zeitgeist57 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I love my wife, and I love my truck, but one is trying to push the other out... Looking for a trade (since this economy sucks to the point that I probably won't get $3000 for it)... 1982 Chevrolet Silverado C20 (3/4Ton) - 2WD, TH400 3spd auto, 6.2L DIESEL!!! Good: *Excellent condition for it's age - ex-L.A. truck, bought on eBay Feb 2007. *46k original miles (bought it w/ 34k miles on it) *Fully loaded, and everything works (PW, PL) *A/C professionally converted to R-134 in 04/07 (have all receipts) - blows ice cold *20" Weld Forged aluminum wheels with GoodYear Wrangler AT-S - 5k miles on tires *Electric brake thingy for trailer, beefy steel bumper w/ hitch welded to frame - built to haul! Bad: *Interior is complete, but dash cracked, door panels faded from sun exposure in CA, FL. *Small spots of rust at bottom of door edge, cab corners *Slow/No start in cold weather *No radio In the past couple of months, it won't start in cold weather. It will crank, but the starter is not cranking fast enough to get the engine to catch - needs a jump. Replaced both batteries (2 900CCA Walmart MAXX) and starter cable...may need a new/rebuilt starter, or better batteries (WalMart makes shit batteries). Because of this cold start issue, my wife is fed up with it, and realistically I don't use the bed as much as I should. FEELER FOR TRADE? Looking for SUV or extended-cab truck. Manual transmission a plus, as would be 4WD/AWD. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v710/zeitgeist57/DSC01363.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v710/zeitgeist57/DSC01362.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v710/zeitgeist57/DSC01458.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benner Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'd trader her off instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Tell her I said you can keep it. The bigger picture is that I could use 4+ passenger capacity more than an 8ft bed. My wife is a good sport. Plus, right now she's making more money than I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That's a super nice truck. Just put it off until spring, Diesel's hate cold and being a 2wd it's not like you can use it now anyway. Once spring comes around and it starts up fine just tell her it's fixed and no reason to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Damn, I would've traded you a 98 Explorer Sport 2dr if it didn't have a cold start issue. Can't be having that in Boston! GL with sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
