2006 Chevy Silverado 3500 pickup, 6.6 LBZ Duramax, 6 Speed Allison Automatic, 2 wheel drive. This started life as a cab and chassis pickup that was used as a delivery vehicle for a nearby NAPA auto parts store. They ran it for 329,000 miles and then hit a deer with it. They had a ranch hand replacement bumper on it when they hit the deer, so the damage really didn't look too bad. Unfortunately, the grille guard rolled back into the hood hard enough that it leaned the radiator support back and the fan hit the radiator. I have a body shop and also help out on the family farm, so I bought it, and fixed it myself just to use as a puller for the farm and a service truck. I replaced the hood, left fender, grille, radiator support, radiator, transmission cooler, and all the transmission lines with new OEM parts. The lights were out of another pickup I had, and I traded the damaged ranch hand bumper for the stock bumper that is currently on it. There was no frame damage other than the bumper brackets that are welded to the end of the frame. I straightened those and the bumper lines up nice. I had a friend of mine build the flatbed for it. In my opinion, he over built it as far as materials go. There were no box mounts on the frame from the factory, so instead of fabricating mounts, he welded in to the frame. It isn't welded the whole length of the frame, just every so often. It wouldn't really take much to cut the bed loose and build some proper mounts for it, but it works just fine for how I use it, and I really don't have time to change it myself. It is very heavy and was built to pull large gooseneck trailers. It's 10 1/2 ft long.
The pickup, as a whole, is in excellent condition, inside and out. The interior is very clean, and has no rips or tears in the seats. It has the work truck package, so it has a rubber floor mat, manual windows, door locks, and just the basic am/fm radio, and no cruise control. It does have air conditioning though, and it is ICE cold. I serviced the ac system while everything was apart and works awesome! The body is very clean and straight and looks very nice for a pickup with 200,000 fewer miles on it. The front tires are highway tread firestones and are probably 50%. The rear tires are pretty much new. They are retreads with an aggressive offroad tread pattern and probably have 2000 miles on them. The windshield is new and so are both batteries. I put dual post batteries in this when the originals finally went. They have a little higher CCA and they are nicer for jump starting other vehicles. The pickup starts, runs, and drives nice. It currently has 330,800 miles on it (I haven't driven it a lot since fixing it. I usually just drive it when I haul hay, or cattle. I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it, so I thought I'd throw it out there and see if there's any interest. It's a perfect pickup for the way I've been using it, but it's kind of a shame to have it sitting as often as it does.
The only real problems that exist, if you even want to call them that, are the front shocks, and the filler neck for the rear fuel tank. The shocks seem to float when I back it out of the shop. You really don't notice as much on the road due to the weight of the motor. The rear filler neck was mounted too flat to get fuel in it. If you run the back tires up on a block of wood you can still get fuel in it, but the front tank is plenty big enough on it's own.
I tried to describe this to the best of my ability, but you are definitely encouraged to ask questions, and come look at it in person if you're close enough to justify doing so. Also, if there is something in particular that you would like a picture of just let me know. The easiest way for me to get them to you is to text them. If you're interested and would like to look at it in person, it is located near Carpenter, SD. I have a pretty flexible schedule and could show it pretty much anytime. My name is Alex and you can call or text me at 605-350-2439.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels
Sat, Dec 20 2014The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.

GM: Without LG Chem, we couldn't build Bolt EV [UPDATE]
Wed, Oct 21 2015It's absolutely no surprise that General Motors has a thing for LG Corp. The Detroit automaker and the Korean parts supplier have been working in public on electric vehicles ever since it was announced that LG Chem would supply the battery cells for the Chevy Volt in 2009. LG Chem was even named GM's 2010 Supplier of the Year. But, yesterday, the connection between the two companies was strengthened with the announcement that LG Electronics would be supplying a number of components for the upcoming Chevy Bolt electric vehicle. The Bolt is expected to be able to go about 200 miles and will carry a price tag of about $30,000 (after incentives) when it arrives in 2017 or so. LG's new components can be found almost everywhere in the Bolt. They include the battery pack and the battery heater, a new motor, the power inverter module, the electric climate control system compressor, the on-board charger, high-power distribution module, the accessory power module, and power line communication module. Oh, and then there are LG Electronics' advanced display technologies like the new instrument cluster and a new infotainment cluster. LG Electronics also supplies parts for the 4G LTE OnStar system, just like it does in other new Chevys. If that all sounds like a lot of components to you, you're right. Mark Reuss, GM executive vice president of global product development, purchasing and supply chain, said that without the expanded relationship with LG, GM would not be able to bring the Bolt to market (insert old ironic quote link here). "I think GM was lacking that [electrification knowledge] in a very complete way for many years, I'll just be frank about that," Reuss said. "I also think that on an electrified basis, this requires a long-term commitment and trust that sometimes is violated on a more short-term, regular, traditional basis. I think we have found something completely different with LG and I think that has become a widely talked about and duplicated want from our purchasing and corporate standpoint with our supply base." The "this" that Reuss is talking about here is the OEM-supplier relationship, something has evolved with the LG-GM situation. Previously, the automaker-supplier relationship used to be more like a dictator telling underlings what he needed, Reuss said, and that was a bad idea. "Today's competitive landscape requires a different approach, especially in electrified vehicles," he said.
Chevy confirms 2016 Camaro will have wheels, brakes
Thu, Apr 9 2015Good news, everyone! Chevrolet has issued yet another round of teaser images and information about the sixth-generation Camaro, set to debut in Detroit on May 16. This time around, Chevy's teaser images confirm that the new car will not only have wheels and tires (Goodyear Eagle F1s, no less), but brakes as well. On top of that, we now know that the new Camaro will be 28-percent stiffer than the outgoing model. "The more rigid body structure allowed the engineers to more precisely calibrate the steering and suspension systems because they didn't have to compensate for chassis flex. The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly," GM said in a press release, which you can read below. We've already learned that the new coupe will be 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor, has a bunch of unique parts, and according to GM's Mark Reuss, will outperform the Ford Mustang in every way. Now, it's only a matter of time before we see the sixth-gen Camaro, but surely not before Chevy issues even more teasers and information. Related Video: 2016 Camaro is Stronger, Lighter and More Responsive Computer aided engineering contributes to 28 percent greater structural stiffness DETROIT – The engineering team spent 9 million hours of computational time honing the driving experience of the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro before the first prototype turned a wheel. The structural modeling led to the Gen 6 Camaro being 28 percent stiffer than the current model. "The modeling abilities of computer aided engineering are advancing at incredible rates," said Jim Karlavage, Camaro program engineering manager. "Today, we can accurately model opportunities to add torsional strength without adding unnecessary mass. The result is a lighter, stiffer structure that benefits every aspect of the driving experience." The more rigid body structure allowed the engineers to more precisely calibrate the steering and suspension systems because they didn't have to compensate for chassis flex. The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly. "The structural weight savings are compounded by opportunities to reduce un-sprung weight," said Karlavage.
