Chevrolet S-10 Extended Cab Lt on 2040-cars
Winter Park, Florida, United States
Looks like it may be time to sell my baby. Hate to do it as I have so many things left I would like to do with it but I need to replace the engine in my diesel Suburban and I just don't have the funds to do it right without selling the S10. I will try and describe everything to the best of my memory and be as accurate as possible.Bought it back in December 2010 after looking for over a year for the right truck. It was already lowered with the Belltech package and some paintwork obviously performed, but overall a nice looking truck. It had a New England Patriots airbrushed football player on the hood which required stripping and repainting the first week. It also had gloss black Redrum wheels (don't remember the style name) that were also removed. It came with an Audiovox Prestige alarm system with remote start. It also had aftermarket power windows which I have not done anything with as they have always worked ok. The tailgate handle was relocated to inside the bed. And the Magnaflow exhaust was also already installed. I believe it had somewhere in the neighborhood of 80K miles if I remember correctly.Since then it has been my main daily driver and I have made the following changes:K&N Cold Air IntakeBlazer Front BrakesBelltech Blazer drop spindlesBlazer disc brake rear end (3.42)Snugtop hard tonneau cover (used - painted to match with new locks installed)GM roll panHidden hitch with flip down plate20X8.5 KMC Novas with Vogue 245/40/20 Signature "V" tiresHID'sClear tail lights with yellow film (LED bulbs)LED turn signal bulbs with flasher mod performedBucket seats with center console (seat heater on driver's side)Long overhead console with outside temp/compass feature (not finished)Pioneer AVIC Navigation head unit with backup cameraAll windows tinted with LLumar film (50% on windshield)BedrugRecent repairs/maintenance include intake manifold resealed, driveshaft balanced and carrier bearing replaced, new coolant hoses. Still needs rear main seal replaced and tie rod ends.

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says
Sun, Jun 25 2023Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent. In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
