I am listing my plum crazy truck for sale. Color is actually called Hawaiian orchid and it is factory original color for this truck. I am starting this listing off about 1/2 the cost to build or the about the cost of the paint, wheels, tires and interior. Project was finished just over 2 and a half years ago and I have put a good 20k miles on this truck since its completion. the 300hp Vortec 5.3L engine is all stock and yields 18-19mpg in my average day to day driving. Best I have seen so far on the highway is 23mpg and pulls off 21-22 on hwy driving very consistently and that's with the truck running a moderately aggressive 3.73 gear ratio with auburn limited slip unit in the 10 bolt factory rear. The 4L60E was completely rebuilt with every possible upgrade I could find as I was going to build a much stronger motor to go with it but things change and looking to do a completely different project now. AC, Cruise control, gauges ALL work just like the engine would have come in this truck. While the bed, doors and hood were removed for painting, I do not consider the paint to be a show quality level paint. Its smooth and not bad by any means but just not what I consider show quality. The main flaw with the paint is the fiberglass lid in one of the groves that I pictured in the last picture. No dings or chips otherwise in the paint but paint is 2 years old now so not quite as fresh. Pictures were taken very recent for this listing so they aren't 2 year old pictures or anything. I try to be very honest about my listings. Seat is from a newer Chevy truck and recovered in the spirit of the paint and door panels were redone to match and the panel where the switches are were painted to match the body when the truck was painted. You can see on the drivers door where the stupid seat belt wants to get hung in the door has mess up the paint a bit. I have been meaning to have some touch up paint made for the door but as you see that hasn't happened. Also lined the cab with .050 dynamat sound deadener while the carpet was being replaced as well. I mildly lowered the truck 2" coils in the front and 4" shackle hanger drop in the rear with belltech shock relocators in the rear to maintain a factory ride quality with just a set of replacement Monroe shocks. I also had the bed coated with spray in liner and I put a rubber mat on top of that coating on the floor just to keep it nice and allow me to still use the truck as a truck since I didn't build it as a show truck but rather a nice cool daily driver truck. The wheels are 18" Boss 338's 8" in front and 10" in rear with 255/50R18 up front and 295/45R18 in back.
If you like this body style truck and love the new LS engines power and fuel economy, then you will like this truck. I spent a lot of time tuning the computer to get the gas mileage numbers it makes and a lot of time getting everything fully functional so its not just an average drop it in and hope everything works build. A lot of time and effort has gone into this truck so that it runs every bit as well as it looks. While the truck shows 235k on the odometer that is about the only thing original left in the truck. If your located a long way from here, fly in and drive it home. It will easily make the trip.

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
Chevrolet considering midsize crossover to slot between Traverse and Equinox
Mon, Jan 9 2017Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:
