  • 1996 Chevy Silverado 4x4

    Hey guys, I recently bought a new truck and am selling my old one. It's been a great truck, but I just wanted a 5.3 and a cewcab truck. This truck has never let me down, and I actually think I'm going to end up regretting selling this truck, but nevertheless, here she is. MiFbody price is $3000 OBO, I'll be posting it on Craigslist here in a few days at $3500 firm (we all know nobody at CL knows what that means anyways )

    Please, if you're interested, give me a call/txt/PM and I'll try and get back to you. [MENTION=1993]Darren[/MENTION] can vouch, he's seen the truck. It's not in prefect shape, but it's certainly a respectable specimen of this body style truck. I used it to tow my boat, camper, fishing boat, DD. And occasionally a Dodge (Okay, just that one time). I've had it since 181K, it's got 196K on it now. It's honestly never let me down.

    586-563-9385







    1996 Chevy Silverado 4x4 with the 305 Vortec engine, has decent cooper tires, bed liner, fiberglass bed topper, power windows/locks/mirrors, Sony radio with USB/AUX, all new speakers. It has 196K miles, but runs great. It's never let me down. Averages 12MPG towing or not. Has a Reese class 3 hitch with 2" ball on it, comes with 7/4 pin RV/boat wiring, provisions for a trailer brake controller. Working spare tires hoist and good spare tire.
    List of new stuff:
    Water pump
    Idler Pulley
    GM Alternator
    Serpentine belt
    Fuel pressure regulator
    Plugs and Wires
    Brake shoes, hardware and wheel cylinders, machined drums
    Rotors, calipers and pads
    Monroe shocks front and back
    Moog U-joint in the rear driveshaft
    Resealed rear axle (tubes, pinion and cap)
    Tailgate and hinges (painted to match)
    Taillight bulb boards/sockets
    Inside and outside door handles
    All fluids changed when I bought it at 181K
    Transmission fluid cooler lines (From inline tube)
    Steering column shrouds and shift lever boot
    Rebuilt transmission maybe 8K ago at GM dealer
    oil filter adapter gasket changed about 8K ago (It isn't equipped with an oil cooler, so no leaky lines to worry about
    Bank 1 and 2 oxygen sensors replaced with new flowmaster catalytic converter Y pipe assembly (Only has one cat)
    Passenger CV axle and AC Delco lower ball joint
    Moog Pitman and Idler arms
    GM blower motor
    Ignition switch
    Recent alignment/tires balanced and rotated (drives smooth and straight)
    The upper ball joints and front hub bearings were replaced at some point prior to me owning the truck, as well as possibly the fan clutch.



    The BAD:
    Rusty rockers and passenger cab corner is just about gone
    Bottom of doors are rusty
    driver's window track is rotten, and window gets stuck when lowered 100% down, but works fine it is only lowered down to 75% (I'm including a new window to correct this problem)
    Driver's door lock cylinder was replaced but the lock rod fell off because the small metal clip let go. I have a new clip I'm including to fix this.
    Passenger door lock cylinder doesn't match driver's door lock (I have the matching cylinder to the driver's door that I'm including)
    Fiberglass topper has a pinhole leak near the front glass that I've never pinpointed. It's never been a real issue unless there's huge amounts of rain, then you might find some water in the ridges of the bedliner.
    I'm also including in the deal a new in box Codealarm keyless entry and remote start kit I ordered for it but never installed. I'm not 100% sure if this truck needs the passlock bypass or not. This truck is a workhorse, never let me down. The only reason I'm selling it is because I upgraded to a newer truck with a 5.3L. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this truck anywhere.
    I'd like to see it go to someone on MiFbody before anyone on CL. I'd like to know someone is enjoying the truck and not tearing it up/beating on it. I dunno, just think I'd rather have an idea of where it is and what it's doing, versus just sending if off to craigslist land to be demolished ...

    Thanks for looking.

    I kick myself for selling my 98 Z71 since the day i did it (had bills to pay). Without a doubt my favorite daily driver, i think this gen is the best all around truck GM has ever made. Comfortable ride, pulled like a mule, and it wasn't made out of plastic & tin foil.

      I know I'm going to regret it, but I gotta pay on this '04 I just bought. It's a z71 cew cab, 5.3L with 3.73 gears and half the miles and half the rust. The more I drive the new truck, the more I fall in love with it, but I just know I'll end up regretting selling this 96, but goshdarn it I got bills to pay.

          Love these trucks! I will be looking for one of these trucks come this time next year! I'll probably have to make a trip down south to get one, but I'm game to travel for the right one! GLWS.

                  We will go get one in the fall. That way I have winter to get it ready for DD status. Not trying to hijack the thread.

                  BUY JON'S TRUCK!
