Phone:219-595-2530 Please include name and phone number in your email-reply. If you are in the market for a good work/pleasure truck you my consider looking into 2011 or newer, because there are some major changes applied to this year, that are not available in 2010 and older, including engine, transmission, suspension, stability, frame, brakes, comfort etc. Smart transmission (smart computer, shifting): Vehicle has a shift stabilization feature that adjust the transmission shifting to the current driving conditions. The transmission uses adaptive shift controls. Adaptive shift controls continually compares key shift parameters to pre-programmed ideal shifts stored in the transmission computer. The transmission constantly makes adjustments to improve vehicle performance according to how the vehicle is being used. Transmission manual mode with range selection mode: It lets driver select the range of gears appropriate for current driving conditions. Selecting gears 1 - 3, helps reducing and maintaining vehicle speed without using brakes on: hilly, winding roads (gear 3), steep mountain roads (gear 2), major/severe downgrades and off-road driving, deep snow or mud (gear 1). Low traction mode: Assists in vehicle acceleration when road conditions are slippery, such as with ice or snow. Tow/haul mode: The tow/haul adjusts the transmission shift pattern to reduce shift cycling, providing increased performance, vehicle control, and transmission cooling when towing or hauling heavy loads. Cruise grade braking: Cruise grade braking assists when driving on a downhill grade. It maintains vehicle speed by automatically implementing a shift schedule that uses the engine and the transmission to slow the vehicle. Four-wheel drive with locking differential: Shifts between two-wheel drive high and four-wheel drive high can be made at any vehicle speed. Very useful when you are driving on the highway in the winter in two-wheel drive and suspect ice on some bridges. For some other trucks you are required to slow down or stop to be able to shift in to four-wheel drive. Hitting brakes to slow down can be very dangerous or fatal on ice. Four-wheel drive high, use when extra traction is needed, such as snowy or icy roads or in most of-road situations. This setting also engages the front axle to help drive the vehicle. This is the best setting to use when plowing snow. Four-wheel drive low, this setting also engages front axle and delivers extra torque. You may never need this setting. It sends maximum power to all four wheels.You might choose this setting while driving off-road in deep snow, and while climbing or descending steep hills. Locking differential automatically locks both wheels on the axle so if one slips other one still engages. Shifting case neutral position: Allows your vehicle to be towed without any damage to the transmission, and without the need of lifting wheels, unlike most other automatic four-wheel, all-wheel, and two-wheel drive vehicles. This truck can be towed behind RV with all wheels on the ground, or with the tow-dolly, with front or rear wheels off the ground. Quote: "The big changes for the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD happen under the skin. The new fully boxed frame is much beefier than last year, increasing capability and aiding road manners. The new frame is five times stiffer torsionally than the outgoing frame. The new independent suspension and leaf-spring rear suspension are larger and stronger, increasing the front axle rating to 6,000 pounds, which means a snow plow can be used on all 2011 iterations. It has also had a positive effect on towing and hauling capability. The stronger frame also improves durability and allows for finer and more comfortable suspension tuning. In addition, GM has used a hydraulic body mount for the rear of the cab. As a result, the 2011 Silverado HD rides much better, without as many of the up-and-down motions commonly associated with pickup trucks. Steering, handling and braking are improved as well. The new steering is more direct, with less play on center, and the stiffer structure allows the Silverado HD to react quicker to steering inputs. The brakes are much more substantial with larger rotors and calipers, giving them less pedal travel and a firmer, more confident feel. If you've driven a Silverado HD or half-ton recently, you won't recognize the steering and braking of the new HD. It's much better..."

Cadillac could base its entry-level sedan on the Chevy Cruze [UPDATE]
Wed, Apr 27 2016UPDATE: Cadillac spokesperson Donny Nordlicht tells Autoblog , "The post speculating on a future Cadillac model derived from the Chevrolet Cruze is completely false." Premium automakers Mercedes-Benz and Audi have seen plenty of success with new small front-drive-based sedans. The CLA-Class had its best January ever this year, while Audi moved more of its new A3 in 2015 than its predecessor sold in 2005 through 2010 combined. The fact that Cadillac wants a piece of that pie is no surprise, then. There's a new rumor that GM's luxury brand could launch its own compact – possibly called CT2 – to battle the Germans. Cadillac, a brand that's pushed hard to rebuild its rear-drive reputation, could develop a new entry-level model based on the front-wheel-drive 2016 Chevrolet Cruze's D2XX platform. Go ahead and make your Cimarron jokes. Sources are telling GM Inside News that a Cadillac built on the Delta platform would ditch the Cruze's turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder for a 1.5-liter turbo in base models. General Motors' well received 2.0-liter turbo four would serve in higher-end models. According to GMIN, the Delta-based Cadillac would likely command a $6,000 to $9,000 premium over the Cruze, so figure $23,000 to $26,000 on the low end to $30,000 to $33,000 for something at the top of the range. As much as we dislike the kind of badge engineering that brought us the Cavalier-based Cadillac Cimarron in the '80s, the company has done an admirable job of distinguishing vehicles on shared platforms lately. A Delta-platform Cadillac would at least have a good basis – the new Cruze is surprisingly comfy. That said, we question GM's rationale if this rumor is indeed true. Put simply, Cadillac needs another sedan like I need another student loan payment. The company has four sedans, three of which overlap two segments, and none of which are selling very well. That's not because they're bad, but because customers want crossovers, of which Caddy has but one – the new XT5. Spending the time and money to add a fifth sedan to the mix when the company desperately needs to flesh out its CUV range would be a tremendous mistake. As much as we hate to say it, if Cadillac really wants to add a small, entry-level car to its range, it'd better be a crossover. Related Video:
GM tells owners not to use SUV wipers due to fire risk
Sun, Oct 11 2015General Motors is recalling 31,685 examples of the 2016 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia because a short circuit in the windshield wiper motor can potentially lead to a fire. Due to the danger, the company is asking owners not to use the wipers until the problem is fixed, according to The Detroit Free Press citing the Associated Press. A manufacturing defect in the wiper motor cover means that the electrical terminals can come into contact and cause a short. The part could "melt, smoke, or catch fire," according to a statement from GM. The company will get them fixed immediately, and dealers will replace the cover. If there's bad weather at the time the owner specifies to get the recall work completed, the automaker will come pick up the crossovers. Depending on parts availability, the automaker will supply a rental car for customers, as well. The issue was discovered at the factory. According to the company's statement, only 6,405 actually made it to customers, and they were notified immediately by overnight letter. The rest were in dealer stock. The affected crossovers carry build dates between August 18, 2015 and September 24, 2015. Of those, there are 29,295 in the US and 1,073 in Canada. GM Statement: General Motors has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall approximately 29,295 2016 model year Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia SUVs in the U.S. because the front windshield wiper motor may overheat when in use because of a manufacturing defect. In some cases, the front windshield wiper motor cover may melt, smoke or catch fire. The approximately 6,405 customers who have taken delivery of these vehicles were notified by overnight letter and are urged to contact a GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service appointment. These customers should not use the front windshield wipers until they have been repaired. If weather conditions prevent driving the vehicle without using the windshield wipers, GM will arrange to pick up the vehicle for servicing. If repair parts are unavailable, GM will provide a rental car at no cost until parts become available. The total population, including Canada, Mexico and exports, is approximately 31,685. About 25,280 of these vehicles are in dealer stock and will not be sold until repairs are made.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For 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!"
