Cape Neddick, Maine, United States

 Here is a factory 1971 Cheyenne Super not a made up conglomeration of parts. This truck was brought from Arkansas and has never seen snow that I know of. This truck has been outfitted with a brand new factory style Hounds Tooth seat cover and ACC Loop carpet. Carpet underlayment consists of the supplied Jute and the whole floor was covered in a Reflix-it style material. New stainless steel sill plates to finish it off. The door panels have been changed over to the 1972 style. This is an original A/C truck but the A/C is not working. New weather stripping around the Doors and Felts around the Door Windows. I replaced the Windshield Gasket too with the correct style. Everything but the Radio and the A/C work. The radio may I just never tried it. It is the OEM Am radio

The suspension on this truck has been upgraded to KYB Shocks on all four corners. The Body Mounts have all been changed to Poly-Urethane along with the Front and Rear Sway Bar mounts. The Front sway Bar has been changed to a 1.5 and the Rear Bar is a 23 mm from an IROC Z. The front and rear have been dropped using CPP springs 4.0 in the Rear and 3.0 in the Front. The Rear also has a CPP adjustable dropped Panhard Rod. I also installed a Power Trax locker in the rear of this truck, it still has the original 3.08 Rear Gears.

Wheels are a Coys 5 spoke design 15x8 in the front dressed with 255 50 15 and the rear 15x10 dressed with 275 60 15. The tires are the same widths 10.5 but run a different diameter 28 in the rear and 26 in the front. Brakes all re built in the rear from the backing plate out to the drum. This truck is extremely tight with no rattles and goes down the road nice and solid. The suspension is set-up very nice. It rides smooth like you would expect it too not choppy and corners with ease. The cornering is very predictable and easily managed.

Exhaust starts off with Hooker Super Comp long tube headers, dumps into a Pypes Stainless Steel dual exhaust system that exits in the factory locations behind the rear tires.

Most of these updates have been in the last year or driving season for us in Maine.

The engine is a rebuilt 454 its been bored .04 and has an aftermarket Crank kit. Its a  very streetable engine. Rods resized and rings are filed to fit.CL 77 bearings with a Melling M77HV oil pump to complete the bottom end. Keith black..04 over 9.0:1 pistons. Aluminum heads Roller Rockers, Comp Cams adjustable guide plates, Comp Cam's cam custom ground for this truck, Performer RPM intake, and Edelbrock 850 cfm Thunder Series carburetor. Transmission is a rebuilt th350 shift kit with a converter 2100rpm

Paint was done about 15 years ago and still looks good. This is a very dependable truck that I drive to and from work occasionally. about an hour or so each way. It does have a big 4 core radiator and has no overheating issue or bad manners sitting in traffic. I built this truck to drive.

Yes this is a HOT ROD and you will not be disappointed with it. it does behave very nice and I let my 24 year old daughter drive it is that nice to drive and is manageable.

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]

Mon, Oct 19 2015

UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.
