Hi, today I am selling "Ol' Blue". This is a 1988 GMC regular cab 2WD pickup. I have owned it since 2003, when it had 120,000 miles. It now technically has 176,000 miles, but the truck has been mechanically rebuilt. It only has about 4,000 miles on the rebuild. Details of the rebuild below.

This was my daily driver for years. About two years ago, on a rainy night in December, I took an extra three or four seconds staring at the rising gas prices as I drove by local station. In that exact same three or four seconds, a guy in an old ford pickup in front of me missed his turn and slammed on his brakes. I braked hard, but the road was wet, so I hit him in the back. It messed up the grill, bumper, and one of the fenders. Not a serious wreck, but I went ahead and bought a front clip off a later 90's GMC truck, because it swaps out perfectly with the '88, and it looks so much better. After I installed all of these body parts, I had it painted a very pretty blue metallic color. This rebuild is only about one year old, and 4000 miles. I did this for my son, who is now off to college, and the truck is just sitting there.

Here is the list of the new/rebuilt items:

1) Front clip (hood, grille, bumper, fenders from later 90's GMC.
2) New paint
3) New a/c condenser, radiator.
4) A/C system totally rebuilt including compressor. blows cold.
5) New alternator, battery, belts and hoses.
6) New Pioneer stereo system with USB hookup, CD, and Sirius capability. New speakers too.
7) 700R4 Transmission was totally rebuilt about two weeks before the wreck!.
8) The original motor had low compression and used/burned a lot of oil, so I replaced the engine with a new Jasper 350. It has only 4000 miles on it. Oil has been changed twice.
9) Brakes are rebuilt.
10) Tires are about 60% good. Went out and found some chrome center caps for the cool rally wheels.
11) New carpet. Interior was in pretty good shape, so I did not re-do that, other than the carpet.
12) New headlights, marker lights.
13) Chrome tool box in the bed.
14) Front end totally rebuilt. Ball joints, Pitman and Idler arms, etc. All components replaced.

I have invested right at $11,000 in this rebuilding. This truck is mechanically brand new. The interior is the only thing that shows the wear of 176,000 miles, but even that is still pretty nice. There is a small tear in the driver's side of the seat, and the door panels are showing wear. See pics.

Things that are not perfect:

1) Fuel gauge: tends to hang out at the 1/4 full level. It sticks there on a regular basis. I just always zero'd the trip meter when I filled up, and drove it to 250-300 miles.
2) Tilt wheel: it has some movement up and down. needs to be tightened up. Not a big deal, but not perfect.
3) Other than the general wear of the interior, that's about it.

Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions about the truck. I am not going to give it away, but I know that I will not ever get all that money back out if it. This is going to be a basically new truck for a very reasonable price. Good Luck!

Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]

Wed, Jul 2 2014

As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 Â– that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot WheelsÂ® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.

GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers

Fri, Jan 1 2016

Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:

Second part of Forza Horizon 3 car list revealed early

Tue, Jul 26 2016

We previously brought you the first portion of Forza Horizon 3's list of 350 cars last week, and today we're bringing you part two. Apparently Fairfax Media in Australia had the list and images early and published them on The Sydney Morning Herald's website . We say early because the publication's story reveals that Playground Games, the developer of the game, plans to make the official announcement on the Forza website this Wednesday. This set of virtual machinery brings us closer to the full list, which will continue to be revealed over the coming weeks. While this part is smaller than the first one, it still features a number of notable automobiles, including the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, GMC Syclone and Ferrari Dino 246 GT. This list also adds more vintage Aussie machines, including the very cool 1974 Holden "Sandman" HQ panel truck. Fans of the Mad Max movies may remember Max's Sandman truck from the original film. Check out the list of new cars from The Sydney Morning Herald below and take at look their article for new images and insight on what the developers' goals were for the game. 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione 1970 AMC Rebel "The Machine" 1998 Aston Martin V8 Vantage V600 2011 Audi RS 5 Coupe 2011 BMW X5 M 1981 BMW M1 1992 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport 1970 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 1966 Chevrolet Nova Super Sport 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR 1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT 1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 2011 Ferrari FF 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra 1956 Ford F-100 1991 GMC Syclone 2016 Holden Special Vehicles GTS Maloo 1951 Holden 50-2106 FX Ute 1974 Holden Sandman HQ panel van 2012 Infiniti IPL G Coupe 2015 Jaguar XFR-S 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV 2014 Lamborghini Urus 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged 2005 Lotus Elise 111S 2013 Mazda MX-5 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II 2013 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR 2000 Nissan Silvia Spec-R 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2010 Renault Megane RS 250 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Related Video: News Source: The Sydney Morning HeraldImage Credit: Playground Games/Microsoft Auto News Bugatti Ford GMC Holden Technology video games forza motorsport forza horizon 3
