I bought this truck last year with the intention of turning it into a restomod with new running gear and updates, but the guy that builds my custom vehicles talked me out of using this Blazer because it is in such good condition, and very original. It would have been a shame to cut it up. In addition to being a factory A/C Blazer, it also has a rare working factory tachometer in the center of the gauge cluster. We purchased a different Blazer for my project that is almost complete, and I now need to make room in the garage. The previous owner had rebuilt the brakes, installed new 33" Toyo MT tires, partially installed a Painless Wiring Harness, had headers and new exhaust installed, and repainted the body. There was no rust as this was an Arizona vehicle, and I have photos to document the integrity and straightness of the body before paint. The underside of the tub was painted with POR15 to keep the body rust free. A larger gas tank is installed that looks like a Hickey product to me. Im not sure of the capacity. Since I cant help myself, even though I knew I wouldn't be keeping this Blazer, we went ahead and took care of anything that would affect the reliability of the truck, as well as cleaning up the cosmetics. The wiring was completed, and we addressed the sloppiness in the steering. The motor fires up right away everytime, and everything works great. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this truck anywhere. When I purchased this truck we filled the bed with extra parts, both original and aftermarket that will come with this Blazer. This Blazer is in great condition for a driver, but it nowhere near a show truck. I will try to list every deficiency that I can in order to present this vehicle in the truest light possible. - The paint is pretty and shiny, but it is what can be referred to as a 10 foot paint job. It looks great from 10 feet away, but any closer and you can see the deformities that are present including small rock chips, small scratches, and crazing where holes were filled in. Perfect paint for a driver quality vehicle because it looks nice, but your eyes don't tear up if you get a scratch on it. -The grille surround could use a polishing, and there is small dent in the lower corner. -The front bumper is pushed up slightly on the passenger side. -The A/C compressor and related parts were sold by the previous owner. -New fuel filler doors were installed in the body before paint, but the filler neck has not been attached to the new door. -The fuel gauge works but it is rotated slightly to the right, so the reading is not accurate. -The only leak is the transfer case. I have the gasket kit, but I never got around to installing it. -The blazer comes with a double wall hard top in decent condition. The hatch needs to be repaired where one hinge attaches, and the coating put on by the previous owner should be stripped and repainted. All hardware is there and it would be an easy fix. That is all I can come up with that needs attention, this really is a solid truck. If I find anything else I will add to the listing. A $500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal is required within 48 hours of winning the auction. The balance can be paid by PayPal or cashier’s check, and must be received within 7 days of winning the auction. The seller will cooperate with the buyer or buyer’s agent or transport agent to make pickup and delivery of this Blazer as simple as possible, however, any costs associated with pickup and delivery are the responsibility of the buyer. Thanks and happy bidding! |

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?
Chevy Volt replacement battery cost varies wildly, up to $34,000
Fri, Jan 10 2014There's a growing hubbub in the plug-in vehicle community over what looks like some ridiculously cheap replacement batteries for the Chevrolet Volt going up for sale. GM Parts Online, for example, is selling a replacement Volt battery with an MSRP of $2,994.64 but, with an online discount, the price comes down to $2,305.88. For the 16-kWh pack in the 2012 Volt, that comes to a very low $144.11 per kilowatt hour (kWH). But is it a real deal? How can it be, when a Chevy dealer may quote you a price of up to $34,000 to replace the pack? For a 16-kWh Volt pack, $2,305.88 comes to a very low $144.11 per kWh. But is it a real deal? Battery packs in alternative propulsion vehicles are usually priced by the kWh and, historically, they've been thought to be in the range of $500-per-kWh for OEM offerings. Since automakers are understandably secretive about their costs, we still don't know what the real number is today, but we do know it varies by automaker. Tesla, for example, has said it pays less than $200-per-kWH at the cell level but, of course, a constructed pack would be more. Whatever is going on, li-ion battery prices are trending downward. So, $144.11 certainly sounds great, but what's the story here? Kevin Kelly, manager of electrification technology communications for General Motors, reminded AutoblogGreen that GM Parts Online is not the official GM parts website and that, "the costs indicated on the site are not what we would charge our dealers or owners for a replacement battery. There would be no cost to the Volt owner if their battery needs replacement or repair while the battery is under the eight year/100,000 mile limited warranty coverage provided by Chevrolet." A single price tag also can't be accurate for everyone, Kelly said. "If the customer needs to have their battery repaired beyond the warranty, the cost to them would vary depending on what needs to be replaced or repaired (i.e. number of modules, which specific internal components need replacement, etc.)." he said. "So, it's hard for us to tell you exactly what the cost would be to the customer because it varies depending on what might need to be repaired/replaced. As a result, the core charge would vary." But, is the $2,300 price even accurate for anyone? Thanks to a reader comment, we see that this similar item on New GM Parts makes it look like the lithium-ion modules that Kelly mentioned – where a lot of the expensive bits are – are not included.
