I am selling my 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT pickup truck. I orignally bought it to move from New Jersey to Texas to California, but now have purchased a smaller car. This would be a perfect work truck. Sold as-is.
It is in very good mechanical condition and fair cosmetic condition. I drove it across the country with no issues at all! It has a clean title and recent smog (<60 days, so you don't have to get one). I have run a carfax on it, and can provide it if you don't want to run your own.
===TRUCK DETAILS===
-Clean Title
-Recent Smog Pass (<60 days)
-178k miles
-16mpg highway (when I drove TX-to-CA)
-VIN: 2GCEC19T6X1117449
===OVERALL SPECS===
-5.3L V8 Engine
-Automatic Transmission
-Air Conditioning (works perfectly)
-Hinged Third Door, Seats 5
-4-Wheel ABS
===Added Stuff===
-Leather Front Seats (came from a Chrysler Escalade)
-Radio (aftermarket that has mp3, aux, usb, bluetooth hookups)
-Sprayed heavy protective bed liner (good for hauling rough gear)
-Tow braket w/ light hookup (don't have a ball, though)
-Replaced hood that was re-painted to truck color
===Mechanics===
-Engine: good, stock, oil changed regularly
-Transmission: good, replaced by previous owner (Dec 2012)
-Brakes: good, pads replaced by previous owner (~Oct 2012)
-Battery: good, also I have a spare
-Cooling: good, no leaks
-Tires: good, have 10-20k miles left on them
-Lights: everything works fine
-Shocks: good, doesn't bounce
-CHECK ENGINE LIGHT: off (i.e. no problems)
===What is Wrong===
-The console bottom display goes in and out due to a loose connection in the console plug. You can push on the console to get it to light back up (since it squeezes to make a more tight connection). This does not affect anything beyond the bottom display on the console (gauges and alert lights still work fine), so you just can't see what gear you're in and the current milage (the milage is still accurate, though).
-The fuel tank sending unit is faulty, most of the time sending a low-fuel signal to the console. When you drive for a while (>50 miles), the sending unit will start to work again and give you a good fuel level reading on the gauge. I mostly go off the milage (>350 miles means I'm at about a quarter tank). It's an easy replacement, but you need to drop the fuel tank out to get at the sending unit. Up to you. This seems to be common (google "1999 silverado fuel gauge").
-There is some rust damage on the bottom of the driver side panel (see picture). This truck lived in the northeast for most of its life, so it was around salted roads for most winters. I've crawled under and looked at the frame and rust is minimal, and the frame is in very good shape (when I bought it, it was by far the best frame for its age). The fuel tank is plastic, so no rust on it. The exhaust system has normal rust for its age, but out in California it won't get worse unless you drive it a ton on the beach (or around salt water). Overall, this truck is in very good structural condition for it's age and previous location.
-There are some various small dents and scratches on the outside. This truck was used by the previous owner to haul mechanical equipment, so it was a work truck.
-Apparently there was side impact accident in 2006. It was several owners ago, so I don't know the details, but it was not totaled and appears to have been fully repaired.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet
Tue, May 9 2017When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:
