 16 years ago, inside or out., not a speck of rust, damage, or mildewing of ANY kind. The truck was fixed and driven by him until he died, whereas it went to Texas with his then widowed wife. After her death it came to me. Please feel free to use the vehicle history option here on ebay. This truck has had 5 legal owners, all within my family, and always maintained by me (since I'm apparently the family mechanic): My Grandfather>Insurance Co.>My Grandfather>My Grandmother>and Me. Buyer does not pay until satisfactory inspection of this truck. Bring whatever you need to check this truck. Compression tester, OBD I scanner, no problem, I have plenty of patience and do the same myself. Buyer will still get positive feedback even if the truck doesn't sell when inspected. However, winning bidder must come to see the vehicle, therefore only serious bidders! We llive in Mena, Arkansas, 65 miles south of Fort Smith. For ANY questions or additional photos please call me at 479-216-1988. I will also send videos upon request as well. There are no secrets to this vehicle, ask and I will answer. We are only getting rid of it because we need a nice family car, as our Durango is a gas hog. If you happen to have a nice one for trade, CALL ME.

GM updating fullsize pickups for 2015
Sat, 10 May 2014As Ford prepares to hit the market with its x-factor, aluminum-intensive F-150 and Ram sales stand tall enough to meet General Motors truck sales eye-to-eye, GM is putting the word out that it's going to add more features to its trucks and do so more regularly. An executive engineer for pickups told reporters that "a whole array" of changes are on the way as soon as the 2015 model year and then would likely come "the year after that, the year after that, the year after that."
Only GM knows the way it plans to go with its fullsize trucks, with almost everyone else - including its dealers - griping about market share at the same time as they applaud profits and hope for clarity and growth. GM raised prices on the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra not long after launch even as it was losing market share and getting called "the least successful large pickup launch over the last 15 years," further upsetting dealers, then Ram outsold the Silverado in March of this year and led GM to increase incentives. But transaction prices rose with the premium; in the first quarter of this year more than 37 percent of the trucks costing more than $40,000 were the Silverado and Sierra, leading one dealer to say of the Sierra, "You can't sell a cheap one," and the analyst who made that "least successful launch" comment to opine, "GM may have made the right call to go for price over share."
We won't know for a few months what any of these updates will be, but the rumored changes for the Silverado and Sierra appear to cover all the bases, including appearance, capability and fuel economy. Rumors run to higher gear counts, stop-start technology and diesel engines before brand-new pickups come for the 2019 model year, those next-generation models supposedly to be engineered with a lot more aluminum.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
370,000 new Silverado and Sierra pickups recalled over fire risk
Fri, 10 Jan 2014General Motors announced late Friday that it will recall around 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra fullsize pickups from the 2014 model year over a possible fire risk. The recall covers select 4.3-liter V6 and 5.3-liter V8 models, which can evidently suffer engine compartment fires due to the overheating of exhaust components. GM notes that the fire issue may be preceded by a check engine light and an "engine power reduced" message on the driver information display.
Thus far, GM is aware of eight fires stemming from this problem (although only three of those incidents affected customer-owned vehicles), and all of the fires were reported in areas with "very cold weather." GM is urging owners to not leave their vehicles unintended while idling. No injuries have resulted from the fires in question.
The Detroit-based automaker has pledged to start mailing out recall letters on January 16. The fix, which involves software reprogramming, is estimated to be a 20-minute repair, and will be made free of charge.
