I am
selling my 1998 Chevy Suburban 1500 6.5L turbo diesel 4x4
(electronic), this is technically a 2500 as it has 8-lug
wheels with a 14 bolt 9.5 rear axle & 3:42 gears with
the same frame and suspension as the 2500. The only difference between
the 90s model year diesel Suburban 1500 and 2500, is the
2500 has the 14 bolt 10.5 w/3:73 or 4:10 gears and 2500
badge. The two are both rated at 3/4 ton, just mine has
a 1500 badged with 3:42 gears from the factory with a
GVW of 8050 lbs (2500 is 8600 lbs). So this would still
make a good tow rig as it is a 3/4 ton Suburban. This is
100% factory, the diesel was a rare beast that was still
a 3/4 ton, but had a 1500 badge. The 1500 is also more
rare and with the 3:42 gears it makes a great cruising
truck for those long road trips for fuel mileage.
Average if you keep from rolling coal is about 18mpg.
This has "F" code L65 no EGR engine with a 4L60e
transmission, the PMD has been relocated to under
the bumper. I replaced the motor mounts
with Energy Suspension polyurethane motor mounts, not
the cheap rubber ones so they will last ($400). There is
a slight oil leak on one of the cooler lines near the
front cooler. I have the replacement lines, but never
changed it out. The ABS light is on, but brakes are fine
and were recently replaced by the previous owner. These
are the only two issues, otherwise the truck is fine.
Starts every time and runs great as it was always well
maintained with regular oil changes using Rotella with
backflow valve oil filter. I just did a trans service on
it, the previous owner also kept up with them.
The
4X4 works well and both Hi and Low function normally, it
is electronic shifting. This also has a 4x4 auto that I
have used in heavy rain and helps to get traction when
starting. It does shift into and out of neutral with the
crazy method as found in the manual. I have tested the
neutral shift just in case I ever needed to put it into
neutral.
The
previous owner spent some
money modifying the truck as well. From Heath Diesel we
have; Super Flow 4" exhaust, 2-1/2" cross over for
Turbo, BOSH high output injectors, Max E Tork
programming and spring actuated waste gate. It used to
have a K&N filter, but it was getting old and I just
replaced it with a OEM filter.
It
has leather interior with power driver seats, windows,
locks, cruise, title wheel, etc. (See window sticker
picture). Aftermarket radio with
MP3/CD/USB and good speakers. I added large trailer tow
mirrors and are powered ($250). Driver seat has the
common tear on the side and a rip in the rear seat
center, also has the third row seat. All the seats move
correctly and leather is still good. The visors are
wearing out, but still work (mirror is missing from
driver visor). The interior is in good shape for it's
age and seems to have never been smoked in. The guy I
got it from did not smoke and the ash trays are clean.
I replaced the wheels with 17" H2 alloy
with BF Goodrich All Terrain M/T tires. These are 8-lug
and fit perfectly on the Suburban and look great. I will
include the original 16" wheels and still good tread
245/75R16 tires. I just wanted the cooler look of the H2
wheels.
The
paint clear coat is starting to peal on the passenger
front fender. You can see this in one of the images
above.
Runs and drives great and been a daily driver since I have owned it. I really hate to sell it,
but I need to part with one vehicle and this was it.
Times change and I need to part with this Suburban, so
please take care of my baby if you win.

The
original headlights and parking/turn lights
were really fogged and needed to be
replaced. I do allot of night driving and
need good clear bright lights. I never liked
the look of those composite halogen lights
and preferred the work truck style single
glass headlights. So I installed the grille,
headlights and parking lights from the work
truck and I think it looks so much better.
The headlights are the new style glass H4
bulbs and new corner parking lights. I also
installed a relay harness so they are much
brighter as power is true 12v from the
battery. The daytime running lights were
disabled with no dash light showing they are
on (card pulled). This is a simple swap out
to the work truck look as all the parts are
a direct fit with no modifications needed.
The sealed beam H4 lights are 10x brighter
over the dual lights, especially the
hi-beam.
I also
added a brush guard that was Bullet Lined
with UV protection. |

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
