Richfield, Wisconsin, United States

This well used 1995 2500 Diesel Suburban starts and runs well.  It handles like a dream in deep snow is and incredibly comfortable on long trips.  I bought this in 2008 with about 237,000 miles and have driven it in a limited capacity, but regularly, since.  While the body is in poor condition, the mechanicals on this vehicle are solid.  I would not hesitate to drive this SUV any distance.  For the last five years, we have used it exclusively for trips longer than 100 miles and recreational travel (biking/kayaking) as our other car is small and electric.  Tires are in very good condition - spare is included.

Air conditioning/heat works perfectly.  Two zone system allow passengers in the back to control their own AC/heat.  4WD works perfectly.  As soon as I took ownership of the Suburban I took care of two big ticket fixes:  Transmission was rebuilt by professional local shop (Automatic Transmission Design, Inc.).  Injector Pump replaced with professionally rebuilt IP and installed by local garage specializing in diesel repair (Richfield Auto).  If bought locally, the starter and alternator have have replaced by lifetime warranted pieces.  Most recently, ABS sensors replaced on front brakes and brake system inspection completed.  The brakes have plenty of life left on them.  I also had a replacement exhaust custom fabricated for this SUV as it was tough to find a replacement system.  They took the exhaust back from after the headers all the way to the tailpipe.  

I detailed some of the cosmetic defects above, but I will try to list as many as I can remember here:
  • Patches of surface rust
  • Patches of body rust near front doors
  • Front passenger door will not open from the inside (broken latch - not uncommon with late 1990's Chevy SUV's)
  • Rear passenger door will not lock and window will not roll down (removed faulty motor for window and replaced with 1X4 to hold window in place)
  • Front passenger bumper bent upward (no subsequent damage to any mechanicals i.e. oil lines, radiator)
  • Rear driver bumper dented and bent slightly upward
  • Driver running board missing a bolt
  • Windshield cracked
  • Some vegetable oil stains on rear passenger floor
Mechanical issues I am aware of:
  • Smoking on startup
  • Slight oil leak
  • Some 'blowby' through the oil dipstick
  • Cruise control inoperable
  • Air bag light on
  • Missing one lug nut on rear passenger tire (should get myself to NAPA to get this - old one was rounded off a little)
Now for the fun!  I converted this vehicle to WVO using a professionally designed Greasecar System.  This system involved a second 40 gallon tank specifically for WVO, and a two fuel system under the hood.  Basically, you can run on diesel, then when the vehicle has heated to a certain temperature, you switch it over to free waste vegetable oil.  Before you finish your trip you switch back to diesel and you are good to go.  We have saved $1000's of dollars on diesel fuel using this system, but the hobby is at an end for us.  As such, we are also including a WVO starter kit - everything you will need to filter and run WVO in this system.  (Even a little oil if you want it.)  You will need a trailer to get this starter kit to your home.  The tank on the truck currently is about 1/2 full with clean WVO.  I run the system periodically to keep it working properly.  

With this WVO starter kit I am offering 
  • Filtering - storage barrel.  This barrel has two valves in the bottom portion of the barrel.  One to pump out sediment, the other to pump clear free fuel into your Greasecar
  • Barrel heater.  You use the barrel heater to heat the oil in the barrel and allow the sediment to settle to the bottom upon cooling
  • 1/2 hp pump.  Used to pump oil from the barrel to the filter canister
  • Filter canister and filters.  Pressurized canister containing a filter that runs to a gas pump style hose.  This ensures the oil going in your tank is free of any sediment.
  • Two food grade 35 gallon barrels.  For oil storage.
  • One 55 gallon barrel.  More oil storage.
  • A few cubes with some unfiltered WVO in them 
Note:  You do not need to run WVO in this vehicle.  You could leave the system in place and run only on diesel if you wish with no harm to the truck.  You could also remove the system fairly simply (if you have a rudimentary understanding of diesel engines).  It would take me about one hour to restore (not offering to do it, just giving an idea of the complexity).  You could also continue running this truck on WVO if you wish.  It is a relatively hassle free way to drive for free.

As with any 20 year old vehicle, this is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS.  You must arrange for shipping/pickup and no warranty is offered or implied.  I have attempted to describe this vehicle as completely as I can, but if there are issues with the vehicle not covered in the above description, I am not liable for them.  This is a No Reserve auction.  If you bid on this, you may win it.  Please be prepared to pay for this and arrange shipping or pick up.  I am unable to deliver this vehicle for you.  If you want WVO system, you will need some type of trailer as equipment will not all fit in the Suburban.

After your winning bid:
I would like $500 within 48 hours of close.  Paypal only please.  The balance upon pickup/delivery when I will provide you with the clear title.  Balance must be in cash, cashier's check verified during banking hours, Paypal or escrow.com.  If shipping, I will not allow pickup until I have verified funds.

Any questions at all, please contact me through Ebay and I will respond asap.

Thank you,
Eric

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
