I have owned this truck since 2010, 2nd owner. I maintained it to the highest level possible in that time period. Honestly, I had intended to continue to keep it/use it but needs have changed. That said, I have spent a lot of time and resource to make this truck a really good tow vehicle in addition to a very solid reliable truck. Here's the details: 191,XXX MILES 5.3l LS It's had Mobil 1 Synthetic oil and filter, in it since I bought it. Yearly transmission service with Shaeffer fluids. Yearly brake system service. Upgrades from Factory for towing/Service: Auxiliary transmission cooler installed Texas Speed and Performance Stainless long tube headers combined with their performance reflash. TSP specializes in GM LS motors. Air Aid cold intake with KN filter filter charger in OEM air box AirLift Air bag set up on rear suspension combined with Gabriel Air Shocks Injectors tested and Serviced - Pro Flo Technology (Florida) It's had Mobil 1 Synthetic oil and filter, in it since I bought it. Yearly transmission service with Shaeffer fluids. Yearly brake system service. Maintainence/Repairs with last 6 months: All new rocker panels, cab corners, and bed fenders and inner wells ($4k parts and labor) Front rack is new Rear end and pinion gears all new rear calipers new new front tires (less than 3 thousand miles) Rear main seal and oil pan seal new - less than 3 thousand miles Within the last 18 months New Starter New Battery I also have a set of nice black OEM GM 20" aluminum rims that I was going to install. I will include if we get close to asking price. The topper shown in pics is no longer on the truck. There are likely other things I've forgotten but long and short is this is a very good condition truck and I've done everything I can to keep it nice because I intended to be buried in it. $8000 - OBO. Motivated to sell. Partial trades considered. (I need at least $5k in cash though.) Located in Southern Illinois - 62439
I own a 2004 5.3 so I can appreciate this truck. Have done "the list" for these gen silverados like you did, hubs, brakes, brake lines, fuel lines, etc. I think youre trying to get rust job money back (that 4k) which I don't think people are going to be willing to pay extra even though it makes it a much nicer truck. I'm thinking $4k and under unfortunately. That's why I'm hesitant to have the rust fixed on mine. :/
