This has been my personal truck that I drive to my daily job and side jobs on weekends that I have owned since January 2005. I bought this truck as I intended on going into business for myself as a marine diesel mechanic and added the Omaha tool bed that I bought new in 2006  and my job changed a little. I still drive the truck daily and back and forth to South Carolina a few times a year for work. I really do not want to get rid of this truck because it is paid for and I have had it for so long and know the history of it but I need a crew cab due to kids and have ordered a new truck. I tell you all this stuff because I want you to know what you are buying. The truck runs beautiful no smoke , no leaks  and drives perfect just did a round trip to north Georgia 12 hours each way and would not hesitate to do it again. It has michellin LTX tires on it with good life with no plugs or patches in them, based on my first set they probably have 30,000 left in them. It has eagle 086 aluminum wheels that have clear cote imperfections and chrome lugnuts have surface rust on the chrome. Has a factory trailer hitch with trailer brakes and a new brake controller, I rented a trailer that had brakes and I had to buy a controller to rent the trailer, towed 10,000pounds to SC and got 15mpg doing 70 on the interstate. The engine had the injectors updated around 170,000 miles they were not bad but dealer diagnosed problem incorrectly and did them under the 200,000 mile injector warranty, high pressure fuel pump was bad so I replaced that at the same time. Water pump was replaced at 205,000 miles, rear u-joints have been replaced, all shocks were recently replaced and bumpstops replaced in front, drivers seat was reupholstered at local shop but I think the springs are broken causing the cushion to have sag in it. I rolled the truck over in a accident in 2005 and the insurance company would not total it instead they put a cab and bed on it, you really cannot tell but cab has a gold firewall  the only thing that I could notice after repair. I had a rear end accident with it a few years ago and got a grapefruit size dent  in the bumper so I bought a new one to replace it. I ordered the tool bed the way I wanted it with flip top boxes and the forward compartment goes the width of the bed, inside dimensions are 72"x48" I did this to keep large parts dry, I had diamond plate that lined the bed for protection but removed because a battery leaked in the back and ate a hole in the aluminum and caused rust underneath you can see in the pictures you could easily cut this out and weld a new piece of steel in or put a piece of plywood over it. I get 15mpg in the city and 20mpg on the highway if I keep it under 70mph. Rear axle seals have been recently replaced and I just had a solenoid go bad in the transmission so it got new fluid and filters replaced at the chevy dealer. I hope this detail of the repairs do not derail you but any truck with 245,000 miles is going to have repairs and I just want to be honest about what has been done, I am not a car dealer nor do I want to be one I really hate selling stuff because I want people to know what they are getting. If you have questions or want more pictures let me know send a message. Always have used shell rotella 15-40 oil , ac compressor is less than a year old and I put a new condenser in at the same time. Evaporator was changed after the injector repair as it got damaged during the process, heater works is not bypassed and does not leak, cruise control works, tow haul mode works it has manual windows, four wheel drive works and the rear end has the factory locker in it. Truck has a aftermarket JVC radio with Sirius satellite radio with a fresh 1 year subscription that I will leave in it. Steering wheel has chunk of foam missing so I put a cover on it. The bed came with only 2 holes cut on each side so I did not put in the back-up lights I wil include them with the sale along with all  paperwork , spare parts and manuals I can find for it. It also takes fuel slow due to placement of fuel fill on the utility bed you just cant go wide open with the nozzle or it will spit back at you. take your time and fill slow and is fine, probably could be fixed easy but I got used to it. Antilock brake module is bad I had it repaired and it did not last you do not need it to drive the truck only needed fo abs to work. Air bag light is on and has been on since accident do not know if it needs to be reset or replaced. That's pretty much the entire history of the truck, repairs and minor issues, please do not let my honesty deter you away from this truck as it runs and drives perfect and all you need to do is put your tools in it and go to work

Chevy reveals new IndyCar aero package

Tue, Feb 17 2015

The IndyCar Series is not one that demands its participating teams and automakers to design their own chassis as they do in Formula One, but for this season, the organizers have opened it up to allow for custom aero packages. What you're looking at here is the new look of the chassis to be fielded by teams running under Chevy power. Based on the Dallara DW12 chassis – introduced three years ago and named after the late Dan Wheldon – Chevy's new package is designed for road courses and short ovals, with the speedway configuration to be revealed later. The kit features new wings front and rear and more sculpted side pods. It's also got new wedges at the back to envelop the otherwise open wheels that are a hallmark of Indy racing, a more streamlined engine cover and bigger rear bumper pods. The new package will debut at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg that will kick off this year's championship in Florida on March 29, followed by the road-course grands prix in Louisiana, Long Beach, Alabama and Indianapolis before the new package needs to be ready for the Indy 500 late in May. Half of the teams on the starting grid this season will be running under Chevy power and are expected to use this new aero kit, with the remaining Honda teams slated to run a different package of their own. Chevrolet Debuts All-New 2015 IndyCar Aero Package Chevy-developed bodywork delivers improved aerodynamics 2015-02-17 INDIANAPOLIS – Chevrolet-powered racecars in the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series will feature Chevrolet-developed aero packages. Chevrolet introduced the road course/short oval body design today at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It is distinguished from the previous racecar with new front wing elements, sculpted side pods and a new rear wing. A speedway configuration for the aero kit, designed for high-speed ovals, will be introduced ahead of its competitive debut at Indianapolis in May. "This is an important milestone in Chevrolet's involvement in IndyCar racing," said Jim Campbell, General Motors U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. "We focused on developing an aerodynamic package that delivers an balanced combination of downforce and drag, along with integrated engine performance. It's a total performance package." The new Chevy road course aero configuration delivers greater aerodynamic performance than the previous design.

GM and Ford quarterly sales continue to slump in China

Fri, Jul 5 2019

BEIJING — General Motors and Ford announced their quarterly sales in China fell, albeit at a slower pace sequentially, as the U.S. automakers were hit by a slowing economy amid the Sino-U.S. trade war. GM's vehicle sales in China for the quarter ended June 30 dropped 12.2%, while Ford's sales slumped by 21.7%. While GM also suffered from heightened competition in its key mid-priced SUV segment, Ford was hurt by the limited new models for customers to choose from. For the first quarter of this year, Ford's sales in China tumbled 35.8 percent while GM's skid 17.5 percent. Still, the numbers from GM, the second biggest international automaker in China by sales, and Ford portend more uncertainty for the industry which is trying to rebound from a downward spiral that led to its first annual sales decline last year in more than two decades. GM delivered 1.57 million vehicles in China in the January-June period this year, while Ford delivered 290,321 vehicles. China's factory activity shrank more than expected in June, highlighting the need for more economic stimulus amid higher U.S. tariffs and weaker domestic demand. Annual car sales in China fell last year for the first time since the 1990s, and they are expected to fall this year too. Sales tumbled 16.4% in May from the same month a year prior, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said. That marked the 11th consecutive month of decline and followed falls of 14.6% in April and 5.2% in March. U.S. car companies' share of total China passenger vehicles sales fell to 9.6% in the first five months of this year from 10.9% in the year-ago period, according to CAAM. Over the same period, German car makers' share has risen to 23.3% from 20.9% and Japanese auto makers' to 21.3% from 17.3%. CAAM is set to announce June sales next week, which industry analysts forecast will be negative.   New models In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac are made. It also has another venture, with SAIC and GuangxiAutomobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of GM's affordable brand Baojun dropped 31.8% for the latest quarter. But luxury brand Cadillac's sales jumped 36.6%. GM sold 3.64 million units in China last year, down from 4.04 units in 2017. Ford makes cars in China through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors Corp (JMC).
