Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This is originally a Georgia truck, so body the body is great. Tranmission is burnt. It will no go in 3rd gear. Intake also leaks but it does run. The interior is not great."

This truck was originally a Georgia truck. I bought it off of Ebay about 5 years ago.  It has been a great truck. That was up until last week when the transmission burnt while my wife was driving it.  It will still go in 1st and 2nd but won't shift into 3rd. The fluid is brown so I know that is not good. At this same time it somehow developed a horrible intake gasket leak. But the engine does run. It has always ran well and hasn't used much oil. The 4x4 is the stick style and it works good.


Because of most of it's life in Georgia it wasn't exposed to salt like vehicles are during Indiana winters, the body is in rust free condition. The frame still had the factory black paint on it when it got here from Georgia and it is still in great condition. The clear coat is peeling along the bed rails, hood, and roof etc. The is a small ding in the drivers door but it barely noticeable. Tailgate is in good condition but the handle doesn't work well. To the best of my knowledge it has never been wrecked. The interior isn't great.

I was really torn about the decision to fix it or sell it. Obviously I decided to sell it.  I have decided to downsize in trucks. Going to go with a smaller crew cab truck.
If the clear coat wasn't peeling I would almost say the body was in excellent condition and that is where I see the value in this truck. You just don't find a truck of this age this rust free in Indiana.

This is going to be a short auction because I have found the truck I want to purchase and need to sell it.  I took the pictures when it was raining so that is why the pics look the way they do.  I will take more pics tomorrow and add them (if ebay lets me?). I just wanted to get this auction started.

Please ask me any questions you may have. If you want a picture of something in particular let me know and I will add it or email it to you.

Thank you and Good Luck Bidding!

Next GMC Sierra Denali accidentally leaked on consumer site

Fri, 03 May 2013

Thanks to the quick-to-screen-shot folks at GM Authority, we now have our first look at what is likely the 2014-15 GMC Sierra Denali. GMA reports that the image you see here was temporarily posted on the GMC consumer site, though as you can see now, when you scroll over the "trucks" tab, the image has been removed.
GM Authority states that because the truck in this image wears a blacked-out lower bumper, redesigned grille insert and shiny wheels, this has got to be the upmarket Denali version of the fully redesigned 2014 model year Sierra. The Chevrolet Silverado will be getting a similar treatment, as we've seen in recent spy shots, dubbed the High Country.
Expect the Sierra Denali to ride on large, unique wheels (the one we spied earlier this year was fitted with 21-inch rollers), and feature a huge helping of luxurious interior amenities, as well as premium features like xenon headlamps. An official on-sale date for the Denali has not been released, though it's been reported that the high-grade Sierra, along with its Silverado counterpart, will arrive after the Texas State Fair this summer.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
