I bought this truck new in April 2005. I have used it as a work truck in the heating and cooling field. Never overloaded but well used. There are a few things that will need to be addressed. The truck has dings, dents and scratches. I will try and show them when I take the pictures. The good things about the truck include the fact that I have been the only driver and have kept up the required maintenance to this point. I have not been so careful when it comes to the appearance. The truck runs and drives great. The four wheel drive works fine. As with most four wheel drive trucks, the front tires tend to be a little jerky when the steering wheel is turned sharply and in four wheel drive mode. I have replaced both batteries recently with good batteries from Wal Mart. They have the Wal Mart warranty. I have Big-O tires on the truck. They are worn down some but still have wear left on them. They have the Big-O warranty and include free rotation and balancing. Some of the negative things about this truck is that very recently the speedometer has been acting up. Sometimes working, sometimes not. The odometer continuously works fine. The driver side seat heater also works when it wants to but often chooses not to. I have had the brakes inspected periodically and think they are still in good shape with the exception of one of the front wheels applying more pressure than the other side. I was advised by a mechanic that it was probably a brake line not allowing the fluid to travel forward and backward properly for the anti locking brakes. I replaced both front brake lines and one rear. It still acts up. I don't know but it could be a caliper that needs to be replaced. That will have to be addressed by the new owner. So in bidding keep this fact in mind. I am trying to list everything that I can think of and be as honest as I can. I want no problems or issues after the sale. If you have specific questions, please ask and I will do my best to answer them. The driver seat entry side on the side is cracked. I do not believe this part of the seats are leather. It was the luxury model when I bought it new. Had just about everything available. It does not have the XM radio. It does have the phone and roadside service. I forget what it is called. It is not presently connected. It can be at the new owners discretion. The carpet has not been kept clean but has floor mats in place. The carpet will not be in the best of condition. The drivers side mirror is broken but useable. Also, the windshield is cracked. I have always used Amsoil oil and filters for oil changes. The fuel filters have mainly been purchased at the GM dealership and have been replaced as recommended by the manufacturer. The oil is high quality and is used for long intervals between changes. The truck has never failed to start even when one of the batteries was getting weak. I can't think of any other negative issues. As I have stated, the truck, to my knowledge, has no issues other than what I have listed. If I think of anything else I will add them later. So, in a few words, the truck runs and drives good, just doesn't look the greatest. Keep in mind when bidding that this is a 2005 model and may need some work done. None other than stated, to my knowledge. It will need to have the brakes checked, the speedometer and the seat heater, if you want, new tires in the future. So keep these potential expenses in mind when bidding. Allow for some possible other expenditures once you have the vehicle. Thank you for looking. The truck is sold as. No guarantees. No refunds. A $500.00 non refundable deposit is required at the end of the auction with the remainder due in cash when the vehicle is picked up. I do have a clear title. You are welcome to contact me and come see the vehicle in person. As you can see in the pictures, the truck is in need of a good cleaning. It'll probably cost you a couple hundred dollars for this, so keep it in mind when bidding.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint

Sun, Feb 6 2022

Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems

Fri, Sep 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
