So, due to blowing my back out, I can no longer get in and out of this truck, so I need something smaller. I bought this truck some years back from the original owner when it was still under factory warranty. I bought it to pull a RV I used for a summer then sold. Then I used it to pull a boat my wife made me sell...so, it doesn't get much use except for the occasional single aluminum car trailer for my antique car...so this thing really never towed but maybe 10,000 miles in it's life. It's a great truck, and I take very good care of it. It's never given me any real issues and I'm meticulous with maintenance. The brakes are all new on it within the last 6 months. The tires have maybe 5000 miles on them, they are like brand new. They are not recaps but brand new Mastercraft tires. The truck is white with black leather interior. The interior looks like it has 40,000 miles on it. No wear at all virtually. It has all the options, heated seats, ON STAR, power windows and locks, CD player, ect. No sun roof and no navigation.

 

Last spring, I was driving through a pretty good sized puddle just after installing this really cool ram air setup that I seen on "Trucks" TV Show and I sucked some water in the turbo and hydrolocked the engine. So, I went out and found a 60,000 mile 2006 LBZ engine and had it installed by a very reputable diesel shop outside of Chicago. I got a deal and bought the transmission as well insofar as mine had 280000 miles on it. So now, the engine and trans has 70,000 miles on it. I have all the receipts for all the work I had done ($10,000) plus tires and brakes I just had done. warranty good on engine and trans for another 4 months.

 

I had planned to keep this truck forever...but, after falling down a concrete flight of stairs after a few beers, my back won't allow me to keep it. I need something smaller like a Tahoe that's easier to get in and out of and can occasionally tow a trailer.

 

The exterior was always washed weekly and the truck is always inside. It's a nice truck! There are no issues with it.

 

I have more pics I will put up tomorrow.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV

GM Design shows another early Hummer EV sketch

Sun, Aug 8 2021

Like a new mother who's still so excited about her one-year-old baby that she can't stop showing ultrasound photos, General Motors is so excited about its biggest new baby, the battery-electric GMC Hummer, that it can't stop showing off development design sketches. The off-road monster with the 200-kWh Ultium battery pack debuted online on October 21 last year. The next day, the GM Design Instagram page posted some of the Hummer's early "theme sketches" leading to the production version. These had a conceptual flair to them, but were rather restrained. A month later, GM uncovered a series of development renderings showing off a much wilder truck bursting with more angles than a geometry text book. The archives have opened up again with a new "ideation sketch," this one between the first believable sketches and the second truck that Master Chief and Doomguy share on their days off.  All three sets of drawings show similar three-box proportions, it's the details that got a ton of love. On this newest sketch, the fenders flare a touch more than on the production truck, but the wheel wells are cut with the kind of clearance found on a Baja 1000 Trophy Truck. Out back, save for the tow hooks, the rear end is totally different than production. The sketch puts illuminated Hummer script across a narrow tailgate flanked by small square, taillights housing six individual elements. Beneath that, a bumper-less rear end puts nothing more than a sloped bash pate between the truck and the rocks it's just scrambled over. To our eyes, this is the best blend of production-ready comfort from the first sketches and zoot suit angles from the second that we've seen so far.  First deliveries of the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 are expected before the year is out. When we get a chance to absorb the truck in its native habitats, we'll know whether there's cause for disappointment at what could have been. If so, with all this hunger among the monied for something different, we feel like restomodders have been given the perfect head starts on custom rebodied Hummers that would make things right.
