1994 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck built in June of 1994 at the Shreveport LA plant. I found a lot of reading on 1997 and 1998 S10 electricars, but not on a 1994, other than Hughes Aircraft was the original designer and it was changed to Electricar. (The Controller on this truck is stamped HUGHES) I purchased the truck in Norman Oklahoma at an impound auction. The truck is in fantastic shape and I bought it for body and interior parts. The batteries were removed before I purchased it, so I have no idea what works and what does not. The original books are still in the vehicle including the Driver Briefing Card, Driver's Log Book for Product Evaluation Program, Owners Manual and cassette tape, manual for FM200 Floor Mount Inductive charger, and business cards from eV electrovehicle from Virginia Power in Richmond Virginia. The placards, or stickers, on the truck are different than the ones normally seen on trucks of this era. It also has a charging point in an opening on the front grill I have not seen on pictures of others. The second plugin port is behind what usually would be the gas cap lid. Under the hood is a whole new world for my eyes, but I can tell no components appear to have been taken off. Any questions about specifics that I wouldn't notice contact me and I will look and take pictures to send. The truck has a good clear Oklahoma title. You can tell the tires are all original including the spare which obviously has never been on the ground. The bed has no dents in or dings inside the bed and again obiously was never used as a truck or to transport cargo. Outside the bed has very light bend where the bed was taken off to get to the batteries. The cab has several very small hail dents from living in Oklahoma. Overall the body is exceptional. The interior is cloth with no tears, the dash board has some cracks on top, but all in all it is also in exceptional condition. I believe this is a very rare truck that was used to proceed the building of the 1997 and 1998 models which didn't work out for GM. I CUT MY RESERVE PRICE IN HALF TO SELL. Bidders with Zero feedback like the buyer of this truck in the last auction have to contact me before bidding or I will reject the bid. It cost time and money to Ebay and it is not fair to others when one can bid and not go through with the purchase. The last auction the zero feedback bidder failed to respond to emails. I have been on Ebay for over 14 years and this is the first time this has happened to me. I googled a government auction in Virginia in March of 2012 last month and found a 1997 S10 in the same condition sold for $7,000.00 My Reserve Price is a fraction of that price and even a lot lower than several bidders bid on my last auction. I started to put it on Buy It Now, but I do like it being an auction instead. Any questions, please ask, my phone number is 405-238-5551. I am located 54 miles south of Oklahoma City and 73 miles north of the Texas state line above Dallas on Interstate 35. I reserve the right to cancel the auction on Zero or Low Feedback bidders if they do not contact before the end of the auction. On Feb-27-14 at 07:35:07 PST, seller added the following information: I added 3 more pictures with the bed on the truck. I also found out yesterday the truck was at the University of Oklahoma on a Grant Program in the 90's. After the Professor retired the University did not know what to do with the vehicle so it sat idle until they finally just wanted it removed to be out of the way. I also received an email from an Ebayer telling me it is a USELECTRICAR and Yahoo has a website. On Feb-27-14 at 07:40:26 PST, seller added the following information: The pictures with the hood open, that is dirt and dust from many years of setting idle. I did not want to wash or clean under the hood since I am not familiar with electrical parts. It looks rusty, but it is not, that is dirt and dust. On Mar-06-14 at 06:10:18 PST, seller added the following information: I cut my Reserve by more than half. |

GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 15 2016Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak
Wed, Sep 24 2014General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
