95 diesel dually. I havn't had this truck for long, but it is not for me. I need something smaller. Unlike the person I bought it from, I am going to list every possible thing that I have found wrong with the truck.
There is an oil leak. It is small but annoying. At worst it could be the rear seal which could be a $500 repair. This is probably not the case but I am letting you know the worst case.
It has an exhaust leak. This apparently can be fixed with an cheap gaskit repair.
The a/c works but there is a leak. I had it filled a week or so ago and it worked, but now it doesn't. I now know there is a leak in a small part behind the compressor. Again this is a cheap fix.
The paint is faded in areas.
To open the drivers door requires more effort than it should. Cheap parts or a adjustment are needed.
The passenger buttons for the window and to lock the door have sunken into the door. As above a cheap repair should fix it.
The headlining is a little damaged but it has not dropped at all.
The casing for the handle to drop the tailgate is missing. Again cheap parts.
The brakes are a little spongy, probably needing adjustment. The front tires are worn indicating the truck needs a wheel alignment.
On the good side:
The diesel motor feels strong.
It only has 204k miles which is low for a diesel
The body is really straight
No signs of rust
Gearbox feels good
Besides the things I mentioned above, the interior is in good condition.
It has an updated cd player
Power steering works well
Power windows work well
I just put a new front windscreen on it
I just exchanged the starter motor.
I was told when I got it a month ago that there were other new parts like the batteries.
Overall this is a good truck, just not for me. It could ber a very strong work truck. It gets great economy. I recently took it to Fallon and got around 20mpg. The truck has new rear tires. It has a good motor, gearbox and body. Thats what you really want to see in a heavy truck like this.
This truck is for a guy who knows what he is doing. The repairs will cost very little if you can do them yourself. I had a guy who was going to fix everything on the truck and told me it wouldn't go over a grand but I don't want the truck any more. I am moving and have no parking for it.
Please read:
This truck is for sale in Las Vegas. I have done my very best to tell you everything that is wrong with it. I want a $500 deposit paid from paypay within 24hrs of the auctions end. If you decide to mess me around and tell me you cant transport it or you have changed your mind, I will keep the deposit. That sounds bad but you would not believe the people out there who bid on things they don't really want. If you come from out of state, that is your problem, not mine. If you buy the truck I expect the deposit followed by the sale being finalized within a week. If you can't do this, don't bid.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two
Sun, Jun 19 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
