1986 Gmc K1500 4x4 Suburban With Lift on 2040-cars

I bought this suburban in 2010, after having watched it sit idle in an apartment complex parking lot for 2 years. It has that classic 80's look that is so hard to find, especially in this shape. The young fella I bought it off of had pulled it out of a hayfield, where it had sat with blown heads for awhile already. He did a lot to get it back on the road including rebuilding those heads, installing the current lift and putting 33's on it.
Since I acquired it, I've had a rebuilt motor from a '93 put in it. IMO it needs a better rebuild; lifters tap a bit still. Initially it had a lot of blow by from the rebreather and still has a leak at the harmonic balancer. We put a 4 core full brass radiator in it. It has an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold. K&N filter. In the past year I've also had a new transmission installed. IMO the install is a little rough. I'm by no means a mechanic, more accurately a "diagnostician". I don't have much "how to fix it" knowledge, let alone tools, space and time to do it. I had hoped to park it, strip it and rebuild it at my leisure but because of issues with another vehicle, we put it on the road as a daily driver. It gets about 10mpg as it is now. Cold starts great. The differential has a new seal, fluid and the gears looked great. Transfer case runs perfect and shifts in and out easily. The front axel has self locking hubs. Dash cluster is completely shot. The lights work but none of the gauges, I'm pretty sure the copper circuit pad is too damaged and needs to be replaced. I haven't put the dash back together but still have the dash and the plastic cluster pieces. The steering column has been rebuilt as well. The doors need to be adjusted and re shimmed. 2 of the windows are cracked but not broken due to being hit by flying rocks from a weed whacker. All of the rubber door seals need to be replaced as well. Full front bench seat. Full middle seat and it still has the seat for the 3rd row. I have a spare tire for it. The vehicle has minimal rust. There is some on the right rear quarter panel (rusted behind the chrome trim, which has been removed) and a spot on a kick plate has a hole. The rust has come about from sitting in that hayfield in the Texas rain and doesn't appear to be major except maybe the hole. IMO could be fixed easily. There is no "road rust" like you would find in cars from up north, like in the wheel wells or undercarriage. In all honesty, it's in great shape body wise. It has the rear tailgate with the electric rear window. All of the windows, locks, etc are electric. The title is free and clear and in my possession. To the best of my knowledge the odometer has rolled and an accurate mileage cannot be given. There is approximately 25k miles since the rebuilt motor was installed and approximately 10k on the transmission. The right person can take this awesome suburban with really good bones and finish what I started. I would love to keep it but I am going from the Texas hill country to the dfw metroplex and that has forced me to make a hard choice. It's impractical for me to drive it in such a large city and I have nowhere to store it. So it's time to let someone else enjoy it and I'm absolutely certain that you will enjoy it. *please read carefully the following information* - As stated above, I am relocating. I need the transaction dealt with quickly, as outlined in the listing and the vehicle picked up ASAP. Delivery MAY be possible if you are within a reasonable distance and for an additional fee. - I have done my best to represent the condition of the vehicle as best I can but IT IS USED. It is sold AS IS. Please read carefully. Please ask questions. More pictures are available if requested. |

GM recalling Silverado and Sierra HD diesel pickups over fuel gauge follies
Fri, 03 Jan 2014General Motors is recalling 9,733 of its heavy-duty twins over concerns with their 6.6-liter diesel engines and dual fuel tanks. The recall covers some Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from model years 2012 and 2013, although the exact dates that the recalled trucks were built isn't specified. There's also no mention of how many models come from Chevrolet and how many are from GMC.
The problem rests with the transfer pump responsible for moving fuel from the rear tank to the front tank - it could fail, resulting in an inaccurate fuel gauge. It hardly requires explaining, but a faulty fuel gauge could leave drivers in a situation where they run out of diesel.
GM will begin notifying customers of affected vehicles, who will be asked to report to their dealers for a free replacement transfer pump.
GM might outsource vans to AM General
Thu, Nov 26 2015General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:
