FS: 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD Diesel


Recommended Posts

Hey folks -

 

It's time to put my 2005 GMC Sierra up for sale. The details:

  • 2500HD crew cab
  • SLT trim level
  • Duramax 6.6L diesel / Allison 5-speed auto
  • 4WD
  • 6.5ft bed
  • ~24000 miles
  • Dark blue exterior / Gray interior
  • Amber running roof lights
  • Sunroof

Aftermarket additions:

  • Line-X over-rail spray-in
  • Kenwood DNX9140 navigation
  • Backup camera (being added this coming weekend)
  • Tekonsha trailer brake controller (wired up and ready to go)

I'm getting it prettied up with a professional detail this weekend. Once that happens, I'll have photos up.

 

The oil, filter, and fuel filter were all changed last month.

 

The truck has been problem-free since I bought it new back in March, '05. The interior is smoke-free; the exterior has had one run-in with an stubborn snow bank that resulted in the lower right front trim panel a little banged up (around the fog light). I'll include a photo of the damage. I intended to tow with the beast, but that just never panned out for me. I never really needed a diesel pickup, and it's time to finally sell it.

 

$15K takes it.

 

PM me or reply to this post and we can chat via email, phone, etc. I'm not going to post my email address or phone number here, hopefully for obvious reasons. :-)

Is the truck 4x4? And what is your general location?

 

Thanks for reminding me I'd forgotten something; yes it is 4WD and I've edited the original post. I'm in Northern VA.

Hi folks -

 

I appreciate all of the enthusiasm about the truck. I've received numerous PMs similar to the posts here in the thread regarding pictures. Please note a line from the OP:

Once the detailing is done and the camera is installed, I'll take some shots and upload them to an external website. The link will appear here.

 

Also note: I already have a deposit down on the truck but it does not guarantee a sale. So while it might already be sold, it may not.

 

Stand by, please.

HI folks -

 

Thanks for all of the interest. The truck is sold. I'd edit the OP, but the forum software won't let me.

Did you really sell that LLY for 15k with 24,000 miles? Was there anything wrong with it?

 

That truck if it is what your post says with that many miles should be priced around 30k!

    • Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.  
    • New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
    • No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

    • - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
