1989 Chevrolet R3500 Crew Cab Pick-up Truck.  This truck is in excellent shape, with very low original miles.  The current mileage as of the listing is 51,946, but I do drive this truck ion occasion.  So the mileage may be slightly higher upon purchasing.  However, I do not drive it often.  The interior is in great shape with the original carpet, original seats, and original front floor mats.  The dash does not have any cracks and is not faded, as well as the rest of the plastic interior.  The auto trans works and shifts great.  It has a 4.10 rear end, and the tires are in great shape with less than 10,000 miles on them.  The paint is in good shape.  The gray on top areas has been repainted, but the white has not.  There are some very minor nicks in the paint on the rear fenders from road debris, but again they are minor and have touch up paint on them.  Anyone who has had a dually knows this occurs with all of them.  The paint in the bed is also scratched, but not bad at all for a 1989.  It does not have any rust anywhere that I can find.  The undercarriage looks great, the bumpers are great, the engine compartment is very clean.  The power windows all work (the front passenger seems a little slower than the rest but it works), the power locks all work, the cruise control works, and the air conditioner is very cold.  It has both wiring hook-ups for small trailers and large campers.  It runs and drives great, you could drive it anywhere.  The only reason I purchased the truck was to pull the camper, and we just recently sold the camper.  I have been contemplating keeping it, but it just doesn't make since to have a dually if you don't have anything big to pull.  The only thing that I can come up with that is wrong with it is the ash try will not stay closed on the lower portion of the dash.  I am sure it would be an easy fix with some parts from LMC Truck, but it never really bothered me.  It's where I stored my wallet, receipts, and change.  You will truly be very happy with this truck.  You can fly in and drive this one home.  I am posting a few pictures that I took yesterday but I forgot to take any of the undercarriage.  I will do so and post them later... if ebay will let me add pictures later.  Also, note that the truck is still financed with Florida Credit Union.  Their website is www.flcu.org if you are interested in looking them up.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
