For sale is my '98 1/2 ton, extended cab, short box, 3 door Silverado. I have owned this truck for nearly 7 years now and being a GM Certified Master Technician I can say without a doubt, that it has been well taken care of and very well maintained. Nothing but the best, if ever needed. It has 198,500 miles on it but is mechanically solid and rides/drives near perfect for the mileage. Anybody that has looked at it never believes that it has that many miles on it.

 

Anyways, it is a 5.7R, 4L60E, NP241 transfer case, 3:42 gear, open rear differential build. Factory towing package, GM Bedliner, power windows/locks/mirrors. 60/40 split front bench with tan cloth interior. I have added Lund stainless rocker trim, Pioneer CD player, Ventvisor brand ventvisors, '05 Z71 wheels with Michelin LTX AT/2 tires (90% tread) and a tonneau cover. The transmission and transfer case were just gone through less than 1500 miles ago due to a light torque convertor howl during extreme cold starts. The engine uses no oil and still gets 15-18mpg during normal driving.

 

My new truck is due home anyday so this one has to go. Located in Michigan. PM here for more info.

 

$5500 obo.

How is the body on this thing? The truck looks beautiful....does it have any rust on the cab corners, over the wheels, or on the inside of the bottom of the doors. This truck looks great, I've known guys looking for some GMT-400's this maybe worth passing along too them. How does the motor seem, have you replaced the intake manifold gasket? Also where at in MI?

Do you have it listed anywhere else? I tried auto-rv.com with my 2000, sold it to a guy at work 2 days after I put the ad in :flag:

 

Truck looks good. IMO the original stock wheels really set those trucks apart.

It is on my buddies used car lot at his Ford dealership, locally. It is also on his dealerships website and his AutoTrader.com website. Problem is, everybody sees the mileage and balks. Pictures don't do this truck any

justice, it's as clean as clean can get for the year and mileage so unless you look at it in person, you wouldn't

see that. :flag:

you ever think about just keeping that truck and just using it to keep miles off your 11? regardless of the condition of the truck, it will be pretty hard to sell that truck with almost 200,000 miles for more then about $2000. the miles scare everyone away.

 

or maybe you'd have better luck parting it out, since its in such good condition... just my 0.02$, best of luck with the sale.

Thanks for the well wishes on the sale but if you could see this truck in person, you'd understand why I am asking what I am asking, for it and I am no where near out of line for my area. Check KBB. GMT800's with 200k miles on them, beat to hell, are still going for $7,000 all day long, in my area. I'm now $1000 under good condition KBB pricing and you can almost eat off the underside of this truck. Again, things that cannot be known, without looking at it in person. Thanks again.

I would absolutely kill to have this as a DD, just can't afford it right now paying off college loans. Don't be too hard on yourself or on the price, because price IMO it is well within fair. I have been checking this thread daily to see if it is sold, so surprised it is still around. GLWS!!!

i believe it, it is a very nice looking truck. yeah, people around me tend to not have so much money so things go for pretty cheap.

 

do you have it listed on craigslist?

      OK you say you could hang meat but what was the actual temp? One of the AC systems job is to remove humidity that we feel on our body your new system removed alot of humidity as that is were the water comes from on the ac coils and that made it feel colder. 80 degrees with high humidity will feel hot vs 80 degrees with low humidity will feel alot cooler.

      I was using recirc/max air. Especially if it really hot i start out by lowering the front windows a little with regular ac the go to recirculation after a few and rolling windows up. And it does not have the newest refrigerant. It has per the info under the hood r134. Not the new r1234yf.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.
