I have here a what I would consider clean (for a 2005) Silverado 1500 Z71 crew cab, 4x4, 5.3, leather loaded etc etc. I am the second owner, I have had it for 7-8 years or so... It has been a great truck, still like the way it looks when it's cleaned up, but ready for something else.
-Trans was rebuilt last year by a reputable shop, all new electronics, bigger servos etc. I don't think I've put more than 10-15k miles on it since the rebuild but I'd have to check. Tansfer case oil was changed at the same time.
-Brakes were just done a month ago (front and back, new rotors in front, ceramic pads etc) along with a synthetic oil change. I have always used mobil 1, previous owner used amsoil
-new radiator about 1 year ago
-water pump and all new belts about 1.5-2years ago . Truck has never overheated or ran hot, this was all done because pump started leaking through the weep hole (early sign before it fails)
-rear diff oil was changed around 2 years ago
I have done a bunch of preventative maintenance and upkeep over the years, have receipts for most of it (if not all)
aftermarket stuff:
-Pioneer touch screen headunit, DVD, bluetooth, backup camera... connected to the steering wheel controls.
- 2 JL audio 10" subs with a fosgate amp, w/ base control knob at the dash (all done by pacific stereo)
-tinted windows, rear are limo
-rhino bed liner
-K&N drop in filter
-Flowmaster 3 chamber
-Bilstein 5100 shocks
The bad:
204k miles
It recently developed an intermittent lifter tick. comes and goes.
the headliner just started to lift a little a the edge next to driver side and pass side window.
Tires are hankook AT tires, been great, but close to end of life
Clear coat on roof is starting to peel and some paint chipping / peeling
otherwise it is a great clean truck for its age... AC blows cold (recirc button has never worked since I got it) heated seats work great, heater etc. It does have some rock chips etc, the truck is 16yo... but otherwise clean. Trades... Looking for a jeep (+/- cash)... either a wrangler, grand cherokee 4X4 etc that can also be flat towed behind a motorhome. can +/- cash depending on the deal. Truck has a clean title, registered in CA. Might also consider trades towards 2 seat can-am, etc lemme know what you have 951-300-613 2 text
I see prices all over the place, so for selling... I'm thinking $10k? would be a good truck for someone willing to DIY fix the lifters.
