1984 Chevy Silverado Truck K10 4x4 105000 Miles on 2040-cars
Kent, Washington, United States
So I bought this truck just a short time ago with the intention of fixing it up. I priced everything that it needed and even went out to get quotes on a few things like tires and paint. I was ready to get started, but then I was offered another truck that I want more, a 1976 Dodge Warlock (the black and gold 4x4 one). I don't have the time and space to do both, and the dodge will need a lot of extra work as its in horrible condition (family truck lots of sentimental value). This truck is a good one, and very clean. It really doesn't need a lot to be restored, I priced it out at about $2500 and that was with someone else doing the majority of the work. If you wanted to do it yourself it would be a lot less. If I were to describe this truck in a single word it would be "Suprising!" The truck's paint is horrible there is no doubt about that however if you look carefully through the photos, you will see that the body is very straight. The only dent I have found is on the middle of the truck bed rail on the passenger side. Most of the rust is light surface and you will find that the bottom of the body panels are solids which is remarkable for these trucks. There are two spots of concern and they are located on the driver side cab above the door and under the rear slider window. I have included photos of these. The truck runs great and has no issues starting up cold or hot. The previous owner put on a new altenator and carburetor, and also performed a fresh tune up. The truck changes gears smoothly and the 4 wheel drive operates great. The interior of the truck is very clean although it will need a new headliner and carpet, both of which are easy cheap fixes. The parking brake appears to work, when held down it will hold the truck in place while in gear and the dash brake light will light up. The issue with it is it does not "latch" when used. The fuel tank gauge work, however it doesn't go above 1/2 tank and is floaty while driving. I would guess that there is a hole in the float and fuel inside, preventing it from functioning as designed. The fuel tank selector switch works however currently the passenger side fuel tank is disconnected as it has a rust hole in it. The old fuel tank skid protectors held dirt against them. They are currently not on the truck but I have them. The power windows and door locks work, minus the driver door look. I think a new actuator would solve this problem. Last and not least the radio currently doesn't save any stations when the vehicle is turned off. This is because the constant power on feed to the radio is disconnected. It either needs to have that connection redone or have it connected, another easy fix. |

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
