I hate to see this truck go, but I just bought an '08 and don't have room for it in my shed. This truck was a locally purchased truck new and has been in the same family since then. Last year it was sold outside the family to a friend of the family and he took it to Colorado last summer to pick up a camper. It comes with a very nice camper fifth wheel hitch that bolts in the box. I bought it from him to get me by until I got my new truck. I fell in love with it and am not crazy about selling it, but I don't want to see it just sitting outside. This would make a great Harley hauler. It has the old school look. It even has a few Harley stickers on it now... They look good. All things aside, this truck turns heads. It isn't because of the shiny paint...(its not too shiny anymore) It's because it is a classic Chevy truck that doesn't have a small block gas engine. It has that awesome diesel sound, with nice dual exhaust, and the classic two tone paint job that so many Americans are familiar with. This truck is not a rust bucket...yes it does have rust, but nothing that can't be fixed. It would make a great restoration project. It comes with two complete rust free doors! The engine was upgraded from the 6.2 to a crate 6.5 about 60,000 miles ago! This was a major expense as you can imagine. I also have the paperwork for the newly rebuilt 700R4 overdrive auto tranny. The truck has a good radio, power windows that work like new, power locks, steering, brakes, etc. It also has a tilt column! Cruise all hooked up but I think has a vacuum leak. The air conditioning works great and blows cold! (good luck finding a truck like this for this price, that has working air!). I have lots of receipts for recent brakes etc. The box floor is perfect. It is galvenized and is NOT beat up at all. The front box panel is great, and the tailgate is like new other than paint. The frame is very strong. The truck rides down the road like a Cadillac....REALLY! I've owned many Caddy's and this truck rides and handles awesome! The engine and tranny obviously work flawlessly. I can't say enough about how reliable this thing is. I am selling it with two brand new studded snow Blizzek's! It also comes with 4 excellent Goodyears. I took a close up of the tread. You will be amazed with this truck as soon as you start it up with a flip of the switch and cruise down the road. Please call me if you have any questions. 319-231-8974, Thanks so much for listening to me ramble. Please call. This truck will NOT disappoint you. Justin

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error
Sun, Feb 8 2015After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1
Wed, Aug 20 2014Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
