----------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 warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level
Fri, May 11 2018When the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 half-ton pickup was revealed, it was shown in the ultra-deluxe Denali trim with its carbon fiber bed and trick tailgate. And thanks to spy shots, we've been able to see the more modest SLE a few months ago. Now we get to see it in the most plain work truck iteration thanks to the above photos. This Sierra doesn't appear to have any trim designation. The SLE we saw had a badge in the lower left of the tailgate, but none appear on this except "Sierra." This fits with the current trim scheme for the Sierra, which calls the basic one simply by its model name. In addition to less badging, this Sierra ditches most of the chrome found on other trim levels. The grille insert is plain black plastic, as are the fender vents, door handles and window trim. There aren't engine badges, either. Currently the only engines announced for the Sierra are the gasoline 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s and the diesel 3.0-liter six-cylinder. We would assume from the basic nature of this truck that it has the 5.3-liter V8. Nothing has been announced about a gasoline V6 for the new generation of Sierra and Silverado pickup trucks, despite a 4.3-liter V6 still being available on the 2018 model. Also, since this is a base Sierra, the bed is all steel and the tailgate is one big panel. Pricing still hasn't been revealed for the Sierra. But this and the other Sierra trims will go on sale in the fall, with pricing likely announced sometime in-between. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
