This is a great truck. It is 4x4, turbo diesel, dump truck with an 8ft power angle Meyer snow plow. This truck is 12,000 lb GVWR, and has no trouble hauling anything I have ever thrown at it.
I boxed in the stakebed for hauling. The top is hinged so that a front loader can load gravel straight in the top, and then it flips back to cover the top of the box. The truck was primarily used for hauling wood and wood chips cut up by the chipper it towed behind it.
The Good:
Dump Bed is PTO driven (not electric)
Starts and runs well.
Turbo Boost Gauge Installed on A Pillar
Exhaust system upgraded from the turbo back with Diamond Eye Exhaust
This truck can be loaded down and tow to capacity without getting hot (see also the bad)
Has a combination 2" Ball / Pintle Hitch
4X4 Engages properly
Braided Stainless Oil Cooler Lines
Remote Mounted PMD (Below Bumper)
Fluid Damper harmonic balancer
Installed 2 new batteries this winter
Complete new brake lines front an back. ABS Brakes function properly.
The plywood chip box can be unbolted from the stake body dump, and is painted inside and out with 3 coats of premium (Behr) outdoor paint. This is a couple hundred dollars worth of hardware, paint and wood.
Tool storage on the side of the box for rakes, shovel, broom and pitchfork (none of these included)
This chip box is perfect for working in yards, has no trouble passing under power lines to residential housing, but is big enough to hold lots of material.
Bed Size is 9 ft long x 7'6" wide with 4ft tall sides and a hinged top.
THE BAD:
Although the sheetmetal on the truck is good, just as it looks in the pictures, I did a fiberglass repair to the corner of the cab. This is shown in one of the pictures. The truck still looks good, and I was never embarrassed by it on a job site. The fiberglass work is solid & passes inspection, but it isn't pretty.
The back right tail light is zip tied back in place.
The plow is a huge 8 ft wide unit, and tall. It blocks a ton of air. It has no trouble under 45 MPH. Above that speed the starts to get hot with the plow on. It doesn't matter if it is 32 degrees or minus 32 degrees, above 45 plus a hill the temp will start moving higher. I don't know how high it will go, I have never let it boil over, but don't plan on cruising the freeway with the plow on this truck. If that is important to you, you could try a "Plow Flow Master" to allow the truck to go faster with the plow on it, or get a different truck ( or maybe a smaller plow). (see the good: this truck will not overheat on the hottest day of summer fully loaded down... unless you put the plow on the front).
Heater fan only works in the first 4 positions.
There is a seat cover on the bench seat, part of the drivers side is ripped out of the seat. It is not uncomfortable, but it is there.

GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest
Thu, Mar 12 2015Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.

Recharge Wrap-up: Range-extended EV taxis in London, 2016 Chevy Volt interior two years old
Fri, Feb 13 2015The first Metrocab range-extended EV taxis are operating on the streets of London. The cabs use a 12.2-kWh battery and two 50-kW motors, as well as a 1.0-liter gasoline range extender. Fuel economy is 98 MPGe on the ECE101 cycle, and total driving range is over 348 miles before needing to charge or refuel. Cabbies can expect to save GBP20 to GBP40 (about $30 to $60) per day on average. "The cash savings on fuel are significant, the ride and comfort outstanding, and my first customers are thrilled with the new cab," says the first operator of the new EV taxi, Preston Morris. "With its air suspension providing unrivaled comfort, panoramic glass roof for views of the city and silent powertrain, what's not to like?" Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet has had the interior design of the 2016 Volt finished for two years already, according to GM interior designer John McDougall. Beginning around 2010, GM received sketches from designers worldwide before narrowing it down to a handful of designs. Then the top three choices were molded from clay. The chosen theme was then refined for up to 18 months. "Every little thing you can imagine goes into that," says McDougall. "The glare angle from the windows, the placement of the controls, the placement of the seat. You have to create something that's beautiful and functional." Read more at GM Authority and at Inside EVs. More details have emerged about the Second Life Batteries Alliance. Vattenfall has announced a research project in partnership with BMW and Bosch to use retired EV batteries for stationary, grid-connected energy storage in Hamburg, Germany. Over 100 lithium-ion batteries from BMW i3 and ActiveE vehicles will make up a two-mWh storage unit for grid balancing, enough to power 30 four-person households for a week. The system is "compact enough to fit in a small building," says Bosch. Such storage systems are especially fit for storing and moving alternative forms of energy, which often fluctuate in supply more than electricity from a traditional power plant. Vattenhall will operate the storage unit for 10 years, with Bosch managing the batteries, during which time the three partners hope to learn more about battery applications and their performance over time.
