1978 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado Trailering Special. This Suburban was special ordered as a two wheel drive 3/4 ton with the rare trailering special option which included, one ton suspension, 4.10 gears, heavy duty springs, shocks, front and rear sway bars, bigger front disc and rear drum brakes, heavy duty tow hitch, trailer brake module and wiring harness. This truck with this option was installed with the LF8 454 which had different heads and cam for more torque and did not have all the smog equipment. The motor was rebuilt 40K ago. It has a MX1 Turbo 400 transmission that has been upgraded with a shift kit for firmer shifts. It also has from the factory a heavy duty transmission cooler and engine oil cooler. This makes it rated at 11,000 GCW (gross combined weight). It is also equipped with dual exhaust as well which is new. The options are as follows, power steering, power brakes, HEI ignition, deluxe air conditioning which blows ice cold, electric tailgate window, soft-ray glass which is all perfect, tilt steering, cruise control, headlamp warning buzzer, tachometer, deluxe cloth interior, am/fm stereo, door edge guards, 40 gallon fuel tank, chrome grill, chrome front bumper guards, Silverado option, drip moldings and two tone paint. This Suburban has 164K on the odometer and runs great, starts up on cold mornings with the choke on and comes to idle when it warms up. Factory wheels, deluxe caps and new tires with warranty. The headliner and front carpet are all new and the rest of the interior looks amazing! On the drivers seat upright, the fabric is starting to split, this fabric is still available. Now for the outside, this Suburban is real straight for its age, most of the paint is original and very presentable, the hood is thin but glossy like no tomorrow, even the door jams are perfect. There is a little rust under the driver door rocker panel but it is very minor. The right rear lower quarter panel has a small amount of bubbling as well, but again, very minor. The chrome is amazing throughout and the rear bumper is new. This truck comes with all of the history, window sticker, build sheet, service parts identification decal, owners manual, maintenance schedule and all service and repair records. This truck is an excellent candidate for a tow vehicle for your race car, horses, travel trailer, utility trailer, or whatever you desire and in all confidence!! Special ordered and purchased new from Murray Chevrolet in Gresham, Or. I purchased this truck from the original family 10 years ago. Every time I take it out, it draws a crowd of people who can't believe the condition. It has been stored in doors it's whole life and it shows. If your in the market for an early Suburban that tows, thats in amazing condition, look no further, this is a find.

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV
Tue, Feb 23 2016The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
