Up for Auction Today is my 1978 Chevy Cheyenne Big Ten. I bought this Truck from the second owner in the small town where I live. The first owner owned it from new till 1981 when he traded it in @ a Dealer in The Dalles Oregon, The owner I bought it from owned it from 1981 till This Summer When I purchased it. All The people in Klickitat Wa. where I live and found the truck say the first owner never left town with it the time he owned it. (Klickitat is about 1 mile long.) The owner I bought it from said he drove it to the dalles about 1 time a month from 1981-1992 when he parked it with a transmission leak. He swore up and down it has 21,000 miles but I have no proof of that, So Im selling it as mileage unknown! This is a big ten Model which means its a 1/2 ton with 3/4 ton chassis. Google Big Ten Chevy and it will give you a couple page explanation of this package. Truck Runs really well as it should and the transmission has been removed, inspected and resealed by a professional mechanic. He also installed a stage 1 shift kit while he was re installing it. Truck does puff a tiny bit of smoke upon start up but vanishes almost instantly. i believe is a dried out valve seal causing it. it does not use oil at all though. I had a Factory 1978 Chevrolet tailpipe/muffler installed in august. Tires have 600 miles on then and cost me $860.00 I  also had wheels powder coated at same time. belt,radiator,hoses have all been replaced. Truck has cruise control but needs cable from speedo to cruise box. right know theres a speedo cable from trans to speedo. vehicle is equipt. with air condioning but needs recharged. system is complete though. Interior is in great shape but will need a seat cover as its starting to split at seems. headliner sags so it needs to be re glued or replaced. dash is nice but speaker grill cracked this winter. I've driven this truck about 2000 miles since purchase and its been very reliable. It also has brand new battery.Body has been lightly polished and waxed.Comes with nice used factory gm grille that needs a new bow tie. I'm only selling because I'm having one of my kidneys removed on march 27 and need money for bills while I'm off. Please feel Free to call me with any questions (I really encourage it) . DO NOT BID TO LOOK AT VEHICLE, YOUR BIDDING TO OWN THIS NICE UNMOLESTED TRUCK. THIS TRUCK IS NOT PERFECT BUT I BELIEVE IT TO BEEN IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND WORTHY OF A RESTORATION.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.

GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses

Thu, Apr 7 2016

May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
