This is the perfect 4x4 SUV for just about anything.  It has the power to tow, the factory off road package, and room inside for 5 adults to sit comfortably.  I bought this truck last June when I sold my pickup so I could tow my Waverunners and make the occasional trips to Home Depot.  The truck served it function well, but I have decided to start a lawn care business on the side and will need another pickup, so the Tahoe must go.  I bought this truck intended to fully restore it, and it is the perfect truck to do this with because of it being a Florida truck with none of the typical northern rust.  I have done some of the work, which I will list below, but there is some remaining.  I  am offering this at No Reserve, so it should be a great deal, especially for those of you up north still requiring 4WD.  I have Clear Title in hand.  

Overall mechanical condition of the truck is good.  Brand New Transfer Case Motor, 4WD Selector Switch, Idler and Pitman Steering Arms, A/C Belt Tensioner and Belt, and Transmission Flush.  Additionally my mechanic replaced the rear main engine seal as it developed a slight oil leak.  The truck now has no leaks.  The only items identified by my mechanic to replace that have not been done  are Front Struts, followed by an alignment and front tires.  The truck currently pulls slightly right, and has worn out the front tires because of this.  Additionally the rear wiper is not working.  Other than that everything is in good mechanical condition. 

Cosmetically the truck is clean, but still needs some TLC to be perfect.  The good news is there is no rust on this truck aside from where the paint is missing on the rear bumper.  The underside and engine bay are amazingly clean for a 12 year old truck.  The exterior has some dents which are shown in the pictures, and it needs a paint job.  The passenger side rear cap for the luggage rack is missing as well. The alloy wheels show some cracking in the clear coat (cosmetic only).  

The interior restoration was begun by me.  I replaced all the carpet with better than OEM material.  The rear seats were replaced because of problems with the folding mechanism on the old ones.  The new ones fold and stow as designed.  The dash was completely removed and striped, and then repainted, so none of the typical peeling paint on the dash that is typical with these trucks.  The front seats still need to be replaced (although the do operate properly) and some of the rear cargo trim.  The headliner is beginning to sag as well.  All of the windows work properly as well.  Cruise control works.  A/C blows cold.  

The stereo was replaced with a new Kenwood CD Player with USB and Aux inputs on the front.  It has a remote control as well.  I bypassed the factory amplifier as it wasn't working (common problem in these trucks), so the head unit powers all of the speakers now.

Chevy Volt has worst sales month since August 2011, Nissan Leaf also down

Tue, Feb 3 2015

January is traditionally a time when new car shoppers take a break. For the last few years, if we isolate our focus to just the first two major plug-in cars in the US market, we see that the first month of the year was lower – often dramatically lower – than the 11 that followed. So, when you see the Chevy Volt dropped and Nissan Leaf sales figures for January 2015, don't be too surprised. The Volt sold only 542 units last month, that model's lowest since August 2011. That also represents a 41 percent drop from January 2014, and it reinforces the thought that if anyone out there is interested in a new Volt, they're going to be waiting for the new model to drop later this year. While we do expect sales to climb in February and into spring, we won't be surprised if the general Volt trend remains quiet until the second-generation arrives. On the Leaf side of the ledger, January's low sales numbers were still about twice as high as the Volt's – the Leaf sold 1,070 units last month, the lowest since February 2013 – but it did break a streak for the Japanese automaker. Usually, each month represents at least an increase over the same month a year ago, but that wasn't the case this time. In January 2014, Nissan sold 1,252 Leafs. Still, Brendan Jones, Nissan's director of electric vehicle sales and infrastructure, issued an upbeat statement: "We saw a significant increase in demand in December from Nissan Leaf customers looking to take advantage of federal and state incentives at the end of the tax year, which pulled some sales ahead. We're confident that EV sales will continue to rise over time due to increasing emission regulations and other reasons for purchase of EVs such as lower operating costs, reducing dependence on foreign energy sources, environmental concerns and a great driving experience." The numbers will tell us soon enough. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid ev sales brendan jones

GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement

Sun, May 31 2015

General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.

GM is not aware of any humidity-related ruptures in Takata air bag inflators in any GM-badged vehicles in the field and knows of no crashes, injuries, fatalities or complaints regarding air bag performance in these vehicles.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
