1989 Chevrolet S10 Air Ride V8 350 700r4 Brake & Chassis Upgrades Protouring on 2040-cars
Abingdon, Maryland, United States
|
1989 Chevy S10 with Throttle Body EFI SBC 350, 700R4 trans and locking 10 bolt rear. Truck was built with good parts to provide a stout chassis to be a reliable, drive anywhere vehicle. The front suspension has Ride Tech tubular upper and lower control arms. Firestone 2500lb air bags. All of the tie rods and steering parts are new Moog brand parts. Front sway bar is ZQ8 S-10. Front brakes are 98-03 Blazer new dual piston calipers with drilled and slotted rotors, braided stainless brake hoses, mounted onto Bell Tech 2102 drop spindles with Moog unit bearings. Rear has new parking brake cables, new brake shoes, hardware and drums. The suspension in the rear has Ride Tech air bar set up. The rear frame has not been c-notched yet and has one area of rust repair where the notch will go. The Air supply system has two Viair 480 compressors and an 8 gallon tank where the spare tire belongs and analog controls from the glove box. The Truck stops incredible with better brakes and the HydroBooster from a Chevy Astro van. The steering shaft is a from a Jeep Cherokee and is substantially better with improved feel and response than the GM rag joint shaft. The engine has a Edelbrock 4bbl crab intake and a TBI adapter plate and was intended to be switched to carburetor it uses Hedman headers and is a otherwise stock later model SBC 350. Cooling is through a stock 4.3 radiator with dual Flex-a-lite fans. There's also a new Optima yellow top battery. The transmission is a 700R4 with a shift kit. It is mounted into the frame with a G Force transmission cross member that allows for the true dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Everything under the truck is tucked above the frame rails. The wheels are old school Eagle Alloy minitruckin' wheels 17x8 with 40 series tires. Inside is very stock and some of it needs to be redone (dash has two cracks and needs new carpet) it has a new Grant steering wheel and a freshly upholstered Leather/Swede stock bench seat, and headliner. The body has good paint and is BMW Laguna Seca Blue. It is not a ISCA show paint job, but its far, far better than a quick Maaco job. The only custom work to the body is the shaved front bumper bolts, fuel door, and antenna. I've owned the truck for about 4 years and have driven it as far as 300 miles one way to travel to car shows. It averages about 22 mpg on the highway at 70 mph. There is one thing the new owner must do, mount a permanent fuel tank. The stock fuel tank is nested in the bed for right now but it is not a good safe place for it. The inside of the bed and the firewall/inner fenders are not paint color matched. The vehicle is currently in winter storage so the pictures are not 100% up to date. Not shown in the pictures are the door panels, and some other details. I also have Corvette C5 calipers and some other parts that can go with it if the price is high enough. Please email me with any and all questions. |

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
