This 1986 Chevrolet Suburban with the Silverado package has an equalizing trailer hitch and extra-heavy suspension for towing a heavy trailer.  


The vehicle is in good running condition and has near-new tires.  It was overhauled by the local dealership last year, and has no serious mechanical problems.  The hauling capabilities of this machine are awesome!  We've used it to move everything from huge loaded haywagons to a very heavy 26 foot vintage travel trailer - with the cargo area loaded, 6 people on board, and a canoe strapped to the roof - with excellent results.  The non-slip differential makes it great for muddy/snowy conditions.

As one should expect on a vehicle of this age, there is some deterioration and minor niggling faults; but nothing that really restricts the usefulness of the vehicle.  There is some hesitation and tendency to stall, reflecting the need for carb work - something the dealer (who obviously only uses Chevy-supplied parts) couldn't address.  There has been some body work on the lower fenders/rocker panels, needed to pass PA inspection.  The finish on the roof is peeling, and shows some surface rust through the primer we used last season.  The driver's seat back has worn thin, there's a couple of tears in the headliner,  and the passenger door lock sometimes has to be opened manually.

Routine gas mileage isn't as bad as one might expect; 12 mpg seems to be about the norm.  It's got a big gas tank, which does negate the need for frequent refilling.  The engine performs far cleaner - and better - if one uses a higher grade in the tank.

GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses

Thu, Apr 7 2016

May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
