1991 Chevrolet K1500 4x4 Standard Cab, Short box Silverado Pickup. 116,036 miles. A/C blows cold, Heat works very well. All the dash controls and radio works well. Engine, I think, was rebuilt and carburetor and aluminum intake installed. MSD Distributor and coil. Truck starts right up, runs very good. I have put about 2-thousand miles on it, and it has not burned any oil. Starts very well, runs good, no smoking.

I have installed a new battery, a new alternator, new front brakes (pads, calipers and rubber lines) and new ABS controls and modules. Everything works as it should. When I bought the truck, the dealer had replaced the rear end with a unit from a Tahoe, with bigger rear brakes. The rear brakes worked TOO well, so I installed an adjustable proportioning valve and cut the pressure to the rear brakes. They now work as they should, the truck stops really well. Once in a while, when you start the truck, the ABS light comes on, but turns off within a minute. Must be re-booting itself?

Newer tires with lots of tread left. I have had those Road Force balanced, at 70-mph the truck drives down the road very smooth. Wheels some discoloration, need to be polished.

Interior shows some wear on the driver’s seat. Carpet is good; I put new rubber mats in it. The left hinge is broken on the glove box door, needs to re-glued. Everything works inside, all the lights, radio, wipers, etc. Everything on the truck works as it should. Everything.

Body shows no rust or bubbles, but I think it was re-painted a while ago. Paint is very nice. Headlights and tail-lights need to be polished and brought back to clear. Frame is starting to show surface rust. Under the bed, the cross braces have some rust thru. Dual exhaust is good, but not stock.

I bought this truck Early July to use as a second truck, a backup. I sold the Dodge Dually and bought a newer Chevrolet, so I am going to sell this truck. I needed another truck for when the Dodge was constantly in the shop!

I have tinkered with this truck since I bought it, fixing all the little things. It runs and drives very nice. Everything works, even the windshield washers. I would not be afraid to drive this truck anyplace.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
