2004 - Chevrolet Avalanche on 2040-cars
Morattico, Virginia, United States
2004 Chevy Avalanche Z71 1500 4x4. It has just about every option except Navigation. I'm the second owner of this vehicle. Below are some of the features: Only 75k miles. Mostly highway for family vacation travel. Seats 5+ adults comfortably. Rear a/c, heat and radio jacks. Dual climate control. Full powered and heated leather seats. Satellite radio/OnStar Roof rack. Roof rack attachment not included in auction but may include in the sale depending on the selling price. Bull Bar. Off road lights are on the bar but are not hooked up. Lighted running boards. Puddle lights on the automatic folding mirrors. Excellent condition inside and out. Paint is 9.5/10 (maybe a small scratch here and there but that's it. Small ding on rear bumper) Interior is 9.0/10 (minimal wear on driver's seat. All other seats are flawless) Satellite Radio paid up through 5/15 I believe and I also just added Iphone/ipod integration. Z71 Off road package. Powerful V8 Vortec Engine. 20" OEM wheels with Good Year tires. 2Tires have only been on for about a year. Needs: nothing mechanically. I have receipts for work performed during my ownership. It does only come with 1 key and remote (needs a battery). It has two car alarms set, but the new owner will need to decide on which one to reactivate. Also is due for an oil change. I was going to get it done, but I'll leave that for the new owner in case they have an oil preference. I've always used synthetic. I'd also get the tires rotated. I do that along with the oil changes. You won't find another as clean. I love this truck but I'm downsizing my stable. A lot of truck for the money! Recent maintenance: New front shocks (last week) I also added a brand new battery, recently installed front brake pads and both front wheel bearings. Truck needs nothing so bid with confidence.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
