Blazer Chalet Camper On 1985 Chevy Blazer Cucv Diesel on 2040-cars
Oregon, Wisconsin, United States
|
Friends,
This is the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. Unfortunately, it's not so practical for toting around kids in car seats, so it's time for me to send it on to its next happy owner. I bought the Chalet camper shell on it's original factory chassis about four years ago. That chassis was tired, so about 2 years ago I bought the current chassis, a former Air Force CUCV. The CUCV had been upgraded with power leather seats, a CD stereo, new carpet, headliner and dash pad by its previous owner. I swapped the camper on and have been using it as my daily driver ever since. As an ASE master tech, I like to keep my stuff nice. In the time that I've owned the chassis, the following work has been performed: New master cylinder New front brake pads New rear shocks New steering stabilizer Four new balljoints New steering knuckle greaseable universal joints, seals, wheel bearings repacked New rear driveshaft greaseable universal joints New power steering return line New engine oil cooler lines New radiator New thermostat New mufflers and tailpipes New dual group 31 batteries New alternator New Belts New Optima deep cycle camper battery New glow plugs New glow plug relay Transmission overhauled by professional trans rebuilder New flexplate New Trailer hitch and pigtail New Potable water pump in the camper Probably more that I'm not able to think of. Receipts available upon request. Additionally, I've added a small inverter to run the installed television and a large inverter to run the APU air conditioning and electric heat (10,000 BTU A/C, 14,000 BTU Heat). The heat and A/C can also run off of shoreline power when it is available, so there is no need to run the engine to air condition the camper. This inverter acts as a charger for the starting batteries when plugged into the shoreline. The Chalet has a built in charger for the deep cycle battery. Because I live in the frozen tundra, I've also added battery heaters, an engine oil heater and an engine coolant heater. The truck also comes with a custom fabricated cold weather grill cover and a warm weather bug screen. The truck includes a Margaritaville tailgating grill, which was gutless from the factory, so I've upgraded it with a variable pressure propane regulator that can make it roar like a jet engine when you really need to cook. Because this chassis is near mint I've also applied POR 15 to the bottom of the truck to prevent rusting. In short, I really hate to see this one go, but it's not practical for me any more. As always, my walk away guarantee applies - if you win the auction and the vehicle is not exactly as I've described it, you walk away - no questions asked. Please feel free to call me with any questions. Randy (608) 209-7706 |

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
