this is a dependable truck and runs properly without any drama. it has a block heater which i have never had to use because it starts right up in the winter with just the glow-plugs. two new batteries with warranty cards were added in oct. 2012. has had a documented $2400 in new parts in the 18 months i have owned it (that is not counting any labor) and is now mechanically excellent. that includes a low-mileage replacement transmission--a heavy-duty 4l80e from a dually 3500. with that, the front and rear differentials and transfer case were drained and refilled with amsoil synthetic lubrication, as well as the tranny, and of course, new trans filter. vehicle has an extra-large tru-cool low-pressure-drop auxiliary tranny cooler. the rear-end is a semi-floating 14-bolt unit. vehicle is considered a "heavy half-ton". vehicle frame and underneath sheet-metal have been rust-proofed with the kbs system, and any remaining bare metal has been oiled. brakes stop the vehicle evenly, don't make noise and have plenty of meat left on the pads. the front end, steering and suspension work as they should without any vibration, looseness or pulling to either side. vehicle has a 4" exhaust with stainless magnaflow and resonator. vehicle passes ohio e-check which is just a visual inspection for diesels. there are no dash/check engine lights on at all. have a normal, clear title in hand and it is titled in my name and is my daily driver. as such mileage will increase a bit through the week. vehicle is also advertised for local sale and i reserve the right to end the auction early if that happens. cash on pickup in richfield ohio, 44286, within 3 days of auction end. a nonrefundable $500 deposit by paypal will hold the vehicle for an extra 14 days. sold as is where is, but am willing to assist with shipping if i am paid in cash first, and if you pay for and make the shipping arrangements. the interior is a cloth bench seat without rips but does show signs of wear. boost and egt gauges on a-pillar. the passenger seat power tilt function does not work, but everything else on the vehicle does, including 4wd, heat and air-conditioning. the a/c compressor ha been replaced with a redesigned non-leaking sanden unit. there was a minor accident in 2004 that caused a barely visible dent in right front bumper. there are a couple of nickel-sized areas on the body that are bubbling but no actual rust and the frame is outstanding. truck comes with the studded snow tires mounted on the rear plus a set of 4 matching aluminum rims with bridgestone dueler a/t revos with a lot of tread. the two aluminum toolboxes and integrated rollbar/lightbar also come with the vehicle as well as the 1 key that works for both boxes. the toolboxes are 49.5" apart allowing for you to carry sheets of drywall and plywood in the bed of the truck with only 7" sticking up out over the top of the rollbar. new pump-mounted-driver and relocation kit were just installed this weekend which evened-out the rpm at highway cruising speed. selectable electronically controlled transmission rocker switch that provides for quicker and firmer shifts when towing. no leaks, no vibrations, no problems. thorough maintenance has all been done and this truck needs nothing until you swap the summer rims back on in the spring and change the oil.

Chevy Spark EV could be coming to Midwest later this year
Tue, Jun 10 2014Ohio is not known as a hotbed of EV sales – if anything, the state is a bit anti-EV, thanks to a legislative fight against Tesla's direct sales model – but it might be on Chevrolet's short list to expand the market for the Spark EV in the near future. The latest official GM press release on the battery-powered Spark still says the car is "available exclusively in California and Oregon," but Hybrid Cars found four Ohio dealerships that list a Spark EV on their websites, with hints the the car will be coming to the Midwest state by the end of the summer. See, for example, here, here, here and here. But that's probably not going to happen, according to Randy Fox, GM communication's manager for passenger cars. Fox told AutoblogGreen that, "At this point in time, we don't have any official plans to expand the Spark EV beyond California and Oregon." The reason is that California and Oregon have the infrastructure to support EVs, Fox said, and GM wants to be able to support its EV customers. "We are continuing to look at other options," he said. "The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure" – John O'Dell John O'Dell, a senior editor at Edmunds.com, told AutoblogGreen that, "It makes sense for [GM] to expand sales and it makes sense to do it in a quiet manner, to get these vehicles on the road. The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure. If someone in my neighborhood has one and he likes it, then maybe I can trust him. So it's important to get these vehicles on the road." Chevy sold 182 Spark EVs last month, a significant increase over the 98 sold in April. That's still small potatoes compared to the 3,000+ Nissan Leaf EVs sold last month, but making the electric Spark available in Ohio, say, or GM's home state of Michigan could boost those numbers. AutoblogGreen called a few dealerships in Michigan to see what they had heard. One salesman said he didn't think GM had started production yet but the inventory manager for another dealership said the Spark EV is scheduled to arrive in the Midwest in "roughly the fourth quarter." What would GM's incentive be to offer the car in markets outside of California where it can gain ZEV credits with each sale?
Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015
Tue, Jul 8 2014Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
