Strong 1988 Chevy Suburban Two Tone Lift-kit 4x4 on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
This is one of the last legends Detroit made. 1988 solid steel with a customized 6" lift kit. This is a great hunting truck or perfect for off-roading. It runs like a charme and sounds strong.
I had the transmission rebuilt in January 2013, rebuilt the engine in June 2013 and put 4 brand new BF Goodrich AF All terraiin 33X12.5 R16.5LT in December 2012. It also has a new heater core. The tires have 1,200 miles on them, The transmisison about 1,000 miles and the engine 850 miles on it. Those expenses total up to $5,000 alone. Here is what I know is wrong with the truck: Clearcoat is peeling off in some panels Dents driver door, rear quarter panel Fuel gauge is not working. this is due to the engine rebult. Apparently the mechanic forgot to hook up some line/cable. Gearshift indicator is broken. Small tear in driver seat cloth Cracked windshield It has additional headlights, a gauge for a second fuel tank The engine, transmission (including 4x4) work great. New battery and it cranks right up. New waterpump, alternator and belts. It does need a bit of love, but most of that is simply cosmetic. I actually like the manly look.. (The truck actually came like that when I bought it in 2004). so I never bothered with the cosmetic aspect of it. It is an Arizona/Texas truck so no rust, salt damage. It has lots of torque and a tow bar installed. The lift kit is 6" and it has Dee-Zee stepbars. The radio is less than a year old and has AV input and CD player. It also has the desirable 3rd row seats If you are looking for solid truck that won't break for towing your boat, ATV, etc, go hunting in it or just to use to get some mud on the tires, this is your truck. There are not many of these beasts available for sale. I am the second owner as far as I know and I had for 10 years as our third vehicle to make runs to Home Depot in it, the occasional hunting trip, but never put more than 4,000 miles on it in a year. The original mileage to the best of my knowledge is 165,000, but the rebuild engine has less than 1,000 miles on it. I used it for a while in my business to make deliveries, but then we outgrew it and bought an International Truck. I kept it for a while in our warehouse, but now the wife is making me sell it. I love that truck, but love the wife more. I'd be happy to answer any questions or send pics of something specific if you like to see that. It is a beautiful truck that has lots of power, hate to see it go. |

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado
Sat, Oct 9 2021During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
This map reveals the cleanest vehicles based on location
Thu, Apr 28 2016Naysayers 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.
