----------REDUCED PRICE---------- ----------LOW RESERVE---------- This is a very nice and clean 1993 GMC S15 Sonoma extended cab truck. It has the very powerful and reliable 4.3 Liter V6 engine, with a rock solid automatic transmission. It is absolutely beautiful, and there aren't very many S15's for sale in this condition. Even the S10's are getting hard to find like this (un-molested and straight with no rust) and they aren't worth as much. Please refer to the Kelley Blue Book for the value of a 1993 S15 in this condition, it is a nice surprise that they are worth in excess of my reserve price, and CLIMBING steadily. The tires are 4 months old, having about 90-95% tread. Brakes are very good, all pads are at 85-90% condition. Included in this sale are the original Sonoma wheels as well, with tires on them at about 50% wear. Interior is very nice and super clean, with minimal wear for 20yrs. Dash has brand new black dash pad installed today (Jan 28) (see my feedback and look through orders) Engine DOES NOT smoke. It is rock solid and very powerful. No misses at all, and super strong. Engine fires up and comes to idle from choke as designed even in 15 degree weather, heater works very well too. Throttle body is very clean. My Grandfather always supplemented STA-BIL in every fill-up. This truck is in excellent condition. It has never been abused in any way, never lowered, never modified (except for the muffler, which is an improvement) My Son and I have literally gone through every square inch of it. It was owned my Grandfather and his common law wife. It was their 'trip truck' that they used for visiting family, and never driven in bad weather. Oil was changed religiously, and I know this because I did it whenever it needed to be done when the dealership service plan stopped. This week, I had a Jegs 30235 chambered muffler installed with twin turn-downs at the axle. This muffler gives the truck a very nice and deep sound, while freeing up horsepower and gas mileage (which was around 23mpg, now better). Photos below were taken BEFORE the tailpipe was removed. The original muffler and oem tailpipe is also included in this sale, which is a rust free, in-new condition OEM muffler. New muffler was installed in such a way as to be reversible back to the original with minimal effort. Also (pictured) is a brand new Kenwood stereo/cd deck. It features full WMA MP3 playback, external port, and auxiliary subwoofer outputs (and they WORK). This deck is 2 weeks old, box and warranty included. Peripheral speakers (4) are also new. Truck includes bed liner in excellent condition, not sure if is factory installed, but it was on since new as I remember. Over the past month, we've gone through and replaced a lot of parts as preventive maintenance. There was only one part that may have been malfunctioning, which was the heater core or the heater hoses, so we replaced all of it. Original copper heater core is included in this sale as well. Below is a listing of new parts ALL WITHIN THIS MONTH: Dash pad (aftermarket addition to dash, very nice) Jegs 30235 chambered 40 series muffler Serpentine belt Tensioner pulley Idler pulley Thermostat Heater core Heater hoses (both) Radiator hoses (both) Spark plugs Spark plug wires Ignition coil Distributer cap Distributer rotor Alternator rebuild (professional) Air filter Vacuum lines Fuel filter Oil Differential lube oil ALL light bulbs, inside and out (turn/tail/stop/reverse/headlamps, and all interior bulbs too) The battery was replaced in late 2012. I'm sure there's more, and I'll amend this ad when/if I can think of it. Ok, here's the flaws of the truck, nothing big but we haven't gotten to them yet: -The headliner is in good condition (no tears) but needs to be taken down and re-adhered with interior adhesive. It is currently 'pinned' up until repair. -The a/c works, but needs re-charged. We found a leak at the recharge fitting, replaced it and pressure tested, but haven't bought the Freon, no priority in winter. -The cowl next to the windshield could need repainting. It looks ok, but they are known to fleck or peel easily and this one has done it. We've done a quick touch-up until warmer weather allows us to attend to it. -The passenger side front fender clearcoat is flecking. Easy fix but too cold and we don't have a shop. About a $10 fix. Paint is perfect though. This is all I can think of. This truck has a 'rebuild' title. In 1997 it was driven through a minor flood in Arkansas. We took the truck and immediately dried everything out. The insurance company "totaled" it but my Grandfather liked it so much he bought it back and had the GM dealership replace engine and transmission that are VIN specific and NUMBERS MATCHING for this truck, all electronic components were replaced as well. There is absolutely NO damage evident from this incident 16 years ago, inside or out., not a speck of rust, damage, or mildewing of ANY kind. The truck was fixed and driven by him until he died, whereas it went to Texas with his then widowed wife. After her death it came to me. Please feel free to use the vehicle history option here on ebay. This truck has had 5 legal owners, all within my family, and always maintained by me (since I'm apparently the family mechanic): My Grandfather>Insurance Co.>My Grandfather>My Grandmother>and Me. Buyer does not pay until satisfactory inspection of this truck. Bring whatever you need to check this truck. Compression tester, OBD I scanner, no problem, I have plenty of patience and do the same myself. Buyer will still get positive feedback even if the truck doesn't sell when inspected. However, winning bidder must come to see the vehicle, therefore only serious bidders! We llive in Mena, Arkansas, 65 miles south of Fort Smith. For ANY questions or additional photos please call me at 479-216-1988. I will also send videos upon request as well. There are no secrets to this vehicle, ask and I will answer. We are only getting rid of it because we need a nice family car, as our Durango is a gas hog. If you happen to have a nice one for trade, CALL ME.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new
Thu, Sep 29 2016To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.
GMC's electric Hummer could someday serve alongside the Humvee in the U.S. Army
Tue, Jul 21 2020Every civilian Hummer model traces its roots to AM General's Humvee, which made its combat debut when the United States invaded Panama in 1989. Fast forward to the 2020s, and the tables have turned. The born-again Hummer that will arrive with an electric powertrain and a GMC emblem could spawn a military-spec truck. "[The upcoming Hummer] is a full-size truck with 400 miles of range and 1,000 pound-feet of torque, it's a very highly capable vehicle. That could provide a great base platform for an electric vehicle to be used in the military context," said David Albritton, the president of General Motors Defense, in an interview with GM Authority. Although he didn't sketch out the Hummer's role in a battalion, its range, torque, and dimensions would theoretically make it well-suited to carrying soldiers, weapons, and/or gear like radio equipment. It wouldn't necessarily look like the production model (shown above in a preview image). General Motors Defense might use its basic platform and its powertrain technology to build a purpose-designed off-roader, like it did with the Colorado Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) it will soon begin manufacturing for the Army. The ISV shares 90% of its parts with the regular-production Chevrolet Colorado, but the two vehicles look nothing alike. Securing a contract with the American military is easier said than done, and Army officials haven't publicly expressed an interest in sending the upcoming Hummer into a war zone. We'll learn more about what a battle-ready electric truck could look like after the showroom-bound model makes its debut. In the meantime, Humvee production continues, and AM General introduced a comprehensively updated model named NXT 360 in 2018. Related Video: Â Â Green GMC Hummer Truck Electric Military
