Vehicle Relisted, was in the wrong category:

Up for auction is my 1994 GMC K2500 6.5L Diesel Suburban. I bought this suburban about 3 years ago from Minneapolis. It fits 8 with

the two front bucket seats and the (2) rear 3 passenger benches. This truck is in very good condition and has been very well

maintained. It has been one of my favorite vehicles. Unstoppable in the snow, and able to tow anything I've asked it to. All while

getting 15mpg around town and 20mpg+ on the highway. At 153.5k, this diesel has a long life ahead of it.

Since I bought it I have done the following:


Maintenance / Repairs

- 4 New Michelin LTX M/S2 Tires (about 5k miles on them)
- 2 New Interstate Batteries
- 8 New Bosch Injectors
- New SSDiesel Stainless Turbo-Back 4" Exhaust
- 4 New Shocks
- New SSDiesel Performance Intake
- New SSDiesel High Output Alternator
- New Thermostat/gasket
- New Drive Belt
- New Vaccuum hoses
- New Vaccuum pump
- New Headlight Switch
- New 4x4 Actuator
- New Intake gasket
- Autometer gauges on the A Pillar (Pyrometer + Boost)
- Tranny temp below steering wheel

Oil has been changed every 3k with Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Synthetic Oil, which meets the diesel oil requirements for this truck.

I'll try to mention everything a new owner would want to know that needs attention, but I'm sure there could be some things I missed.

Body:

The truck is 20 years old now, so there are the expected minor scratches chips in the paint. The clear coat on the roof and hood has

started to peel and could use some attention. The front plastic grill is slightly cracked from my knee while I was working under the

hood. The body/frame has ZERO RUST with the exception of the cheap aftermarket running boards put on by the previous owner, which can

be easily removed (6 bolts).

Inside:

There are some stains on the seats inside, but nothing too bad. They would all probably come out with some carpet cleaner. The floors

are all covered with all-weather mats. There looks to be a small burn in the 3rd seat in the rear from the previous owner. All the

power windows work, but the drivers window controls for the passenger seats probably needs to be replaced. All the windows open and

close from their respective seats though. The rear latch window will open if you have somebody standing there to pull it, but it won't

open on its own from pulling the switch.

Mechanical:

To my knowledge, there are no mechanical issues with the truck. It runs great, lots of power. Heat and AC work, 4x4 works. There is a

minor oil leak from the drivers side valve cover gasket (easily replaced). The tranny pan gasket also seems to have a slight drip. I

was going to replace it with a high capacity pan and change the gasket but I didn't get to it yet. The front brake pads still have

some meat on them, but I was thinking I would probably replace them this summer.

I'm confident that the vehicle could be driven home to anywhere without worry. Good luck bidding and please let me know of any

questions BEFORE bidding.

Note to all bidders:

I realize that I posted this item in the wrong category.... GMC:OTHER instead of GMC:Suburbans. I'm going to cancel this auction and relist it in GMC:Suburbans at the current auction price.

Regular-cab, short-bed Chevy Silverado Trail Boss pickup looks great

Fri, Jul 30 2021

For all the wild popularity of full-size pickups, there's one configuration that U.S. buyers are no longer offered: the regular-cab, short-bed truck. Interestingly, however, GM still does make this configuration, and both the Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra are offered with it — in the Mexican market. That body style, however, is available solely in ultra-basic work-truck form. But a custom wheel shop, JC Wheels in the Mexican city of Culiacan, has converted one of these Silverados to Trail Boss trim, and we're digging the result. The sporty shorty Silverado Trail Boss comes to our attention via GM Authority, after the shop posted it on their Instagram feed. The shop added a 3-inch lift, assist steps, Chevy alloy wheels, a Trail Boss front fascia including red tow hooks, and Trail Boss badging. They also added dark window tint, which seems like a good idea in sunny Mexico. In the U.S., the Silverado Trail Boss isn't offered at all in regular-cab form; it only can be had as a double cab or a crew cab, the latter with a choice of a short bed or standard bed. But size is often a hindrance for trucks that actually get driven on trails, where this regular-cab, short-bed variant's smaller wheelbase would be an advantage. Beyond that, the Trail Boss upgrades keep this configuration from looking like a basic-spec machine. That's even more true of the same outfit's previous efforts: the conversion of the GMC Sierra regular-cab, short-bed pickup into a Denali. With so many buyers choosing pickups as personal-use vehicles, it's not hard to think that this configuration could find an audience here. But the key would be to do as this Mexican firm has done and offer it in the desirable off-road and luxury trims, rather than as a basic work truck. Would you buy one? Sound off in the comments below. The next step would be to use this configuration as the basis of a full-size, two-door SUV, in the mold of the classic Chevy K5 Blazer and GMC Jimmy.

GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing

Tue, Sep 29 2015

The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.

GM opens official investigation into C8 Corvette transmission leaks

Mon, Nov 1 2021

In March 2020, a month after Chevrolet began customer deliveries of the 2020 C8 Corvette, a GM dealer technician created a Reddit thread about a leaking gearbox in a Corvette with 32 miles. That car hadn't even been sold yet. Since then, as a search of "C8 Corvette transmission leak" shows, it's been tales of woe for some owners. Something in the Tremec TR-9080 transaxle in the back of the mid-engined Corvette doesn't work as it should, the fault able to cause codes that the transmission needs service, or that the driver needs to shift to park. In some cases, the battery would die because of follow-on issues after the initial transmission code, that code preventing the car from powering down. As Autoevolution reports, GM filed paperwork with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in August to look into what's going on. Between forum threads and GM's investigation document, there are several issues mentioned. The most common appears to be the dual-clutch transmission leaking fluid due to gasket failures like the one suffered by one owner at 858 miles, and another for an owner currently enduring a second leaking transmission. The Midengined Corvette Forum reported that Chevy engineers redesigned the TR-9080 pan, fitting Corvettes with the new unit at some point in the 2021 model year. The original pan was stamped steel unit affixed to the engine with two studs and 13 bolts, plus "reinforcement plates." The updated pan is said to be a cast aluminum unit affixed with two studs and 17 bolts, omits the reinforcement plates, and gets a new machined new groove around its edge to seat the gasket seal. The GM paperwork now at the NHTSA mentions a P1789 code, and says one reason for it could be "debris on the park position sensor magnet causing an incorrect position reading to the TCM." This might be caused by another issue mentioned in forums, which is clogged transmission filters. GM gives instructions for returning transmission filters to the company, and a poster on one forum said the Corvette tech at the dealer where he bought his Corvette told him the automaker "requires every used transmission filter to be returned to GM."  Whatever's going on, the problems haven't stopped, and they go beyond the P1789 code. Over the weekend, a 2022 Corvette owner posted on Corvette Forums that he got a check engine light on his car after just 850 miles.
