Selling my 1990 K5 Blazer. This is a good running, driving truck. The odometer shows 300,000 miles, but there is no way it has this many miles. The engine runs strong, the transmission shifts smooth and the interior looks like new.

Interior: The interior looks brand new. I cleaned the carpets and seats and it still has the original GM floor mats. I also just installed a dash pad, new power window and door lock switches and I reconditioned the door panels when I installed the switches. When I bought the Blazer, it has a cheap aftermarket radio so I bought an OE radio on eBay and installed it -works great.

Exterior: The body overall is in good condition. There are a few rust spots in the rocker panels and over the rear wheel wells (see details in the pictures). The clear coat was peeling badly, so I did a rattle can paint job on it. It looks good from 10 feet and will be fine for everyday use. The chrome bumpers are in good condition.

Mechanical: New starter, power brake booster, serpentine belt & tensioner. The engine runs strong but does leak some oil from the rear of the engine (what GM small block doesn't leak a little). Transmission shifts very smoothly but does leak some fluid from the front of the transmission (what GM transmission doesn't leak a little). A/C does not appear to work, but I've never really needed to use it. I'm also not sure the cruise control works, but I only drive around town so I've never tried to use it. The 4wd works fine. The tires are fair but probably have another 5-6K miles in them.

This is not a show truck and is not priced like one but if you just want a good running, driving vehicle this is a good one. I have set a fair reserve price.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
