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.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

Sunday Drive: From a mid-engine 'Vette to a restomod RV

Sun, Jan 7 2018

Automotive enthusiasts are a diverse bunch. As proof, we present last week's top posts on Autoblog, starting with some really good spy photos of the upcoming mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette. Will it be sold alongside a classic front-engine 'Vette? We have no idea, but we can't wait to find out. Up next is a pickup truck. Can't get much further from a supercar, right? At least both the Corvette and the 2019 Ram 1500 – which will debut a radical new design that appears to eschew the mini big-rig look of past Rams in favor of something more refined – are both American. Decidedly not American? The Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The boxy off-road 'ute looks a heck of a lot like the old one, which is probably a good thing, but we know it'll be fancier and more luxurious than ever before. Check out the leaked images below. Also hailing from Germany, but sharing absolutely nothing else in common at all, is the Audi A4 Allroad. We've been driving this all-wheel-drive wagon for a while now, and we like it quite a bit. And, last but not least, is a 1959 bus that's been converted into an RV. Like we said, y'all certainly are a diverse bunch.

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.
