]OK,,I found this on SearchTempest.com <-- It searches all Craigslist's with in your set search area's My Zipcode + 750 miles away, I found many But decided to go get this one!!
After a 25hr round trip from Mid Michigan to DC, giving up $6300 bucks, Plus about $300 more in fuel,dinner,toll roads, ect.
Here it is! A 1995 K1500 GMC SLT. W/ 128,850 miles
I got this from the 2nd owner, he's had it for the last 10 years, and only put 21,000 miles on it during that time.

The list of goodies he's done in that time are awesome! Over $2000 just with Heath alone!
Front end rebuilt 2/1/07 Complete New Reman Tranny @ 123,000 Copper Prospector SUV tires 5/19/07 @118,000 miles - Elc. IP harness 5/10/08 - Heath MaxTork chip 3/09 - Heath Bosch fuel injectors 4/18/09 @120,878 miles - Heath glow plugs & 4" exhaust 2/11. Also found,, Heath Turbo Master, New water pump, New Alternator, serp belt, belt-tensioner, 2 new Diehard gold 800cca's, New heath Lift Pump. A Posi- Lok 4X4 manual actuator system, a 6 disc changer under rear seat, 200 watt amp under console, and all the books, manuals, and window sticker! $37,600.60 <--Holy Crap!

Crawling around underneath I'm finding ZERO Body rust!! There appears to be the stock HB and from all I can see, the rubber looks good, But I think I'll replace it any way. The fan is a 6 blade <--<yuck> That will get the duramax fan soon. I'll need a New PMD kit also as it is currently on the IP. I will be ordering a Raptor Bedliner Spray on kit and doing from the body side moldings down, Rockers, and inside the door rocker areas, as I live on a dirt road, then a set of Mudflaps, and some vent visors, then driving it till the wheels fall off!

not foam, structural adhesive. i have it on the 93 and the 96.
 
Nice find!!! Diesel Burbs are the best :)

That was a hell of a good deal too IMO!

I encourage you to replace the pulley with a Fluidampr, WaetherTech vent guards, and a 9 blade fan (stock or Duramax). Plus remote mount the PMD of course, first.
 
Welcome to the club. I see yours is 8 lug is it a 2500? A 1500 6 lug diesel Burb is pretty rare.
 
6th digit in vin is 1 = 1/2 ton,, K1500, 8 lug, 9.5 pinion gear Non-Floater rear end with 3:42 gears and G80 posi all per original window sticker
 
Thanx Guys,, after driving it a bit, today about 30 miles or so to go get plates and hit the Zone,, I've found a small random fish bite,, off idle, then it clears up, and doesn't do it anymore. But after idling for 5-7 mins,, it will bite a bit, when I leave,, for 3-4 seconds, then no more. PO put a new IP filter in it, and new fuel filter. Maybe the FF o-rings are dried up, as he drove it very little. Only 21,000 in ten years. Just got back from taken the wife and kids on a little joy ride, Momma likes it, and of coarse the kids do too. So far I'm tickled shitless! ;)
 
Fish bite is usually electric, PMD or grounds?......
Wheres the PMD mounted now?
 
Sad to say, it's on the pump,, I know, I know,, that will be the first mod! After all the Heath parts I found the PO had done to it,, I was surprised to see it still there. He had stated that he had cleaned all the grounds recently also. New unit and cable is the first order of biz. Might pull the one off my 94 to check double though.
