I am selling my 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT pickup truck. I orignally bought it to move from New Jersey to Texas to California, but now have purchased a smaller car. This would be a perfect work truck. Sold as-is.

It is in very good mechanical condition and fair cosmetic condition. I drove it across the country with no issues at all! It has a clean title and recent smog (<60 days, so you don't have to get one). I have run a carfax on it, and can provide it if you don't want to run your own.

===TRUCK DETAILS===
-Clean Title
-Recent Smog Pass (<60 days)
-178k miles
-16mpg highway (when I drove TX-to-CA)
-VIN: 2GCEC19T6X1117449

===OVERALL SPECS===
-5.3L V8 Engine
-Automatic Transmission
-Air Conditioning (works perfectly)
-Hinged Third Door, Seats 5
-4-Wheel ABS

===Added Stuff===
-Leather Front Seats (came from a Chrysler Escalade)
-Radio (aftermarket that has mp3, aux, usb, bluetooth hookups)
-Sprayed heavy protective bed liner (good for hauling rough gear)
-Tow braket w/ light hookup (don't have a ball, though)
-Replaced hood that was re-painted to truck color

===Mechanics===
-Engine: good, stock, oil changed regularly
-Transmission: good, replaced by previous owner (Dec 2012)
-Brakes: good, pads replaced by previous owner (~Oct 2012)
-Battery: good, also I have a spare
-Cooling: good, no leaks
-Tires: good, have 10-20k miles left on them
-Lights: everything works fine
-Shocks: good, doesn't bounce
-CHECK ENGINE LIGHT: off (i.e. no problems)

===What is Wrong===
-The console bottom display goes in and out due to a loose connection in the console plug. You can push on the console to get it to light back up (since it squeezes to make a more tight connection). This does not affect anything beyond the bottom display on the console (gauges and alert lights still work fine), so you just can't see what gear you're in and the current milage (the milage is still accurate, though).
-The fuel tank sending unit is faulty, most of the time sending a low-fuel signal to the console. When you drive for a while (>50 miles), the sending unit will start to work again and give you a good fuel level reading on the gauge. I mostly go off the milage (>350 miles means I'm at about a quarter tank). It's an easy replacement, but you need to drop the fuel tank out to get at the sending unit. Up to you. This seems to be common (google "1999 silverado fuel gauge").
-There is some rust damage on the bottom of the driver side panel (see picture). This truck lived in the northeast for most of its life, so it was around salted roads for most winters. I've crawled under and looked at the frame and rust is minimal, and the frame is in very good shape (when I bought it, it was by far the best frame for its age). The fuel tank is plastic, so no rust on it. The exhaust system has normal rust for its age, but out in California it won't get worse unless you drive it a ton on the beach (or around salt water). Overall, this truck is in very good structural condition for it's age and previous location.
-There are some various small dents and scratches on the outside. This truck was used by the previous owner to haul mechanical equipment, so it was a work truck.
-Apparently there was side impact accident in 2006. It was several owners ago, so I don't know the details, but it was not totaled and appears to have been fully repaired.

GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers

Fri, Jan 1 2016

Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:

Recharge Wrap-up: U of M wins Solar Challenge, family attempts record-breaking e-bike ride

Thu, Aug 14 2014

The University of Michigan Solar Car Team has won the 2014 American Solar Challenge. It is the team's eighth national championship, its fifth in a row, and its first using Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The race took place over 1,722 miles and seven days traveling across eight states. The team's car, called "Quantum," outpaced the nearest competitor by four hours. Looking forward, Michigan Solar Car Project Manager Pavan Naik says, "The switch to Siemens tools will give us the ability to model and simulate everything and truly allow us to optimize the performance of our new vehicle. As we start on our quest to win the World Solar Challenge in 2015, we'll be leveraging a full complement of PLM solutions." Read more in the press release below. The EcoCar3 competition, in which teams will convert Chevrolet Camaros into hybrid electric cars, begins in September. The various college teams will have four years to lessen the car's environmental impact as much as possible while maintaining performance and, of course, that cool Camaro design. EcoCar3, which is put on by the US Department of Energy and General Motors, kicks off with a workshop in Novi, Michigan from September 16 - 18. Read more at the DOE website at the dedicated EcoCar3 site or watch the announcement video at our previous post. Zap and Jonway Auto are shifting to a high rate of EV production. Zap already has two lines creating the Urbee EV to met demand, and is switching over a third to make electric minivans and SUVs. The company aims to produce 30,000 EVs by 2015 for the Chinese market. Zap says it has a backlog of 25,000 Urbee orders. Read more in the press release below. A family of four hopes to make a world record-breaking, 6,000-mile electric bike journey this fall. The family, which recently drove from Argentina to Montana in a pickup with a camper, will ride from Montana to Maine, then down the East Coast to Florida in an attempt to break the record for longest electric bicycle ride. They'll use two bikes. The Father, Thomas, will ride one of the bikes carrying one of the children, while the rest of the family rides in a support vehicle, with the mother, Dylan, riding the second bike when they can find others to drive. They have started a crowdfunding campaign for some of the equipment needed to document the trip. See the video below or read more at Treehugger.

Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model 3 and other EVs: How they compare on paper

Thu, Mar 1 2018

The 200-mile club of electric vehicles is really growing. The most recent member is the Jaguar I-Pace, the company's first pure EV. It promises luxury, performance, style, and most important, good range. Nearly as recent is the Hyundai Kona EV, and while it doesn't promise luxury or performance like the Jaguar (it's also smaller), it does pack impressive range. With the introduction of both of these electric cars, we thought we would see how they compare against each other, and the other two big names in high-capacity electric cars: the Chevy Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3. This isn't intended to be a direct, apples-to-apples comparison, as the four are quite different. If anything, they break into two groups: bigger and more luxurious, and smaller and less expensive. Then again, the number of vehicles with this electric range is small and comparisons to EV's with less range wouldn't be too kind to the other guys. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools. Horsepower and torque There is one clear winner here, and that's the Jaguar I-Pace. It packs a whopping 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. That comes through a pair of electric motors (one at the front, another at the rear) that provide the Jag with all-wheel drive, the only one of these vehicles to offer it (at the moment). Altogether, it allows the I-Pace to have the best 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. At the other end of the spectrum is the Hyundai Kona EV. It's front-drive, like the Bolt EV, and has effectively the same amount of horsepower as the Chevy at 201 horsepower, but its 0-60-mph time is almost a second slower. And the low-range version of the Kona, excluded because it doesn't go more than 200 miles between charges, is slower still. The Tesla Model 3 is the only vehicle with rear-wheel drive, and with a 0-60 mph of 5.1 seconds for the Long Range model, it is still very quick. Range and energy use Frequently, the all-consuming question with electric cars is, "How far can I go on a charge?" And to go the farthest, you need the long-range Tesla Model 3. It can go 310 miles. It has the added advantage of being able to use the network of Tesla Supercharger stations, though they are pay-per-use with the Model 3. Even the lower capacity Model 3, with just 220 miles of range, can use these stations.
