NO RESERVE

This is a great truck.  It is 4x4, turbo diesel, dump truck with an 8ft power angle Meyer snow plow.  This truck is 12,000 lb GVWR, and has no trouble hauling anything I have ever thrown at it.

I boxed in the stakebed for hauling.  The top is hinged so that a front loader can load gravel straight in the top, and then it flips back to cover the top of the box.  The truck was primarily used for hauling wood and wood chips cut up by the chipper it towed behind it.

The Good:

Dump Bed is PTO driven (not electric)

Starts and runs well.

Turbo Boost Gauge Installed on A Pillar

Exhaust system upgraded from the turbo back with Diamond Eye Exhaust

This truck can be loaded down and tow to capacity without getting hot (see also the bad)

Has a combination 2" Ball / Pintle Hitch

4X4 Engages properly

Braided Stainless Oil Cooler Lines

Remote Mounted PMD (Below Bumper)

Fluid Damper harmonic balancer

Installed 2 new batteries this winter

Complete new brake lines front an back.  ABS Brakes function properly.

The plywood chip box can be unbolted from the stake body dump, and is painted inside and out with 3 coats of premium (Behr) outdoor paint.  This is a couple hundred dollars worth of hardware, paint and wood.

Tool storage on the side of the box for rakes, shovel, broom and pitchfork (none of these included)

This chip box is perfect for working in yards, has no trouble passing under power lines to residential housing, but is big enough to hold lots of material. 

Bed Size is 9 ft long x 7'6" wide with 4ft tall sides and a hinged top.

 

THE BAD:

Although the sheetmetal on the truck is good, just as it looks in the pictures, I did a fiberglass repair to the corner of the cab.  This is shown in one of the pictures.  The truck still looks good, and I was never embarrassed by it on a job site.  The fiberglass work is solid & passes inspection, but it isn't pretty.

The back right tail light is zip tied back in place.

The plow is a huge 8 ft wide unit, and tall.  It blocks a ton of air.  It has no trouble under 45 MPH.  Above that speed the starts to get hot with the plow on.  It doesn't matter if it is 32 degrees or minus 32 degrees, above 45 plus a hill the temp will start moving higher.  I don't know how high it will go, I have never let it boil over, but don't plan on cruising the freeway with the plow on this truck.  If that is important to you, you could try a "Plow Flow Master" to allow the truck to go faster with the plow on it, or get a different truck ( or maybe a smaller plow).   (see the good:  this truck will not overheat on the hottest day of summer fully loaded down... unless you put the plow on the front).

Heater fan only works in the first 4 positions.

There is a seat cover on the bench seat, part of the drivers side is ripped out of the seat.  It is not uncomfortable, but it is there.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car. Read more at Green Car Reports. EV drivers using the ChargePoint network have traveled over 196 million miles without gasoline. ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.
