 Up for bids is a very nice 1986 Chevrolet pickup, 2 wheel drive, long bed with the Silverado package which is loaded with options. It has a 305 engine and automatic trans. The truck runs, shifts, and drives great for a 86 model. I think all options work as they should but not sure about the cruise control, will check it again.  This truck has the optional and sought after two tone paint job with the rally wheels which have all the trim rings and center caps on them. Tires are good, think maybe one is showing a little dry rot. The body on this truck is very nice and solid. The only rust on this truck was on the cab corners about the size of a quarter, both were repaired nicely. The wheel wells, the bed, front fenders etc are all rust free. Its a very solid truck. The paint is pretty nice and shiny, would give it probably a 6 or 7 out of ten. It has been touched up a little sometime over the years but is still pretty nice. The interior is good with a new GM style seat cover on it, not the cheap aftermarket kind but a real cover that is hog ringed  on like the factory does, it looks great. The dash has one of the hard shell covers on it, not the cheap cloth ones, and it looks good. the door panels are faded a little but not torn up. Carpet is good, a shampoo job would make it better but its nice as is. The tilt column is nice and tight. I did notice the horn button has a small crack in it as lots of them do.  The complete interior looks very nice.The power windows work as do the power locks. It has a AM FM tape deck, radio works, not sure about the tape deck though. AC has some pressure in the lines but the compressor isn't kicking on so im guessing it needs a little charge. It has the dual gas tanks and they both seem to work fine and the gauge works as supposed to. The battery gauge doesn't move, may just be a bad conection.The front bumper is new but the rear has been damaged a little and straightened, really needs replaced. It looks ok but needs to be replaced to make it look as good as the rest of the truck. Guys this is a very nice 1986 truck but remember this is an 86 model so please don't expect perfection. Its a sharp, clean truck that has all the right options you want in a pickup. It was being built by a friend of mine but he had some finiancial problems so had to give it up before he got it finshed. The engine may have been rebuilt or changed, not sure which, as its been painted up real nice. Email me with any questions you may have before bidding. the buy it now on this truck is more than fair so don't miss out over a few dollars. The truck seems to run out good guys, Ive only put about 10 miles or so on it because of not being licensed but see no problems. The truck is being sold as is.This style of truck is worth more and more all the time as its one that the collectors all look for.  I require a $500 deposit at auctions end. I will give you plenty of time to pick it up or have it shipped as long as its paid for in full within 3 days. Checkout my positive feedback guys, you don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. Rest assure your dealing with an honest ebayer.  I reserve the right to end the auction early should the truck sell locally. If you have less then 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. PLEASE only bid if you want the truck and will complete the transactions should you be the winning bidder. Thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid on this very nice 86 Chevy truck. It has a clean and clear VA title.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

'Killing a Duramax' Gale Banks YouTube series methodically tunes a diesel to death

Thu, Feb 27 2020

Learning or perfecting a skill by watching YouTube videos is known as attending YouTube University. GM Authority picked up on one of the video site's more fascinating courses, hosted by Gale Banks; in a fair world, he should be referred to as Professor Banks when it comes to diesel engines and truck tuning. A few months after GM introduced the updated L5P 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 in the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD that ships with 454 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque, Banks decided he wanted to methodically tune the engine to death. The purpose of the resulting series, called "Killing a Duramax," is to push more power out of the engine in order to discover which parts break and when — or, as Banks puts it, force-feed the Duramax "until the crank hits the street and the heads hit the hood." With that knowledge, Banks can figure out all the weak points on his way to building what he calls a "Superturbo," that being a supercharged, twin-turbo race engine with more than 1,000 hp. What makes the series fascinating is Banks' knowledge, paired with the company's comprehensive iDash engine monitoring system that keeps tabs on a glut of parameters every step of the way. So for instance, you get Banks explaining the differences between inches of mercury and barometric pressure, how those are different from the water content of the air measured in grains, then showing those readouts on the iDash, then explaining in detail how they affect the air density in the Duramax system. The stock Borg-Warner variable turbo gets a lot of airtime — Banks accuses it of being "out to lunch" because he feels it's the weakest link on the engine. That turns into a turbo teardown and a deep explanation of performance pitfalls, such as when air pressure on the turbine begins to diverge from the boost pressure coming from the compressor. Banks says he can keep close tabs on where power's coming from, because the iDash monitors the horsepower contribution provided by the ambient air, the turbo, and the intercooler separately. The major changes so far are a stouter Precision 7675 turbo and TurboSmart wastegate (episode 5), a twin intake (episode 6), a custom liquid-cooled intercooler from a marine engine, a new GM oil cooler and synthetic oil (episode 10), and new injectors (episode 11).

Chevrolet only automaker to win EPA's 2015 Climate Leadership Awards

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Chevrolet was the only automaker to be on the list of entities for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Leadership Awards. Of course, the accolades had nothing to do with any vehicle's tailpipe emissions, General Motors can still be proud. The automaker is engaging in what it calls the Chevrolet Clean Energy Campus Campaign. Chevy is working with the US Green Building Council, among other groups, to find ways for buildings in primary and secondary schools as well as college campuses to reduce their collective carbon footprint via better design. The EPA pointed out the "carbon performance methodologies" used by Chevrolet to run the program and spur lower emissions from its campus partners. The effort is part of Chevrolet's broader goal to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by as many as 8 million metric tons of CO2. And it's going to take more than bunch of plug-in Volt and Spark EVs to do that. Other entities feted by the EPA include UPS, Bank of America, the cities of San Francisco and Oakland, Clorox and Tiffany & Co. Yes, Tiffany. Take a look at the EPA's press release below, and find out more information on Chevy's program here. UPS, Bank of America, SC Johnson Among 16 Organizations across the U.S. Recognized for Climate Action / EPA also recognizes Chevrolet Clean Energy Campus Campaign, San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative in new Innovative Partnerships Category WASHINGTON – From an innovative partnership enabling colleges to sell carbon credits to fund clean energy projects on campuses to some of the country's leading corporations setting and exceeding aggressive emission reduction goals, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Leadership Award winners announced today are demonstrating that innovative actions to combat climate change are smart business decisions. Sixteen organizations and one individual representing a wide array of industries from finance and manufacturing to retail and technology show exemplary corporate, organizational, and individual leadership in response to climate change. "I am proud to recognize our Climate Leadership Award winners for their actions to reduce the harmful carbon pollution that's fueling climate change," said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. "Our winners are demonstrating that a healthy environment and a strong economy go hand in hand.
