5.7 liter TBI

This truck was originally sold on February 11, 1991 to RB Grammer in Victoria, Texas. He kept it in his garage for his entire ownership. On September 14, 2012, it was sold to Mr. Van Hook with 34,653 miles on it. He kept it parked in his garage; after a year, his wife got tired of it sitting in the garage and he sold it to me – he had only driven it 90 miles in one year.

I bought it in July 2013 and the odometer read 34,741. The factory original white walls and running boards were still on the truck, so naturally, I drove it immediately to Discount Tire and bought BF Goodrich TAKOs and removed the fiberglass running boards – 20 year old tires won’t last long. The truck now has 39,210 – I’ve put on almost 4500 miles in a year. However, it’s not my daily driver – I have a 2013 Suburban 2500 for that. But I did drive the truck around Houston in any weather and took it Brenham (65 miles each way) quite a bit. Even in 100 degrees in traffic, the AC is cold and the engine temp hangs at 180.

After I got it, I had it aligned, had the window tint put on over the factory tint, and replaced the squeaky belt tensioner assembly with a new one and a new serpentine belt. The rear end was sagging a bit (like all these old Burbs seem to do) so I had a 1” zero-rate block put on the rear to level it out. I also had my excellent electronics installer remove the stock radio (I still have it – it works great) with an Alpine deck so I could use the ipod in the center console and Bluetooth for my iPhone. Also, I had a MITO rear view mirror installed so I could have homelink for my garages – it has the temp and auto-dimming functions too.

The truck has lived in my AC/heated garage for the past year. It’s all very original but the 1991 GM build quality isn’t quite like my 2013. But it is as it was built. My paint gauge (I like old classics) says that the paint is all original with no resprays – which is remarkable because many of these Suburbans had paint that would peel off after a few years. I attribute this to the garaged life it has led. No dash cracks. No interior fading. No funny smells – smells like factory GM cloth.

Runs and drive wonderfully. Stops well, idles well, doesn’t wander. The four-wheel drive works. The AC is very cold and it’s never been opened – front and rear AC. No leaks, doesn’t smoke at startup or otherwise. Engine bay has never been cleaned – it actually just looks that way. Always starts right up first try. Passed emissions inspection without incident.

Known issues – all are listed – see the last few pictures for a visual:

· The windshield cracked on me about a month ago – took a highway rock. It’s the original laminated windshield so I have mixed feelings about replacing it because it’s off to the side and not in my view.

· The rear barn doors have a big mark on them like something slid down and scratched the paint.

· One big deep knick in the paint.

· A couple of stains on the carpet – center hump and rear cargo.

· A couple of paint rubbings where the running boards mated to the body around the wheel wells.

No rust anywhere. No mechanical issues. None. I never towed with it, the previous owner never towed with it, and I don’t think the original owner ever towed with it. Feel free to drive it to Alaska – it’s ready.

Some of the original factory options on this truck:

· Light French Blue Metallic paint on dark blue cloth

· 5.7 liter TBI

· 4-speed transmission with OD

· HD oil cooler and transmission oil cooler

· 3.42 limited slip rear axle

· Towing package

· Front quad shocks (didn’t know this option existed)

· Power side mirrors (not an easy task when you have vent windows too)

· Power everything

· Front/rear AC

· Original rubber floormats

· Tilt and cruise control

· Lighting group with overhead console

· Automatic locking hubs

· Front power seats with high back buckets and center console

· Third-row bench

· Factory tinted windows

The truck is fantastic. It’s not a show truck, but I bought it because it was so amazing in its condition due to the owners before me who took very good care of it. And I love the color – very unique. I’ve got to shrink my classic cars – I just sold a low-mile Mercedes wagon and now it’s time for this one.

The truck is on the west side of Houston; clear title is in my name. I won’t disclose the reserve but it’s reasonable.

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.

Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra could get independent rear suspension

Fri, Jan 3 2020

The Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra could reportedly receive a variant of the four-link independent rear suspension found under the new Tahoe and Suburban. While that's not a surprise, a recent report suggests electrification, not comfort, convinced General Motors to make the change. Replacing the time-tested solid rear axle with an independent suspension will improve comfort, handling and off-road prowess, while adding weight, and likely making the trucks a little bit more expensive. It's a fair trade-off, but GM Authority learned the real reason for the swap is that at least one of the pickups will spawn an electric model, and it's more difficult to package a bulky battery pack around a solid rear axle. The independent rear suspension takes up far less space, even if it has more moving parts. General Motors will build its first regular-production electric pickup on an evolution of the Silverado's T1 platform named BT1, according to the same source. The b stands for -- you guessed it -- batteries. The firm reportedly doesn't want to make two suspensions for cost reasons, so the independent setup will come standard regardless of whether the truck runs on gasoline, diesel, or electricity. As a bonus, Chevrolet and GMC could choose to offer their T1-based trucks with Magnetic Ride Control or an air suspension, options available on the 2021 Suburban and Tahoe. The independent rear suspension will also find its way to the next-generation GMC Yukon due to be revealed January 14, and to the 2021 Cadillac Escalade scheduled to make its debut February 4. The long-rumored, born-again Hummer will get it, too, because it will arrive as an electric model built on the BT1 platform. It's worth noting none of this is official, and General Motors has remained quiet about what's next for its new suspension design, and what will be under its electric truck's sheet metal. If the GM Authority report is accurate, the Silverado (pictured) and the Sierra could ditch their solid rear axle for the 2021 model year. The change will likely be accompanied by other tweaks inside and out. Featured Gallery 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 View 16 Photos Chevrolet GMC Truck

Mary Barra reportedly confirms GM's electric pickup truck plans

Tue, Apr 30 2019

According to Motor Authority, CEO Mary Barra confirmed General Motors' intentions to build an electric pickup truck this week. Whether or not it would be an all-new vehicle is unknown. The news comes not even a week after Ford announced a $500 million investment in electric-vehicle startup Rivian. First, electric powertrains were integrated into cars. Then came the crossovers and the SUVs. Naturally, then, the next wave will be pickup trucks. Ford is set to produce an electric F-150, Rivian has the R1T, and now General Motors has reportedly confirmed its plans to introduce a competitor into the field. The article says the topic was brought up in a recent investor call as part of a brief overview of the automaker's electrification strategy. That's where the details end, however, as there is no indication of a timeline, what GM brand would carry the truck, or whether it would be an entirely new product or an adaptation of a current model. The latter seems most likely, which points to the Chevrolet Silverado or the GMC Sierra as possibilities. Chevrolet has been GM's electrification leader this decade with the Bolt and Volt, so an electric Silverado would align well with that messaging and branding. However, an electric pickup would likely be a pricier premium product, which could align it better with GMC. Autoblog has reached out to GM for comment and will update this space when we get a response. Green Rumormill Chevrolet GMC Truck Electric Future Vehicles Mary Barra electric truck chevrolet silverado
