Roscoe, Illinois, United States

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.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
