Don't let the mileage scare you away.  It runs and drives great!  The automatic transmission was rebuilt within the last 5,000 miles by a transmission shop (I didn't just put in a junk yard tranny, they actually rebuilt it and replaced the junk GM part that constantly fails with a high quality after market one).  The engine runs without any problems and there are no check engine lights on.  The previous owner says he replaced the engine with one that had 60,000 miles on it around 140,000 so according to them the engine has around 110,000 miles on it (but I don't have any documentation for that).  Either way, I would trust the engine to go cross country right now without any concerns or worries.  I use it as a back up vehicle for work and my normal daily commute is about 2-3 hours each way.  In the last month I've put about 800 miles on it and I'm not afraid to take it on the long trips.  That being said, the mileage may be a little higher once you come to pick it up because I do drive it once every week or two while I put my van in the shop for an oil change or brakes or whatever (like I said, I average about 1,500 miles per week so my van has to go in on a regular basis).  The oil was changed on the Avalanche about 600 miles ago and I always have them use good oil and the lucas additive.  The radio and cd player work fine.  The power windows work but the front passenger side window is slow going up and one time it actually got stuck half up so I don't use it any more (but it's not a problem because the ac blows cold and the heat blows hot).  There is a crack in the driver's side mirror but you can still see out of it fine and it's not so bad that it's trying to fall off or anything like that.  There are two small chips in the windshield that are both smaller than a dime.  They are both on the passenger side so they don't affect the inspection or the driver's view.  The cruise control stopped working but it does have it.  I haven't looked into it so I don't know if it's just a fuse or what it is (I'm not a mechanic so I don't know how to trouble shoot it and I don't drive it often enough to justify paying a mechanic to look at it).  The tires are in okay condition but will probably need to be replaced in the next 10-15,000 miles or so.  The body is probably an 8 out of 10.  The plastic moulding has a couple small bumps and bruises (as you can see in the picture but are in pretty good shape over all).  The only spot of rust I have seen is on the passenger rear wheel well (You can see it in the picture).  It is just starting to come out.  As long as you fix it before next winter it won't be a problem at all.  I would sand it down and spray paint it myself but the color matched paints from the auto parts store are never quite right so I would take it to an actual pain shop and pay the $100 to have them do it with the right paints (just my opinion).  There are no rips or tears in the seats.  The dash is in great shape.  It goes in and out of four wheel drive with the push of a button.  I only have smaller trailers (5'x8') but the Avalanche is rated to pull 8,100 pounds.  Over all this is a great running vehicle and since I'm listing it as a no reserve auction it's up to you how much you want to pay for it.  According to the websites it's worth close to $6-8k but I'm not greedy and I know it has higher miles.  If you're interested in a buy it now price email me an offer and if I like it I'll add the buy it now price to the auction for you (but be realistic, I'm not going to accept $2500 or anything close to it, just the transmission was $1600).

Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs

Fri, Dec 6 2019

General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021. 

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.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
