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.

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power

Tue, Sep 5 2017

The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years

Wed, Jan 28 2015

If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.
