1985 Chevy 3/4 ton diesel 4X4. Has 67,000 original miles. It was used by a city only for painting curbs before I owned it. Interior is in very good condition and it has a seat out of a 97 chevy pickup. The body is above average for the age. It has some rust on the rocker panels and  the cab corners. The drivers side is mainly just surface rust and paint chipped off. The passenger side has a small hole rusted in the front of the rocker panel. Overall a nice looking pickup. It has some oil leaks but nothing out of the ordinary for a 6.2. Engine runs strong.  It has a turbo 400 transmission with the cast iron transfer case. This is a very tight pickup for its age. It has had new ball joints and a couple new u-joints in the last 2000 miles. It also has a gear reduction starter. The automatic glow plugs work. It could use new tires, they are not much. Also it has one battery getting bad but the other is new. It has a 5th wheel ball that can be taken in and out and a receiver hitch. There is a salvage mark on the title. THERE WAS NO FRAME DAMAGE. It was just the front fender, grille, and bumper that was damaged. The insurance company totaled it because of the high price of GM replacement parts for this generation of pickup. It runs and shifts great and starts good when cold.

The pickup has been sitting in a garage for the last 3 years. I have it out and running now but will not guarantee there are no issues from sitting but there are none that I know of. This is by no means a perfect pickup but is above average and I have described it the best I can. You are buying a 28 year old pickup so don't expect 5 year old condition. Please read the description carefully before bidding. If you have any questions at all or would like to look at it please call me at 507-220-5242.

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes

Thu, Feb 5 2015

General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer 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.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
