I TRADED FOR THIS TRUCK RECENTLY BUT AM NOW MOVING AND WON'T HAVE THE SPACE FOR A 3RD VEHICLE - SO MUST SELL BEFORE MOVING.
FIRSTLY IT SOUNDS GREAT. IT'S BEEN RECENTLY PAINTED BLUE / GREY WITH SUMMIT RACING GREY HUSTLER 431 5-SPOKE WHEELS AND NEWER YOKOHAMA TIRES. THE PREVIOUS OWNER PAINTED THE TRUCK, MATCHED THE GREY TO THE WHEELS, PAINTED THE BUMPERS BLACK, PUT THE WHEELS ON, INSTALLED NEW SUMMIT RACING HEADERS / EXHAUST, INSTALLED A NEW SOUNDSTREAM CD / DVD / MP3 STEREO (I HAVE FOUR 6X9 ROCKFORD FOSGATE SPEAKERS THAT WINNING BIDDER CAN HAVE - CD WORKS WITH EXISTING SPEAKERS THOUGH) - FINISHED THE BACK OF THE TRUCK WITH SOME KIND OF RHINO LINING AND REMOVED THE TAILGATE. IT WAS GOING TO BE USED AS A MOTORCYCLE PICK UP TRUCK (I HAVE A 8FT ATV / MOTORCYCLE RAMP FOR THE TRUCK WHICH I WILL BE WILLING TO WORK OUT SOMETHING WITH THE BUYER IF THEY WANT IT). IT HAS A BULLY TAILGATE NET (INCLUDED - BUT NOT IN PHOTOS).
THE PREVIOUS OWNER PUT A NEW RADIATOR IN (WITH COOLER), NEW WATER PUMP, NEW BILLET GRILLE ON THE FRONT, NEW IGNITION BARREL (APPARENTLY KEY GOT STUCK IN THE BARREL AND COULDN'T BE REMOVED), INSTALLED LARGE CHROME DUAL EXHAUST TIPS THAT COME OUT THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK JUST FORWARD OF THE REAR WHEELS, THERE'S A NEWER BLUE BENCH SEAT, NEWER BLUE HEADLINER. POWER WINDOWS / LOCKS WORK - GAUGES LOOK LIKE THEY WORK BUT HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED FULLY (THERE'S A GAUGE UNDER THE DASH WHICH ISN'T WIRED AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT'S FOR). THIS HAS DUAL GAS TANKS - BUT PREVIOUS OWNER ONLY USED RIGHT SIDE TANK.
400 TURBO TRANSMISSION JUST INSTALLED, AND I WILL GIVE BUYER THE OLD 400 TRANSMISSION (THIS WAS RECENTLY REBUILT - LOOKS CLEAN - BUT HAD AN ISSUE GOING INTO 2ND GEAR - HENCE THE OTHER TRANSMISSION BEING INSTALLED). TRUCK IS BY NO MEANS PERFECT, IT IS NO WHERE NEAR A SHOW TRUCK - IT WAS JUST BUILT TO LOOK GOOD AND BE NOTICED GOING DOWN THE ROAD (WHICH IT DOES - I STOPPED TO PUT GAS IN IT AND EVERYONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT OR COMMENT HOW COOL IT IS)...THE BODY HAS A NUMBER OF SMALL DENTS, THE PAINT IS NOT PERFECT (LOOKS GOOD FROM A DISTANCE), CRUISE CONTROL / WIPERS NOT WORKING (DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE NOT HOOKED UP OR DON'T WORK). NO AC - BUT CAN BE EASILY ADDED TO THESE OLDER TRUCKS. FAN SEEMS TO BLOW UNDER THE DASH (HAS COOLED TRUCK IN SUMMER). I WAS TOLD THE STARTER WIRING IS CLOSE TO THE HEADERS BY THE MECHANIC THAT PUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND SHOULD BE MOVED AT SOME POINT (NOT SURE HOW SIMPLE THAT IS). CURRENTLY AT MY HOME WITH A FLAT BATTERY FROM SITTING (I WAS TOLD BATTERY WAS NEW). WHEN PICKING UP BRING JUMPER CABLES! DOES RUN THOUGH - AS WITH MOST OF THESE 350 CHEVROLETS THEY ARE CHEAP TO WORK ON AND LAST FOR A LONG TIME. MILEAGE OF APPROX. 88,000 IS BELIEVED TO BE TRUE - BUT NO WAY OF KNOWING. IF I WAS GOING TO KEEP IT I WOULD SWAP OUT THE CARPET AND MAKE SURE THE WIPERS WORKED.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE TRUCK AND AS MENTIONED IT WAS A TRADE AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE TO THE TRUCK OR CHECK ANYTHING...ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT SEEMS TO RUN WELL (KICKS YOU BACK IN YOUR SEAT WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UP). OBVIOUSLY SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY IMPLIED. BUYER TO PAY WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSE WITH $500 DEPOSIT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION END. HAPPY TO HELP WITH SHIPPING - BUT AT BUYERS EXPENSE. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN CENTRAL FLORIDA JUST NORTH OF ORLANDO.
2 KEYS COME WITH TRUCK - CLEAR TITLE. PHOTOS SHOW CONDITION - BUT DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING - PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
