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. 


On Apr-20-13 at 16:50:45 PDT, seller added the following information:

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.

GM recalling Silverado and Sierra HD diesel pickups over fuel gauge follies

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

General Motors is recalling 9,733 of its heavy-duty twins over concerns with their 6.6-liter diesel engines and dual fuel tanks. The recall covers some Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from model years 2012 and 2013, although the exact dates that the recalled trucks were built isn't specified. There's also no mention of how many models come from Chevrolet and how many are from GMC.
The problem rests with the transfer pump responsible for moving fuel from the rear tank to the front tank - it could fail, resulting in an inaccurate fuel gauge. It hardly requires explaining, but a faulty fuel gauge could leave drivers in a situation where they run out of diesel.
GM will begin notifying customers of affected vehicles, who will be asked to report to their dealers for a free replacement transfer pump.

GM updating fullsize pickups for 2015

Sat, 10 May 2014

As Ford prepares to hit the market with its x-factor, aluminum-intensive F-150 and Ram sales stand tall enough to meet General Motors truck sales eye-to-eye, GM is putting the word out that it's going to add more features to its trucks and do so more regularly. An executive engineer for pickups told reporters that "a whole array" of changes are on the way as soon as the 2015 model year and then would likely come "the year after that, the year after that, the year after that."
Only GM knows the way it plans to go with its fullsize trucks, with almost everyone else - including its dealers - griping about market share at the same time as they applaud profits and hope for clarity and growth. GM raised prices on the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra not long after launch even as it was losing market share and getting called "the least successful large pickup launch over the last 15 years," further upsetting dealers, then Ram outsold the Silverado in March of this year and led GM to increase incentives. But transaction prices rose with the premium; in the first quarter of this year more than 37 percent of the trucks costing more than $40,000 were the Silverado and Sierra, leading one dealer to say of the Sierra, "You can't sell a cheap one," and the analyst who made that "least successful launch" comment to opine, "GM may have made the right call to go for price over share."
We won't know for a few months what any of these updates will be, but the rumored changes for the Silverado and Sierra appear to cover all the bases, including appearance, capability and fuel economy. Rumors run to higher gear counts, stop-start technology and diesel engines before brand-new pickups come for the 2019 model year, those next-generation models supposedly to be engineered with a lot more aluminum.

GM able to add diesel to half-ton pickups if market demands it

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

A few years ago, the trend in half-ton pickup trucks was ultra-luxurious trims, often with the words "limited" or "platinum" tacked on after the model name. That was well and good, but we like this latest fad a lot more - diesel engines. First, Ram came to bat with a 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel for the 1500, then Nissan announced that the next-generation Titan would be getting an eight-cylinder Cummins diesel.
Now, word is coming in from AutoGuide that General Motors can, if it so chooses, drop a diesel engine into its light-duty trucks. The plot thickens, though, as it turns out that said diesel would be the same one Ram is using for its truck. According to AG, that engine comes from VM Motori, which GM owns a sizable chunk of. Therefore, GM can snag the 3.0-liter, V6 diesel for its trucks just as easily, if not more easily, than Ram.
If it's so easy for the Detroit-based manufacturer to access the engines, why not offer the a diesel-powered Sierra and Silverado from the start, then? According to GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson, The General doesn't seem so confident in a diesel pickup outside of its HD offerings. According to Wilkinson, the cost-benefit ratio doesn't line up for customers, thanks to both the impact on the truck's sticker price and the higher price of diesel, in general (the national average for a gallon of diesel is 43 cents more than a gallon of 87-octane unleaded).
