Up for bids, I have 1998 Chevy Astro van (AWD)....I have had this for 2 years and never had any problems with this vehicle...Since I have gotten the van, I have replaced quite a few things on this van, which are normal wear/tear items, like the fuel pump,fuel filter,A/C compressor,wiper motor,oil cooler lines,rear brakes,pass. side window motor,broken window switches,etc. Just in the past few months, I have had the front rotors shaved and the front brakes replaced....The A/C blows cold and heat works....The front windows roll down just fine and the cruise control works just as well...The window rain guards were on the vehicle when I purchased it, but I have bought the bug shield,euro tail lights,new chrome rims,and even bought/installed the trailer hitch....Also you will notice on the bottom part of the front bumper (from the pics) that I also installed a few led lights to give the van a stylish look at night while driving....The led lights are activated by a On/Off switch and the switch will illuminate when you have the parking lights on....I was not a big fan of the DRL setup on the astro van, so all I did was remove the fuse from the fusebox under the dash...I will have a new fuse put in for the winning bidder....Both front windows have been tinted to match the privacy glass on the rest of the van...The van has a donut spare underneath but I'm sure by now, it is part of the vehicle...haha, so when I bought new wheels for the van, I kept one of the factory chrome plated rims to use as a full size spare and the tire that is on it is brand new and matches the tires that are on it now....Also have the 2 full size bucket seats in the basement, which I will have put back in for the winning bidder...These seats will seat 3 each.....The inspection runs out at the end of July/2014.....The only reason I am getting rid of the van is because I picked up more hours at my job and requires more driving, hence I need to downsize and look for something that will get better gas mileage and you guys know about these fuel prices...Bleh!!!

Here is the flaws of the vehicle.....The paint on the hood has cracking in it...The tires do have some tread on them but will need replaced down the road...The rear bumper cover has a couple zip ties to keep it on...The wheels will clean up somewhat pretty good, but will have some left over rust spots and pitting....The windshield has a divet hole crack, but will pass inspection...The van has the dutch doors in the back, and the flap on the pass. side is rusting out, which i have a piece of duct tape over it to prevent total corrosion....At idle, the van seems a little chuggish, but once you get moving, it rides fine....There was a po304 code that has popped up a couple times, but just haven't had the time to check it out...But overall the van drives real well and it totally driveable !!

(From Previous Owner)
There was some previous damage to the pass. side,near the rear, which I was never told about until, I went and picked up the vehicle and some touchups were done on the roof on the drivers side....

A deposit of $300 is due at end of auction...If you would like to pick up the van in person, then you could pay in full at time of pickup and would have to have title transferred in your name, which I have a Clean Title in hand....If you have it shipped, then the $300 would be due at end of auction, then the remaining would have to be paid in full before the shipper comes to get the vehicle....If you have any questions,feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my knowledge...Thank you for looking !!!  :)

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
