This van is truly one of a kind. We purchased the 2500 extended wheel base shell with tow package from Chevy and then had several customs things done to it. Quigley 4x4 in Pennsylvania converted it to an on-demand four wheel drive system, with 2 wheel, 4 wheel high and 4 wheel low settings. DMC conversion van in Milwaukee did the rest. You can clearly see that it has a custom paint job and the paint is still in excellent condition. Inside, it has seating for 9 people – 3 rows of captain’s chairs (driver’s row and 2 passenger’s rows) and a back bench. The bench folds down into a bed. Also, the two passenger rows and the bench are all removable and with them out, there is a lot of storage room. It has a DVD player and has wiring for two screens. Note that I do not have any screens in it now as the two that came with it were stolen before we got the security system and then the two replacement screens were stolen when we forgot to arm the security system. We do have two 14 inch detachable screens that I will give you if you want them. We just put them up before we leave and then take them out when we get to where we are going. The screens can run independently from one another if desired. There is a front CD/stereo (stock) and a rear CD/stereo that run out of different speakers and there are also headphone jacks for the DVD system and rear radio. It has front and rear AC and heat. There are inside running lights and shades on all of the windows in the passenger area (except for the windows on the rear doors, which I took off because they broke and didn't really like them there anyway). I have done/had a lot of work done to it in the past 9 months – I replaced all four shocks and the inside and outside tie rods and then had the front end aligned. There are four new Firestone Transforce HT LT225-75R16 tires and we have gotten up to 60,000 miles on tires on the van. The AC has recently been fixed and is working as good as new. All four rotors and brake pads were replaced a month ago. This van runs great – if you watch the YouTube video on it you can hear it start right up. This has been the most dependable vehicle I have owned in 30 years of driving. I have been extremely anal about changing the oil and I don’t think it has ever gone over 4000 miles before changing the oil and filter. It burns about 3/4 of a quart from one oil change to the next, but there is no blue smoke or anything like that from the exhaust. When we recently drive it to Texas and back, it ran smooth as glass at 75 mph and up. We really hate to sell it but our family of 8 has shrunken to 6 and so we just don’t need this big of a vehicle anymore. Although I think this van is in pretty good shape considering it is 10 years old and has over 173,000 miles on it, it is obviously a 10 year old van that has hauled around at least 6 kids for the majority of its life. I think it is important that everyone knows what the specific “evidences of use” are and want to describe it better here than I could in the other section. The driver’s seat has some cracking in the material….these seats are supposed to be leather but the way the driver’s seat has cracked, I wonder…. (photo included). The top layer of the steering wheel is peeling off, like so many of them do (photo included). The leather on the front passenger captain’s chair arm is worn through (about dime sized or a little smaller) and you can see the frame underneath (photo included). The tension string on the shade on the big window immediately behind the driver is broken and so to get it to stay up we have been using two little Velcro straps. Although I haven’t specifically checked, I am sure that some of the inside running lights are burned out. Also, two of the bolts that hold the left rear taillight got torqued off when I was replacing a light bulb in Texas a few weeks ago. The taillight housing still seems to be fairly solid in there, though (there is another nut and bolt holding it on and it is “form fitting” into the space. I am pretty sure it will be fine without the two lost bolts and I have not had plans to replace them up to this point). GM had a real problem with those double-Dutch side doors (the ones that the passengers use to get into the vehicle). Our model was before they started to put these on both sides of the van, by the way. The doors worked fine for about four years and then the hinges on the left double Dutch door started to get stiff. The hinges then wore out and wouldn't open at all and we have had them replaced but the hinges for the left door still don’t really work. The one double-Dutch door on the right opens just fine and so people can get in and out without a problem. The door on the left does open but it is very hard to open and close – very stiff. No amount of penetrating oil or white lithium grease has ever made it work better. As I said, they both do open but the one on the left doesn't open as far as it should and so if you are thinking of using this van as a hauling vehicle, be aware that you may have limited width to get material into the side. We have gotten along just fine using the one door only. The rear doors work fine. There are a couple small bubbles of rust on the left side low down where the side skirts meet the van (photos included). The van has never been in an accident, but I have driven, at very slow speed, the right front bumper into a small parking pole that I thought I was clear of (photo included) and also backed into something and dented the rear bumper a little (photo included). Also, I am pretty sure there is a leak in the windshield washer fluid reservoir because it seems to run out way faster than I think it should, though I have never seen any evidence that fluid is leaking from it. I have a video of it starting here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtqwUZ_-p7k I have a walk around video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPNVkinDQgA If you have any specific questions or would like other photos, please email me.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.
