2003 Gmc Sierra Sle Z71 Pickup on 2040-cars
Eden, New York, United States

Hello Folks,
I am selling my 2003 GM Pickup. I am the second owner of this truck and have owned it for most of its life. I am selling my truck to finance a move to Wyoming, which I will be taking my gas saver to lower my living costs while I am there. I always take a lot of care with, and for my vehicles because I am very passionate about cars. The listing is correct for this truck's transmissin type even though the 5.3 liter was never offered with a mnaul transmission behind it from GM. This one is a 5 speed, with a manual shift transfer case. The original automatic from this truck worked fine, but working on vehicles is a passion of mine, and I enjoy to make them unique and well constructed. I decided to figure out a manual transmission swap for this truck and make it compatible with the 5.3 liter motor. I did my research and completed the conversion in the summer of 2011 and the truck has been running great since, with no issues. I did the swap at 88000 miles and the truck now has almost 147000 miles, so there are 59000 on the transmission and transfer case since I did the conversion. At the time of the conversion, before swapping the transmission and t-case into the truck, I rebuilt them to factory specifications. Aside from this, I have always kept up with oil changes and regular maintenance. I always use full synthetic Amsoil in the motor, and royal purple products for the differentials. The oil was changed last at 143000 miles, so the truck will be due again soon. The differential oil was changed in the front & rear, at the same time I completed the installation of the new transmission and Transfer case. I grease all steering components and anything with a zirk fitting (slip shaft, u-joints, etc...) monthly, and have been in the habit of brushing off any scale rust I find on the frame. At 140000 miles, I replaced all of my valve guide seals, and was pleasantly surprised with how clean the valve train looks. I was impressed so I took a picture and have included it for you to see too. At 120000 miles I had to replace my power steering box which I did with a re manufactured unit. At some point around 80000 miles I replaced the front differential seals and found a bad cv joint/hub during dis-assembly for it, which I replaced with a new Moog unit. **(An interesting note about the seals is to make sure you always keep the vent tube clear. If it clogs, this will cause pressure to build and wear out the seals, as was the case for my truck. I rerouted this tube, to make it more accessible, and now I am in the habit of checking it when I check the oil and belts, and have had no issues since)**. I recently put on new shocks all around-- nothing too fancy; just some dependable gas charged ones by Monroe that I have had good success with on other vehicles, and make for a nice smooth ride. Lastly, this truck has four wheel disc brakes, and I replaced the rear rotors, caliper guide pins and boots this past month. A few negative things I want to point out on the truck; -The throw out bearing can be heard when the truck is running and sitting still. The noise does not affect the drive-ability of the vehicle, and is not audible while driving, which is why I have not replaced it. I have thought a lot about this and I do know that there is a spring that keeps the throw out in contact with the pressure plate and sometimes when old will allow for movement of the throw out away from the fingers. I am suspect of this, but have not felt it necessary to go through the work of removing the slave cylinder to troubleshoot, since I have yet to notice an effect on driving or an increase in noise level. There is a possibility that it could be in the early stages of failure, or have contaminant build up inside it and need cleaning. The part is cheap but the job can take a descent amount of time to complete. If this is the case, I do not want you to be unaware of the possibility prior to purchasing and feel you have been deceived. That is not my intention, I want to sell my truck to another person like me, who is passionate about their vehicles, and will get the same joy out of owning this truck as I have had. - The truck does not have the front portion of the emergency brake cable currently installed. I have the part, but have not installed it, honestly due to my infrequent use of the system. - Most of the time I leave truck in gear when parked, and as a result I do not regularly recall that I need to install it. -The truck has the abs and service brake light on the dash. This is on currently due to a sensor wire that has worn through on the front right tire. I have the replacement sensor for the truck, and will either provide it with the truck to the new owner, or, if you'd like, I can install it for you before you come to pick it up. I have tried my best to describe my truck to you, short of coming to see it. - (Which you are absolutely welcome to do if you live in the Western New York area.) If there is anything else you would like to know about the truck, please do not hesitate to ask! My name is Frank, and you can either reach me through Ebay, or if you'd like, by phone, with either a text message or, preferably, a phone call. I have more pictures available and would be happy to talk about it with you.My number is 716 868 8501. **I don't know how to ship a vehicle cost effectively, so you will have to be able to come get the truck or arrange for the shipping of it. I'll be happy to work with you on that though for instance, if it needs to be picked up, or if you want to put it on the road to drive it home. Best Regards & Thanks! -Frank |

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
2015 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition goes dark, looks good
Fri, 19 Sep 2014Forget about the so-called sporty Chevrolet Silverado Rally Edition. If you want a General Motors pickup with some added style, this one looks like a more cohesive, well-done package to our eyes (though it's also not "sporty," despite GM using that term over and over again). It's called the GMC Sierra Elevation Edition, and it hits dealerships later this year.
For its more stylish truck, GMC has fitted the 2015 Sierra Double Cab with a body-colored grille surround, door handles, mirror caps, side moldings and bumpers. The truck also rides on black 20-inch aluminum wheels.
The Elevation Edition, which GMC contends qualifies as a sport truck, comes standard with the Sierra's 285-horsepower, 4.3-liter V6, though buyers can opt for the more powerful 5.3-liter V8 with 355 hp. Other standard goodies include OnStar with 4G LTE connectivity and Bluetooth, all housed in the 4.2-inch Intellilink color display.
GM recall woes continue with 662,000 pickups trucks and Cruze sedans
Sat, 29 Mar 2014General Motors can't seem to get its name out of the "bad news" column. Two more recalls were announced late Friday evening that will see The General calling in 490,200 fullsize pickup trucks and SUVs, along with 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze models.
For those keeping track, General Motors has issued recalls for an alarming 4.8 million vehicles so far since last month.
The Chevy Silverado 1500, Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Sierra 1500 and Yukon models from the 2014 and 2015 model years are being recalled for a flaw in their transmissions wherein loose oil cooler lines may cause a fire. The automaker said in a statement (see below) that it knows of three incidents of loose transmission lines causing problems, but no injuries. We can't confirm whether it was this transmission issue that caused the widely publicized blaze that consumed a 2015 GMC Yukon that was being test driven in California.
