1986 Gmc Sierra 2500 on 2040-cars
Martinez, California, United States

Up for Auction is an Original 1986 GMC Sierra 2500 4x4 3/4 ton pick up. First and Foremost...This truck IS NOT RESTORED!! IT IS ALL ORIGINAL except for the steering wheel. The Story.... Originally a NEVADA State Truck...was brought to California in 1994 and was owned by the same owner for the last 20 years and used a extra truck for the home, dump runs etc. When the clutch went out the truck was parked for the last few years. I purchased the truck to make it my dump runner etc. but I recently had buddies get into jeeping so I am looking to find a CJ instead! FACTORY OPTIONS: Air conditioning, 4.10 gears with Posi-traction rear end, 4 speed tranny, ORIGNIAL PAINT (no secrets, no bondo) I have done the following in the last few months: Brand NEW LUK Clutch, pilot bearing, re-surfaced fly wheel, all new fluids in tranny and transfer case Brand NEW Hydraulic brake system, new master cylinder, slave cylinder Completely rebuilt factory Non-tilt Steering wheel New idle sensor selenoid The previos owner was smart when he parked it and drained, oil, fuel and water...So these systems have new fluids and are in complete working order! Air conditioning is all intact (minus one vent in cab) and works, but does not blow cold. Heater, defroster, and wipers all work.
WHAT IT NEEDS... Tires...All four tires were slashed at the sidewall years ago...they have been patched for years to move around the previous owners property...THEY ARE NOT ROAD WORTHY. They do completely hold air for months. I was going to purchase tires but heres the deal....I don't want to spend money on tires if the next owner, wants a factory tire, a slightly upgraded size or if they want to lift it etc. The hood release handle is broken...it still works as it should it is just not mounted to the kick panel No stereo Dash is cracked I removed the clutch safety switch because it didn't work, so stuck a 30 amp fuse as a relay and by passed it. Works perfectly! According to the previous owner the plugs and wires were replaced right before the clutch went out a few years ago. They LOOK LIKE IT. I did NOT replace them. Rust: Each cab corner has the beginning of paint bubble. They metal is still very solid and all there, but there is the early stage of minor rust in these areas. OTHERWISE There is NO RUST IN THE ENTIRE REST OF TRUCK. You will see the windshield is cracked in the pictures...THIS WILL BE REPLACED PRIOR TO SALE with a brand new Windshield! This truck spent 20 of its thirty years in the suburbs of the San francisco Bay Area....NO SNOW, SALT and way inland from the coast.
Overall: This truck runs like a top, shifts smooth and true and stops on a dime. It drives straight as an arrow down the road. ALL WINDOWS roll up and down perfectly, door locks work perfectly. The body is straight with body flaws to be expected from a 30 year old 4x4. The bed is in way above average condition, with minimal flaws. The tailgate operates perfectly and is straight! All this being said....It's a 30 year old bare bones 4x4 truck. It will need some attention to above listed areas as well as a saturday afternoon doing belts etc. My reserve is extremely fair for such a truck. Hard to find these that aren't all rust out and beat to hell. I am a private party guy who is not selling to make a living, so your not gonna pay some inflated price if you were buying from dealer. DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO BUY. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A RESTORED OR REFURBISHED TRUCK. IT is driver quality....... Pleas call or text with questions. (925) 323-5747. I have a 100 percent positive feedback on EBAY, and I intend on keeping that. This truck has been described 100 percent accurately. I would not plan on driving this truck across country..as it has minimal use in recent years and therefore its long distance reliablity is unknown. If your a California Buyer...SMOG certification will be buyer responsiblity. The truck is sold AS IS. Good luck

New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight
Wed, 19 Jun 2013J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.
2015 GMC Yukon erupts into flames during Anaheim test drive [w/video]
Mon, 24 Mar 2014A 2015 GMC Yukon burst into flames while on a test drive in Anaheim, CA on Sunday after smoke filled the cabin. Residents of the neighborhood where the driver abandoned the redesigned Yukon reported hearing a series of small explosions (likely the tires, based on the video), according to a report from KTLA and The Los Angeles Times.
No one was injured in the incident, which The Times reports occurred after a possible oil or fluid leak. As you can see in the image above, the Yukon was engulfed in flames, although the Anaheim Fire Department was able to put out the blaze in about 15 minutes.
"We're very lucky that no one got hurt, and it was in an area that... was safe," Lt. Tim Schmidt of the Anaheim Police Department told KTLA reporters. "If there was any place that was going to be safe, it would be this area. It's very open. It worked out for us."
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
