This 1990 Chevrolet Cheyenne 3500 4x4 diesel 1-ton dually military ambulance truck is a unique and rare vehicle, with an incredibly low 454 actual miles. This is not a typo. Not 4540, not 45,400, not 454,000, but four hundred and fifty-four, period. It is to all intents and purposes a brand-new truck.

It was purchased from a Government auction. It had been in storage for several years at the Marine Corps Base in Camp Pendleton near San Diego. It had never seen active duty and was only driven for short distances around the base, hence the amazingly low miles.

It came with a government sticker showing the original purchase price of $37,409.

It’s powered by a 6.2 liter diesel engine and an automatic transmission, and factory-equipped with four wheel drive. Because it’s a diesel, it never needs to be smogged.

The truck is in perfect mechanical condition and it runs beautifully, just as you would expect for a vehicle that is practically new. I would not hesitate to drive it from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic Circle and back again.

It was gone over thoroughly to make sure there were no mechanical issues from the years of storage. It received six new Nexen Roadian AT II tires, a full tune-up, new battery, new fuel pump, and all fluids were changed. Also, the old R-12 air conditioning was converted to R-134a, and it blows ice-cold.

The original military green paint still has a nice shine. However, the clearcoat is peeling on the hood and top of the left fender, and some of the paint on the rear door hinges is chipped. Also, all of the doors have military insignia which were spray-painted over before they auctioned it.

The body is almost perfect, with a few small dings, but no dents, rust, or bondo. There are a few traces of very minor surface rust on the underside, no doubt because of Camp Pendleton’s proximity to the ocean. Also, the front roof vent cover is rusted through.

The interior is like new. The only defect is a couple of incisions in the rubber floormat, where something was apparently installed and then removed.

The rear ambulance section is constructed of lightweight, sturdy aluminum, including the interior panels. The two top gurneys can easily be detached and slide right out.

All of the original equipment is intact and operational, except for the front-mounted spotlight. The red beacon on top revolves and can be seen for miles, a great safety feature. The bank of overhead switches controls these functions: floodlight, AC/heat blower, patient lights, beacon, suction, exhaust vent, and intake vent. Even the suction machine works, and I’m sure someone can find a good use for it!

This truck would make an awesome custom expedition vehicle, toy hauler, and/or RV. But if you’re a military vehicle collector, you’ll never find one as pristine and original as this.

It has a clean title and current registration through February 2014. If you have any questions or you’d like to see it, please call Brian at 818-961-6760. The truck is located in West Hills, less than an hour away from either LAX or Burbank airports.

GM sees 'strong year' in 2018, then gold in Chevy Silverado for 2019

Tue, Jan 16 2018

DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it expects earnings in 2018 to be largely flat compared with 2017, but that profits should pick up pace in 2019 as its revamped line of high-margin pickup trucks hits the U.S. market. The 2018 earnings outlook was above market expectations, sending GM shares up more than 3 percent in premarket trading. "GM had a very good 2017 as we continued to transform our company to be more focused, resilient and profitable," GM Chief Executive Mary Barra said in a statement. "We are positioned for another strong year in 2018 and an even better one in 2019." GM and its Detroit rivals, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, are bringing on new trucks at a time when overall U.S. new vehicle sales have been falling, but truck sales continue to grow as consumers abandon passenger cars in favor of pickups, SUVs and crossovers. GM on Saturday fired a new round in the battle for profits from one of the U.S. auto industry's most lucrative segments when it showed a new generation of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at the Detroit auto show. The new Silverado, a highlight of the event, is the successor to GM's best-selling vehicle in North America. Sales of the current Silverado rose nearly 2 percent to 585,000 vehicles in 2017. In the coming months, the company will also reveal a revamped GMC Sierra pickup truck. U.S. new vehicle sales fell 2 percent in 2017 after hitting a record high in 2016, and are expected to drop further in 2018 as interest rates rise and more late-model used cars return to dealer lots to compete with new ones. GM said on Tuesday that while it retools a factory in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to make the new pickup trucks, it will shift some production to an Oshawa, Ontario, plant in order to avoid missing sales in a hot market for the vehicles. The No. 1 U.S. automaker said it will record a $7 billion non-cash charge for its fourth-quarter 2017 earnings related to deferred tax assets. GM said it expects capital expenditure in 2018 of around $8.5 billion, about $1 billion of which will go toward funding self-driving car technology. Last week, the company said it is seeking U.S. government approval for a fully autonomous car — one without a steering wheel, brake pedal or accelerator pedal — to enter the automaker's first commercial ride-sharing fleet in 2019. GM said it expects 2017 earnings per share at the high end of its previously forecast range of $6 to $6.50.

GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.

In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email.
