This is a very nice driver. It is not show quality but would not take much more work to get it there if that's what you want. I built this truck to drive but life happens and I need to sell it. This truck has lots of custom body work done to it. All the handles have been shaved as well as cab seams and bed rails. Roll pan has been added in place of bumper and the rear step on the stepside has been shaved adding a nice clean look to the rear end of the truck. The bed has a nice spray in bed liner that matches the silver paint on the hood. Paint is an 8 of 10. There are a few blemishes that aren't noticeable unless you are right up on the truck. It could use some buffing in a few places but you can't tell unless you are right up on it. There is little if any orange peel and the truck will buff to a mirror finish. Inside and out this is a very clean truck that sits and drives nice and you will get many compliments going down the road. The Odometer shows 80,000 miles but that is NOT correct. I have no clue how many miles are on this truck. When I bought the truck, the speedometer wasn't working and I have no idea how long it was out. 

The engine (5.7 Vortec TBI) has less than 10,000 miles on it and runs great with plenty of power. The transmission (700r) shifts smooth and doesn't slip. The trans does have about 150,000 miles on it though so it probably wont be long before it will need some attention. The motor doesn't leak oil anywhere. The transmission does start to leak if it isn't driven in a while...once you drive it a bit it doesn't leak anymore. As it is now, I would drive it anywhere. In fact if you buy it, I will drive it to you for a small fee and a plane ticket home or I will meet you at the San Antonio International Airport. 

The interior is super clean. It has black Mercedes leather seats with a center console that folds up to make an additional seat. I had it set up to run my ipod/phone out of an amp but never got around to buying the amp. There are new speakers at all four corners and are wired and ready to go. At this point you could do whatever you like; all you need to do is hook up the speakers and there is plenty of wire. I put a rubber floor mat in it because I like to be able to just wipe down the floor. Under the mat is some nice sound deadening material which makes for quiet driving when the a/c is on. Yes, the A/C blows ice cold air!

This truck doesn't need a thing. There are some things I was going to work on to make it nicer. I was going to get the correct side marker/reflector lights for the grill. The ones in there now aren't the right ones and look bad once you notice them. The passenger side door control panel (the part that has the switches) pops out sometimes which is an easy fix...I just haven't done it as I'm missing some clips. I was also going to spray in some more U-Pol Raptor bedliner. It looks really good right now but there are a couple spots that I would like to hit again to make it perfect. When I sprayed the bed, I also sprayed under the hood which looks really nice. I was also going to run dual exhaust and tint the windows. The exhaust sounds really good right now and there isn't a thing wrong with it...not too loud or too quiet...but I like the look of duals so that was on the list. There is still some overspray on the back window. I was going to tape it off and repaint the moulding around the window ... I just didn't get it done. The back window is really the only thing that needs attention. To me it's just ugly and old looking since the factory paint is peeling off of it. Most people wouldn't even notice it...but it bugs me because I went to all the trouble filling the seams and the window takes away from the work that was done. 

I just had the A/C serviced by a certified mechanic and it blows ice cold. The compressor seams a bit loud to me but he says its normal for the older model trucks. 

Tires are brand new all the way around and the brakes were recently redone. 

The driver's door pops open with a viper alarm remote...the alarm works very well, too. The passenger door pops open with the factory lock/unlock switch on the driver's door. Yes, there is also a manual release if you get locked out. 

I have been as thorough as possible in this listing. I have done my best to describe this truck accurately and many of the "problems" I mentioned you probably wouldn't even notice. 

If you have any questions, feel free to call me. 830 928 0816. I have clear title in my name and will update this ad if something else comes to mind. 

This truck is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. The vehicle will not leave my house until the money is in my bank.

Watch the 2022 GMC Hummer EV launch using its Watts to Freedom mode

Thu, Jul 1 2021

It’s nearly the July Fourth weekend, and GM is celebrating Independence Day a little earlier than most. The celebration comes in the form of a GMC Hummer EV demonstrating Watts to Freedom, or WTF, mode for us on video. You can watch it at the top of this post, but the idea is rather simple. ItÂ’s just a video of a Hummer development vehicle accelerating as quickly as it can from 0-60 mph and beyond. GMC claims its 1,000-horsepower electric Hummer is capable of hitting the 0-60 mph mark in “approximately 3 seconds,” which is borderline terrifying for how large of a vehicle it is. The super-quick time is possible when using the Watts to Freedom launch control mode, which “channels the propulsion systemÂ’s tremendous power into acceleration bursts.” The truck will still be plenty fast when accelerating normally, but WTF mode is what you should use to unlock its full potential. GMCÂ’s video shows us the graphics it uses in the digital cluster to signal Watts to Freedom is activated, and the whole sequence looks like it leans on U.S. military themes for both design and phrasing. For example, GMC lets you know that Watts to Freedom is ready via an “Armed” message in the cluster.  The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos Instead of a rumbling exhaust and screeching tires, the Hummer appears to silently launch with all four tires grabbing on and catapulting the truck away. It looks quick as it throws all of the weight rearward into an accelerative squat. And in case you missed it, thatÂ’s a lot of weight — GMC says itÂ’ll tip the scale at 9,046 pounds. GMC has previously said that production will begin in late 2021, and this video continues to confirm that timeframe with a note saying “initial availability Fall 2021.” Do keep in mind that only the sold-out Launch Edition is coming at that time. Other cheaper variants will follow in the years to come. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
