Friends,
This is the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. Unfortunately, it's not so practical for toting around kids in car seats, so it's time for me to send it on to its next happy owner. I bought the Chalet camper shell on it's original factory chassis about four years ago. That chassis was tired, so about 2 years ago I bought the current chassis, a former Air Force CUCV. The CUCV had been upgraded with power leather seats, a CD stereo, new carpet, headliner and dash pad by its previous owner. I swapped the camper on and have been using it as my daily driver ever since. As an ASE master tech, I like to keep my stuff nice. In the time that I've owned the chassis, the following work has been performed:

New master cylinder
New front brake pads
New rear shocks
New steering stabilizer
Four new balljoints
New steering knuckle greaseable universal joints, seals, wheel bearings repacked
New rear driveshaft greaseable universal joints
New power steering return line
New engine oil cooler lines
New radiator
New thermostat
New mufflers and tailpipes
New dual group 31 batteries
New alternator
New Belts
New Optima deep cycle camper battery
New glow plugs
New glow plug relay
Transmission overhauled by professional trans rebuilder
New flexplate
New Trailer hitch and pigtail
New Potable water pump in the camper

Probably more that I'm not able to think of. Receipts available upon request.

Additionally, I've added a small inverter to run the installed television and a large inverter to run the APU air conditioning and electric heat (10,000 BTU A/C, 14,000 BTU Heat). The heat and A/C can also run off of shoreline power when it is available, so there is no need to run the engine to air condition the camper. This inverter acts as a charger for the starting batteries when plugged into the shoreline. The Chalet has a built in charger for the deep cycle battery.

Because I live in the frozen tundra, I've also added battery heaters, an engine oil heater and an engine coolant heater. The truck also comes with a custom fabricated cold weather grill cover and a warm weather bug screen.

The truck includes a Margaritaville tailgating grill, which was gutless from the factory, so I've upgraded it with a variable pressure propane regulator that can make it roar like a jet engine when you really need to cook.

Because this chassis is near mint I've also applied POR 15 to the bottom of the truck to prevent rusting.

In short, I really hate to see this one go, but it's not practical for me any more. As always, my walk away guarantee applies - if you win the auction and the vehicle is not exactly as I've described it, you walk away - no questions asked. Please feel free to call me with any questions.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.
