I TRADED FOR THIS TRUCK RECENTLY BUT AM NOW MOVING AND WON'T HAVE THE SPACE FOR A 3RD VEHICLE - SO MUST SELL BEFORE MOVING.
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
THE PREVIOUS OWNER PUT A NEW RADIATOR IN (WITH COOLER), NEW WATER PUMP, NEW BILLET GRILLE ON THE FRONT, NEW IGNITION BARREL (APPARENTLY KEY GOT STUCK IN THE BARREL AND COULDN'T BE REMOVED), INSTALLED LARGE CHROME DUAL EXHAUST TIPS THAT COME OUT THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK JUST FORWARD OF THE REAR WHEELS, THERE'S A NEWER BLUE BENCH SEAT, NEWER BLUE HEADLINER. POWER WINDOWS / LOCKS WORK - GAUGES LOOK LIKE THEY WORK BUT HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED FULLY (THERE'S A GAUGE UNDER THE DASH WHICH ISN'T WIRED AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT'S FOR). THIS HAS DUAL GAS TANKS - BUT PREVIOUS OWNER ONLY USED RIGHT SIDE TANK.
400 TURBO TRANSMISSION JUST INSTALLED, AND I WILL GIVE BUYER THE OLD 400 TRANSMISSION (THIS WAS RECENTLY REBUILT - LOOKS CLEAN - BUT HAD AN ISSUE GOING INTO 2ND GEAR - HENCE THE OTHER TRANSMISSION BEING INSTALLED). TRUCK IS BY NO MEANS PERFECT, IT IS NO WHERE NEAR A SHOW TRUCK - IT WAS JUST BUILT TO LOOK GOOD AND BE NOTICED GOING DOWN THE ROAD (WHICH IT DOES - I STOPPED TO PUT GAS IN IT AND EVERYONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT OR COMMENT HOW COOL IT IS)...THE BODY HAS A NUMBER OF SMALL DENTS, THE PAINT IS NOT PERFECT (LOOKS GOOD FROM A DISTANCE), CRUISE CONTROL / WIPERS NOT WORKING (DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE NOT HOOKED UP OR DON'T WORK). NO AC - BUT CAN BE EASILY ADDED TO THESE OLDER TRUCKS. FAN SEEMS TO BLOW UNDER THE DASH (HAS COOLED TRUCK IN SUMMER). I WAS TOLD THE STARTER WIRING IS CLOSE TO THE HEADERS BY THE MECHANIC THAT PUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND SHOULD BE MOVED AT SOME POINT (NOT SURE HOW SIMPLE THAT IS). CURRENTLY AT MY HOME WITH A FLAT BATTERY FROM SITTING (I WAS TOLD BATTERY WAS NEW). WHEN PICKING UP BRING JUMPER CABLES! DOES RUN THOUGH - AS WITH MOST OF THESE 350 CHEVROLETS THEY ARE CHEAP TO WORK ON AND LAST FOR A LONG TIME. MILEAGE OF APPROX. 88,000 IS BELIEVED TO BE TRUE - BUT NO WAY OF KNOWING. IF I WAS GOING TO KEEP IT I WOULD SWAP OUT THE CARPET AND MAKE SURE THE WIPERS WORKED.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE TRUCK AND AS MENTIONED IT WAS A TRADE AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE TO THE TRUCK OR CHECK ANYTHING...ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT SEEMS TO RUN WELL (KICKS YOU BACK IN YOUR SEAT WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UP). OBVIOUSLY SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY IMPLIED. BUYER TO PAY WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSE WITH $500 DEPOSIT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION END. HAPPY TO HELP WITH SHIPPING - BUT AT BUYERS EXPENSE. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN CENTRAL FLORIDA JUST NORTH OF ORLANDO.
2 KEYS COME WITH TRUCK - CLEAR TITLE. PHOTOS SHOW CONDITION - BUT DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING - PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
General Motors CEO Provides Few Details In Appearance Before Congress
Wed, Apr 2 2014It was only two months ago that Mary Barra, freshly crowned as the new General Motors chief executive officer, visited Washington DC as an esteemed guest of First Lady Michelle Obama for the State of the Union address. On Tuesday, Barra returned to the Capitol under more strained circumstances. For more than two contentious hours, she took questions from members of a House of Representatives subcommittee investigating General Motors years-long delay in initiating a recall of millions of vehicles that contained a defect that has killed at least 13 people. Why did GM accept faulty ignition switches that were below the company's set specfications? Why did GM learn about the problem in 2001 yet take no action until 2014? Will GM compensate victims' families even though the company's bankruptcy may limit its liability? Those were a few of the questions members of the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee asked. Few concrete answers were forthcoming. For her part, Barra sidestepped most of the questions, saying she wouldn't have information needed to answer them until an internal review is completed. David Friedman, the administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, testified after Barra. The biggest news that emerged from the hearing was that General Motors has retained attorney Kenneth Feinberg to advise the company on its civil and legal responsibilities. He has made a career of resolving disputes and serving in a 'fixer' role, serving as the chief of the federal government's September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, as an administrator of compensation fund for victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster and a similar fund for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. Barra, who has been GM's CEO since January but been with the company since 1980, expects to meet with Feinberg on Friday, and have a concrete plan within the next 30-60 days. Yet Barra would not say for certain Tuesday that GM would compensate the victims at all. Despite repeated questions from Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), Barra did not outline the company's intentions. "I assume GM is hiring (Feinberg) to help identify the size of claims and then compensate the victims? Is that right," DeGette asked. "Is GM willing to put together some kind of a compensation fund for these victims that Mr. Feinberg will then administer?" "We've hired him to help assess the situation," Barra replied. "So really, there's no money involved at this point," DeGette asked.
Nissan Leaf hits 3,000 sales in July, Chevy Volt climbs over 2,000
Fri, Aug 1 2014It was a good sales month for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt, with the two 'elder statesman' plug-in vehicles reaching numerical milestones in July. The Leaf sold 3,019 units and the Volt crossed the 2,000 sales level for the first time in 2014, hitting 2,020 sales. With Tesla also announcing it is delivering around 2,500 Model S EVs a month (but that's globally, compared to the US-only numbers for the Volt and Leaf we're talking about here) and Ford's plug-in vehicles selling well, we are certainly in a golden moment for EV sales. The Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. For the Volt, the 2,020 units sold represents a 13 percent increase from July of 2013 even thought year-to-date sales are down 8.7 percent this year compared to last year. Overall, total Chevrolet deliveries for July 2014 were up eight percent compared to 2013, so the Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. On the Leaf front, this is only the second time that the EV has sold more than 3,000 units in a month (the other being in May of this year). The year-over-year increase for the Leaf was 62 percent in July and represents the 17th straight month of record sales, as Nissan is more than happy to report each month. Overall, Leaf sales are up 34.6 percent, year-to-date, and Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said in a statement that a free public charging incentive was responsible. "Since we launched the No Charge to Charge promotion in the first 10 markets, we've seen a surge in Leaf sales in those areas. Leaf sales in the northeastern US are also picking up with new tax incentives for Massachusetts and Maryland residents." With No Charge To Charge set to expand to 25 markets over the next year, we expect Leaf sales to continue to grow. We will have our monthly look at all green car sales available soon, so stay tuned.
