86 4x4 Duelly Silverado Camper Special on 2040-cars
Corpus Christi, Texas, United States
I really don't know where to start so here goes. I have NEVER seen one of these for sale! Back in the day they were few and far between to see in real life. I have known of this truck since it was purchased used in 1986 with 40K miles on it. It has been used some since then. This truck has come out of east Texas and is a rust free example. It has been sitting for 5 or 6 years and is in need of everything. It is not a piece of crap. It is just a tired old truck. When parked the 4X4 worked fine and the 454 has never had a valve cover off of it. It has the manual locking front hubs and a turbo 400 trans. It has the gear drive transfer case, I believe. It also has a 4:10 gears, power steering ,hydra boost power brakes with an additional hydraulic system for a trailer, power windows and door locks, cruise control and air conditioning. The rear tailgate is included and in very good condition. I have NOT tried to start this truck and it will have to be trailed to its new home. Feel free to call with any questions. I have removed the outside rear tires so that it can be loaded on a trailer. I will be happy to assist with shipping, world wide. Bill 361-331-3322 I am a restorer by trade and will do this truck if the money is right. I can/will do any or all of this truck. It is offered for sale in AS-IS condition. On May-08-14 at 06:36:16 PDT, seller added the following information: First, I can NOT believe the interest in this great old workhorse. I have posted the photos that were asked for. This truck has east Texas red dirt on it and some surface rust that's it. AGAIN, this is what I, as a restorer, would consider rust free. I see NOTHING that I would cut out and replace and see NO HOLES anywhere. The hood is not broken as is most of the cases in this body style .It has an additional H-D trailer brake system on it and a gazillion pound rear bumper!My reserve is set in the mid 3K range and that is where I will leave it. If it does NOT bring the money, I'll restore it in my shops and take it to auction. THANKS again for all of the questions. I hope I have answered them all! Bill |

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024
Tue, Jan 23 2024What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.  Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.
GM under fire from safety advocates over braking problem caused by recall fix
Thu, Feb 6 2020Safety experts are lambasting General Motors over what they say is the automaker’s slow notification of owners of certain 2019 sedans and trucks that a recall fix could cause power braking to fail and increase the risk of a crash, the Detroit Free Press reports. GMÂ’s original recall in December targeted about 550,000 Cadillac CT6 sedans and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups, all from the 2019 model year, over potentially defective electronic stability control and antilock brakes. In that case, GM said the errors would not show up as a diagnostic warning on the instrument cluster. But after GM had done recall work on 162,000 vehicles, about 1,700 owner have complained that their power brakes didnÂ’t work after they had the recall done and then used the OnStar app to start their vehicle. GM then issued a supplemental fix for customers whoÂ’d already had their vehicles serviced. In this case, a diagnostic warning should illuminate saying either “Service Brake Assist” or “Service ECS,” which GM says is a signal that a customer should not drive the vehicle and instead call their dealer, which will tow the vehicle and have it repaired. Safety advocates say the automaker hasnÂ’t gone far enough to protect customers. “The fact that you could potentially start a vehicle and not have brakes is a pretty risky proposition,” Sean Kane, president of the Safety Research and Strategies, which works on auto issues for plaintiffs and governmental organizations, told the Freep. “The fact that they wouldnÂ’t notify owners (sooner) is pretty stunning.” GM told the Freep it was required to notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and file paperwork before it notified customers about the original recall, which was made Dec. 12. It then had to investigate and resolve the problem created by its original recall fix before alerting customers. GMÂ’s call center and dealers are contacting the remaining 900 customers who havenÂ’t yet had the update made to the original recall repair. GM also hired a vendor to send recall letters to the 550,000 customers affected by the original recall notifying them about the update. There are no known injuries or deaths related to the problem.
