Chevrolet Silverado LT (K1500) 4WD NO RESERVE!!! Features:
The Particulars: The above is a brief description of our 1997 Chevrolet Silverado LT (K1500) extended cab truck. It is a "local truck" to our home town in Chester County PA. We have used it as a farm truck, as did the first owner, who bought it new. It is a great runner, very strong, and has pulled our 2 horse gooseneck trailer with ease around here and to North Carolina and back. I'd give it a "fair condition" rating (see below for more details). In that condition, the Kelley Blue Book value is right around $4,000.00. I never list with reserves, so if you snag this truck for the minimum bid of $1,499.00, you will have gotten one heck of a good deal. Cosmetics are not essential to farm trucks! This one has spent most of its life with its tailgate down, which is a good thing, because the tailgate is in rough condition. I backed the lowered tailgate into our horse trailer a couple years ago, and I suspect my predecessor did so once or twice as well. It has been straightened enough that it is functional. The rear step bumper is starting to rust through, but that is the only area of rust through on the truck (see below aboout the cab corners). The rest of the body is in good shape, no major dents, scrapes, etc., but certainly scratches and dings which are normal for a vehicle of this age & mileage. The interior is dirty, as you can see in the pictures, but it could be cleaned up fairly easily and should look presentable. There are no tears in the upholstry, and other than a crack in the dash, the interior should be in physically good shape (again, just needs to be cleaned). The good news: Many Chevy / GMC trucks this age are rusted through at the cab corners. The cab corners on this truck were replaced two years ago, and the paint was matched very well. There are a couple of other minor mechanical "quirks" - a slight leak in a power steering line, an issue with a door switch which makes the interior lights stay on (I pulled the fuse a couple years ago), leaky AC compressor which needs charging annually, etc. The airbag light is "on" (which means the airbags need to be "inspected"), and the "check engine" light comes on intermittently. I had the code read on the check engine light a couple weeks ago and it was related to an O2 sensor. These trucks are known for this sort of thing - we put few enough miles on it that it does not require an annual emissions inspection in Pennsylvania, so I have always just let that light go... Also, (as noted above), I replaced all four tires and the spare last fall and they have (maybe) a couple hundred miles on them. Additional recent repairs: Complete fuel pump assembly two years ago, new spark plugs, coil wire, plug wires, distributor cap & rotor, ignition module and drive belt earlier this month (plus an oil change). We knew we were selling the truck and wanted to feel confident that it was in good running order for its new owner. As you can see from the above, I have gone out of my way to point out the "flaws" here. If you have any questions, please call me at 610 806 3954. Also, you are encouraged to come see / test drive the truck. I am not a mechanic, and nothing you see above should be construed as a mechanic's opinion. If you would like to have your mechanic look at the truck, I would encourage that as well. There are NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED on this vehicle. the vehicle is being sold with a clear title, as is, where is. Again, you are encouraged to come have a look, or have your mechanic do so, please call me at 610 806 3954 10% of the proceeds from this listing will go to the American Cancer Society... Thanks for looking and again, please don't hesitate to call me with any questions, etc. at 610 806 3954.

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode
Fri, Apr 17 2015MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.

GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement
Sun, May 31 2015General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.

GM is not aware of any humidity-related ruptures in Takata air bag inflators in any GM-badged vehicles in the field and knows of no crashes, injuries, fatalities or complaints regarding air bag performance in these vehicles. Including Canada and exports, the total number of vehicles being recalled is 374,715.

Just the right Camaro can change your life
Thu, Jan 22 2015Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.
