Professionally heavy duty built, 1980 Chevy, short wheel base, 4x4 with 1982 3/4 ton drive train.  Has a Jegs or Jasper factory built 350, not sure of HP, or cam size, but sounds and runs like a beast.  A year or so ago it had all new motor, aluminum intake, Holly carb, headers, dual exhaust, rebuilt auto tranny with shift kit installed.  Has nearly new Goodyear 37x12.5x16.5 military OZ mud tires, with spare.  At local 4 wheel drive shop had 6" lift kit with dual shocks and dual stabilizer shocks installed.  Also install a steering box, frame brace from National Tire and Wheel welded in before any big tires and wheels were put on.  The welder said it was the best, cleanest frame he had ever seen from this year of truck.  Had a new front drive shaft made with new yoke and splines.  New universal joints, brakes and shocks all around.  Installed 3/4 ton rear end and front end from an 82 GMC, with 373 gears.  Runs and drives straight as an arrow, no shakes, shimmies or road walking. Starts right up, no carb issues at all.  Works perfect  Don't ever have to touch it.  Truck has no leaks or drips or mystery spots left on drive way.  All gauges work great.  All lights, signals, wipers, heater work fine.  The body is really solid.  Cab mounts are good, new inner fenders.  Only had 2 small rust spots about 2x2 inches at bottom of both doors that needed patched.  Bed is completely solid, has no rust thru anywhere, but tailgate latch handle is missing.  Body is tight and was sanded and primed and painted with gray Ford tractor paint.  Looks great from about 20 feet away (haha).  Was more into the mechanical side than the paint side when built.  The body is really straight and would be easily painted at an auto body shop.  I didn't install lockers, because I didn't to rape in the mud or woods.  I use it to drive to work every day, and to haul firewood or whatever, and not have to worry about getting stuck in ruts or snow.  I love driving it.  It sounds great and shifts great.  The seat is good, but the old dash pad is cracked.  The floor had one small hole in it I patched.  The interior is old, but all there.  Could be replaced with after market stuff cheap, and look like a new truck inside again.  It's a really solid, manly truck.  Not a poser 1/2 ton with big tires.  It will go about anywhere off-road, or get in it and drive cross country on the interstates.  It never overheats or uses oil.  The motor came from a friend of mine at work who originally bought the truck from his neighbor's wife.  Her husband had ordered the new motor and had it put in, but he passed away 13,000 miles later. I'd say it now has about 18,000 miles on it.  This truck will last you for years to come.  It is a really dependable truck.  I hate to sell it, but I'm facing surgery and will be off work for a good while, and going to need extra money to pay the bills.

Cadillac Celestiq, Lyriq, Hummer, other future GM electric cars: Here's everything we saw at ‘EV Day’

Wed, Mar 4 2020

WARREN, Mich. — Today, General Motors held an “EV Day” event at its Warren, Michigan, campus to present its new “Ultium” battery technology, modular electric vehicle architecture and soon-to-come electric vehicles. Unfortunately, we were forbidden from bringing cameras into the event, so while we canÂ’t show you what we saw, we can tell you more about it. While we saw the previously teased Cadillac EV (which we now know to be called the Lyriq) and the GMC Hummer pickup teased during the Super Bowl, there were a number of other future cars at the event, which GM President Mark Reuss assured us are all real vehicles in the works. The biggest surprise came at the end of the event, though, in the Cadillac Celestiq electric sedan, which Reuss described as a future flagship that would be hand-built “very locally.” It had been hiding under a dark sheet all morning, with the front and rear illuminated Cadillac emblems shining from underneath. When the wraps came off, we saw a long, white, four-seat fastback sedan. The 23-inch wheels were pushed out to the very corners of the car, giving it what appeared to be a very long wheelbase. The model on the stage had no side mirrors or visible door handles. The grille mirrored that of the Lyriq crossover next to it, with integrated lighting in lieu of the usual mesh or slats youÂ’d see in an internal combustion car. The entire roof, all the way until it tapered to the tail of the vehicle, was tinted glass. In back, vertical tail lighting ran down the C-pillar before turning rearward across the top of the trunk. Inside, everything below the beltline of the windows — essentially all but the headrests and top portion of the steering wheel, was hidden from view. Behind the Celestiq, a large digital display showed a rendering of its interior. The dash consists of a pillar-to-pillar curved LED display serving as both instrument panel and infotainment system. Protruding forward between the front seats was another touchscreen that appeared to house some more controls, with open area, probably for storage, below it. The rear seats had the same sort of touchscreen between them. Built into the back of the front seats were a pair of rear-seat entertainment screens, much like we saw in the Lyriq. The door panels blended wood, metal and animated lighting to give character and a sense of opulence. GM interior design manager Tristan Murphy was on hand to tell us a bit more about the Celestiq.

This map reveals the cleanest vehicles based on location

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Naysayers love to point out how dirty the electricity grid mix is when it comes to charging electric vehicles. Curmudgeons are eager to jump into any conversation about EVs to enlighten the lucky listeners about how plug-in cars contribute to pollution, sometimes even throwing in a dash of climate-change denial for good measure. (Thanks, buddy. Pray, tell me more about the plight of oppressed SUV owners.) Unless someone buys an EV just because they think they're cool (which, yeah, they often are), they probably have at least a passable understanding of their environmental pros and cons. As many EV owners are already aware, location has a lot to do with any particular plug-in car's carbon footprint. Still, there's always more to know, and knowledge is not a bad thing, especially if one uses it to do the right thing. That's why this handy-dandy map from Carnegie Mellon University is so interesting. CMU researchers have compiled information about the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of various EVs based on where they're charged, as compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The researchers looked at the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and Prius Plug-In Hybrid versus the gasoline-dependent Toyota Prius hybrid and the stop-start-equipped Mazda3 with i-ELOOP and compared grams of CO2 emitted per mile. CMU takes into account the grid mix, ambient temperature, and driving patterns. CMU takes into account the grid mix based on county, as well as ambient temperature and driving patterns in terms of miles traveled on the highway or in the city. For instance, if you drive a Nissan Leaf in urban areas of California, Texas, or Florida, your carbon footprint is lower than it would be if you were driving a standard Toyota Prius. However, if you charge your Leaf in the Midwest or the South, for the most part, you've got a larger carbon footprint than the Prius. If you live in the rural Midwest, you'd probably even be better off driving a Mazda3. Throughout the country, the Chevrolet Volt has a larger carbon footprint than the Toyota Prius, but a smaller one than the Mazda3 in a lot of urban counties in the US. The Prius and Prius Plug-In are relatively equal across the US. Having trouble keeping it straight? That's not surprising. The comparisons between plug-in and gasoline vehicles are much more nuanced than the loudest voices usually let on.
