92 Chevy K1500 4x4 Extended Cab Long Bed on 2040-cars
Licking, Missouri, United States
O.K. Here's the story on this one. I was needing a vehicle and didn't have a lot of money so I worked a trade for this truck. I traded a Savage model 110 25-06 with 500 rnds of ammo, and a CZ83 .380 acp with 200 rnds of ammo for it. I didn't know the vehicle had a salvage title until I took possession. The person I got it from assured me that it was dependable and never failed to start and drive. I took the vehicle home and realized that the truck had no heat. I ordered a radiator for the truck, but before it came in, the cv joints went bad. I had the complete half shafts replaced. Two days later, the starter messed up and I bought a rebuilt starter for it. The radiator came in and I replaced the radiator. As I was taking the old radiator out, I noticed that there was a lot of red clay deposits in the cooling system so I flushed the engine out and replaced the thermostat. When I got the new radiator in, the transmission decided to start failing. I replaced the transmission filter and gasket and put 10 quarts of fluid to get the level back to normal. This didn't help and the transmission shifts slowly thru the forward gears and doesn't work in reverse. This happened immediately after changing the radiator so I don't know if that had something to do with it. I am tired of having to climb under this vehicle every other day in this cold weather so I am extending this project on to you. Total cost so far:
2 guns and ammo: $1700.00 Tires, pitman arm, idler arm, and sway bar kit: $1154.05 Starter: $50.00 Tailgate: $50.00 Radiator: $70.00 Half shafts (2): $294.79 Total Investment: $3319.00 |

Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show
Tue, Jan 13 2015At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.
'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
