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.

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
