If anybody has a carfax account. Can they run this vin for me. it is 2GCEK19T1X1168988. I ran a history report through autocheck.com but they didn't give me the options that is on this truck. Just wondering if carfax does that or a different website can do that for me.

 

Also, they said the odometer was replaced and now has 60,000 miles on it. The last time it was titled it had 99,000 miles on it. Who knows how many miles is on it now. Any advice?

Carfax doesn't list anything but the VIN. No options. Just partial history.

 

That truck is:

Year/Make/Model: 1999 CHEVROLET K1500 SILVERADO

So, without knowing the actual mileage on this truck, does $6000 sound like a good deal for a 99 chevy ext cab with 4 wheel drive?

If it's in pretty good condition 6G isn't way out of line but I'd probably keep looking myself unless it was really really nice. Better deals are out there.

The one thing I am worried about is not knowing the actual mileage. I did call the guy and he said it did have some rust on the corner of the cab, but he is fixing that.

Mileage is important but to me condition is MORE important on a 10 year old truck. How well maintained and how well kept are everything once a vehicle is over 5 years old.

So, would you buy something that you didn't know the actual mileage and you was buying it from some guy you didn't know and you don't know how well it was taken care of?

Absolutely NOT!

 

Maybe if it was 3 grand...

Well, I am going to ask the guy to find out the mileage before the instrument cluster was replaced, so I will go from there. I decided I better pass on it, unless he can get me the mileage that the truck had on it before the cluster was replaced.

That would cause me to walk away regardless of the price and regardless of how good the repair might be. Too many other vehicles out there to choose from. I'd forget about this one and move along.

If you haven't seen the truck or driven it, I think it would be wise to pass. One scary part is "fixing the rust on the corner of the cab". Is it a rust-thru or surface rust or?? Chances are that if rust appears in one spot, it will appear in others.

 

Lots of other trucks out there for good deals; it just takes some searching.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
