United States

This is a 1995 Chevy S10 customized with a '98 S10 front clip, 4 cylinder engine, manual transmission with under 85,000 miles, and full airbag suspension, but has sat in a garage for over a year with no work done to it since put away. The garage fees are getting expensive so I must sell. First the exterior..it has a '98 S10 nose. The inside fender supports have been cut for 20'' rims. It has shaved door handles with door poppers controlled with remote. The bed has been fully shaved including tailgate, gas cap, and has custom license plate bracket frenched into the tailgate. Molded in roll pan, and slim line brake lights. Outside.. has been primered brown, white flush mount Tonneau cover, hood is also in white. The body is in good condition. Has one small surface rust spot on bed and a small crack where the tailgate was welded cause the Tonneau cover was slamming down on it. (Crack is about 5 inches long, an easy fix, it just has to be welded.) 85% of the body work is done, just needs some touch ups here and there, and then will be ready for paint. The suspension..has airbags front and back, tubular control arms up front, spring pockets were cut to accommodate the bags. All that it needed is gussets welded in where cut for added strength. Rear has a road grader kit, 2 five gallon tanks and 2 air compressors. When stored one year ago, both compressors worked. Last week when I checked the truck, only one compressor was coming on. Not sure if it's a wiring issue or the compressor, worst case scenario, you would have to buy a new compressor for $120.00. It also needs a high amp relay for both compressors . Its ran by a CCE 10 switch controller. Interior..its all there but radio and is  in rough shape. Has power Envoy leather seats in good condition, but the power is not hooked up yet. Has a new exhaust and cold air intake. Check engine light comes on and off at times. This started happening after I added the cold air intake. Car runs and drives, just needs some work to be a complete truck.I have no time to work on the truck anymore, so it needs to go. Also, the left driver side brake light is cracked and needs to be re-wired. The original gas tank was cracked so I added a plastic gas tank that is in the bed. Like I said, there is alot of stuff that someone needs to finish. This truck is being sold as is. No returns, no warranty. A $300 non refundable deposit is due at end of auction. The rest to be paid in cash upon pick up. The truck is located in Glen cove, NY. Buyer must contact me to make arrangements for pick up. Any questions, please feel free to email me. Thanks and good luck bidding.

IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving

Tue, Oct 11 2022

WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.

Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain

Sat, Aug 9 2014

Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.

GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore

Thu, Mar 12 2015

General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:
