1990 Chevrolet Blazer Silverado Sport Utility 2-door 5.7l K5 K10 Jimmy on 2040-cars
Yuma, Arizona, United States

1990 Chevrolet Silverado K5 Blazer 1990 Blazer K5 V8 5.7 TBI Engine, with 700r4 Transmission. The truck has 52k miles and drives like it. The truck is solid with no Rust. The truck was bough from some local winter visitors a little over 2 years ago. The truck was like most cars that have been in Arizona for a while the paint was completely faded and I started off with a fresh paint job. The truck was originally the charcoal gray, I decided to add silver to make it stand out. I decided to go with a two tone and I get a lot of compliments from it. The paint job was done approximately December 2012 and still looks like it was done yesterday! The undercarriage was coated in chassis paint to make look new again. There is an endless amount of accessory items that have been replaced as most of what was installed in the truck was either dry rotted or just completely faded or I just wanted to make it look new again. The interior was in good shape but decided to get a new carpet, and redo the seats and headliner/visors to make it look new again as the old carpet and seats were faded and had some stains. I have done my very best to get my mechanic to correct any oil leaks it had. As of right now I haven't noticed any oil leaks. The pictures should speak for themselves. I would have no problem driving this truck anywhere, it has low miles and has brand new tires that still have nubs on them. The jack and handle and windshield wipers are not in the pictures but I do have them and will install them before the truck sells. We get about 1/2 inch of rain per year so the chances of needing the wipers in Yuma are slim to none so when the truck was painted I didn't put them back on. The truck has stock cruise control, A/C and it all works! Even the stereo is original, it has never been cut and wiring is still as original and stock as it can be. I have had my fun with it driving it (drove very little) and restoring it.. I actually rarely even drive it therefore I'm deciding to free up some space in the garage and add some money back into the savings account by selling some of my toys that I don't play much with. Here is a list of some new parts within the last year: Windshield Rear Glass Door Weather Strip Door Glass Weather Strip Camper shell Weather Strip Door Panel Aluminum Inserts Door Carpet Kit Carpet Kit Seat Upholstery Dome Lens Silverado Shell Emblems Side Moldings Wheel Arch Moldings Rear Quarter Panels (Interior Upholstery) BF Goodrich 32x11.50x15 Tires x 4 Fuel Pump Rally Center Caps Sill Plates Spark Plugs Spark Plug Wires Distributor Cap/Rotor Oil Change on 5/20- approximately 100 miles since last oil change Air Filter Gasoline Filter Windshield Wipers A/C 134 Conversion Serpentine Belt Battery Differential Oil Change Valve Cover Gaskets Valve Stem Seals The not so good: Driver Door window goes up and down like it should but the Passenger Door Window and Rear window are slow to go up and down but DO go up and down, I have not replaced those window motors (this was in my list to do next but never bothered me enough to change them). The truck only has speakers in the dash. When i had the rear quarter panels done I didn't install speakers as I wanted to do a custom stereo system. The interior quarter panels are a blank canvas to add the speakers and stereo system of your choice. Also, it is barely noticeable in the pictures but the rear bumper does have some minor dents in it, I never considered replacing because it is barely noticeable. The dash pad does have a couple hair line cracks as most trucks this age do. PLEASE NOTE: There is a mileage discrepancy in the CarFax due to the DMV assuming it had 152k miles instead of the 52k miles it actually has. The speedometer goes up to 6 digits. I have an appointment with the DMV this week to fix this issue, they have to do an inspection and I have to provide the documentation that shows the actual mileage. The Carfax clearly shows that the truck only has 52k+ miles as well as the history that was given to me when i purchased it. I have worked on the truck for the last 2 years but have driven it very very little. Maybe about 300-400 miles total. (I didn't drive it much to not add miles to it). I drove it locally to a car meets and such but most of the time I transported the truck on a flatbed to keep the miles low. I am not a mechanic, please come and inspect the truck, ask for more pictures or simply send me an email with whatever questions you might have. Please email me any questions you might have and I will try to respond promptly. Please note that the deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE. Please ONLY bid if you intend to buy. Thanks again and happy bidding! |

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says
Sun, Jun 25 2023Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent. In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Nissan sells 3,117 Leaf EVs in May, climbs over 3,000 for first time ever
Tue, Jun 3 2014Chalk up a big win for the Nissan Leaf. In May, the world's most popular electric vehicle sold a record 3,117 units, the first time any pure electric vehicle has sold over 3,000 units in a month in the US (unless Tesla managed that feat but rolled the number into a quarterly report). This marks the 15th month in a row of record Leaf sales and the seventh where the Leaf was the top EV seller in the US. The challenge bar is set for someone to step up to compete with this all-electric wunderkind. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, in August 2013. The Leaf's one long-standing competitor, of a sort, is the Chevy Volt, which used to regularly outsell the Leaf but moved only 1,684 units in May. That's still an increase of 4.8 percent over 2013 but is part of a 4.5 percent decline in year-to-date Volt sales for 2014 compared to last year. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was October 2013. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, when it moved 3,351 in August 2013. Let's take another look at those 3,117 Leafs sold last month. They represent a 45.8 percent increase over May 2013, when 2,138 Leaf EVs were sold, so someone is doing something right in Japan and Tennessee. So far, Leaf sales in the US are up 36.4 percent year-to-date, to 10,389 EVs. That's just under half of the 2013 total, and it was accomplished in five months. In 2013, Nissan sold a total of 22,610 Leafs. Anyone want to hazard a guess where the total will be at the end of the year? As always, we'll have our detailed monthly sales write-up including other plug-in vehicles as well as hybrids and diesel car, up soon. For now, though, the big news is big Leaf sales. Read Nissan's press release below. Nissan Group reports May 2014 U.S. sales May 2014 May 2013 % Change Nissan Group Total sales (units) 135,934 114,457 +18.8 Nissan Division May sales 125,558 106,558 +17.8 Infiniti May sales* 10,376 7,899 +31.4 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan Group today announced total U.S. sales for May 2014 of 135,934 units, an increase of 18.8 percent over the prior year and a May record. Nissan highlights: Nissan Division set a May record at 125,558 sales in the month, an increase of 17.8 percent. This marks a monthly record for Nissan division in 14 of the last 15 months. May was the best-ever month for Nissan LEAF with 3,117 sales, an increase of 45.8 percent over the prior year. In May, LEAF passed 50,000 total U.S. sales since launch, further establishing it as the leader among electric vehicles.
