 1989 Chevy S10 with Throttle Body EFI SBC 350, 700R4 trans and locking 10 bolt rear.  Truck was built with good parts to provide a stout chassis to be a reliable, drive anywhere vehicle.  The front suspension has Ride Tech tubular upper and lower control arms.  Firestone 2500lb air bags.  All of the tie rods and steering parts are new  Moog brand parts.  Front sway bar is ZQ8 S-10.  Front brakes are 98-03 Blazer new dual piston calipers with drilled and slotted rotors, braided stainless brake hoses, mounted onto Bell Tech 2102 drop spindles with Moog unit bearings.  Rear has new parking brake cables, new brake shoes, hardware and drums.  The suspension in the rear has Ride Tech air bar set up.  The rear frame has not been c-notched yet and has one area of rust repair where the notch will go.  The Air supply system has two Viair 480 compressors and an 8 gallon tank where the spare tire belongs and analog controls from the glove box.  The Truck stops incredible with better brakes and the HydroBooster from a Chevy Astro van.  The steering shaft is a from a Jeep Cherokee and is substantially better with improved feel and response than the GM rag joint shaft. 

The engine has a Edelbrock 4bbl crab intake and a TBI adapter plate and was intended to be switched to carburetor it uses Hedman headers and is a otherwise stock later model SBC 350.  Cooling is through a stock 4.3 radiator with dual Flex-a-lite fans.  There's also a new Optima yellow top battery.  The transmission is a 700R4 with a shift kit.  It is mounted into the frame with a G Force transmission cross member that allows for the true dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Everything under the truck is tucked above the frame rails.   The wheels are old school Eagle Alloy minitruckin' wheels 17x8 with 40 series tires.  Inside is very stock and some of it needs to be redone (dash has two cracks and needs new carpet) it has a new Grant steering wheel and a freshly upholstered Leather/Swede stock bench seat, and headliner. The body has good paint and is BMW Laguna Seca Blue.  It is not a ISCA show paint job, but its far, far better than a quick Maaco job.  The only custom work to the body is the shaved front bumper bolts, fuel door, and antenna.

I've owned the truck for about 4 years and have driven it as far as 300 miles one way to travel to car shows.  It averages about 22 mpg on the highway at 70 mph.  There is one thing the new owner must do, mount a permanent fuel tank.  The stock fuel tank is nested in the bed for right now but it is not a good safe place for it.  The inside of the bed and the firewall/inner fenders are not paint color matched.  The vehicle is currently in winter storage so the pictures are not 100% up to date.  Not shown in the pictures are the door panels, and some other details.  I also have Corvette C5 calipers and some other parts that can go with it if the price is high enough.   Please email me with any and all questions.

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.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
