Greetings,

We are selling our winter truck as we are moving to Texas next month. We have owned it for about 2 years, and it has been an excellent winter/extra vehicle for us. I would not hestitate to drive it cross country right now, we have taken it on long trips, and it has always worked perfectly. We purchased it from a dealer, and I changed all fluids, coolant, oil, brake fluid, transimssion fluid and filter, diffs, and transfer case. AC was serviced/charged not long after. about 3000 miles ago I replaced the front rotors and pads. It was due for emissions inspection about 6 months ago, failed, and I did a complete tune up and it passed, although they told me that it did throw a transmission solinoid code. The transmssion solinoid cost about $30 dollars and is easy to change, you just have to drop the pan. I did not worry about it as it shifts fine. It has a heavy duty towing hitch on its, I don't know if wiring is good or not as I have never used it. Back bumper is rusty and someone backed into and dented it slightly, I have the black step in the back, as the barn doors will not close with the plastic on.

Positives:

I have a receipt that came with the vehicle that the top end of the engine was rebuilt @ 168,000 miles, at the same time the transmission was serviced and the torque converter replaced. The engine runs great and uses maybe half a quart every 6000 miles. I have used mobil 1 high mileage synthetic since we purchased it.

It has minimal rust, some surface rust on the rockers and bottom of the doors, minor surface in various other places, a small spot in the bed area, but nothing that is at all a functional or even really a cosmetic issue. I treated all rust when we bought it, and it has not progressed since then. the only exception being the back bumper.

AC works well, it does not blow quite as cool as it did when I first had it serviced, but both front and rear AC and heat work fine. 4x4 works well and the electronic tranfer case shift buttons work fine although the lights are intermittent.

Both interior and exterior are decent, not great, not awful, I removed carpet it bed after spilling some oil in it. If you are looking for a show piece, this is not the truck for you.

Negatives:

Oil pressure gauge does not work, and never has, no big deal in my opinion.

Gas tank has leak at top, so if you filled it up, it would overflow. It has a huge tank so I usually just put 25 gallons in, I think it holds  35.

Will need tires soon.

When in 4x4 it binds slightly at full lock. I replaced u joints when I did  front brakes.

Rear door locks do not work with buttons, barn door works with buttons but the key lock is frozen.

All in all this is a great truck, and we will be sorry to see it go, but do not need it down south.

Full payment required before truck is picked up, I will mail keys and title when payment has cleared.

Let me know if you have any questions, need more photos, within reason, if you are close, you are welcome to come for a test drive.

Low or negative feedback bidders will have bids deleted.

 

Thanks for looking! No reserve, someone will get a great extra/beater/winter truck!

Smaller Cars Endure Big Problems On Crash Test

Wed, Jan 22 2014

In a crash test of 11 of the smallest cars on the market, only one vehicle received an acceptable rating. The rest received marginal or poor ratings in the study, providing evidence that supports a widely held notion that smaller cars are among the least safe on the road. No other vehicle group has performed as poorly on a new crash test than these mini cars, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the nonprofit group that conducted the testing. The latest results of which were released Wednesday. The Chevrolet Spark was the only car earning an overall "acceptable" rating on the small-front overlap test, and even that vehicle had its shortcomings, IIHS said. "Small lightweight vehicles have an inherent safety disadvantage," said Joe Nolan, the senior vice president for vehicle research at IIHS. "That's why it's even more important to choose one with the best occupant protection. Unfortunately, as a group, minicars aren't performing as well as other vehicle categories." The Mazda2, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris and certain Ford Fiesta models all received "marginal" overall grades on the test, while the Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius C, Hyundai Accent, Fiat 500 and Honda Fit all earned "poor" ratings. Results from these sub-compact cars fare much worse than vehicles sized just a little bit bigger, IIHS said. Among 17 cars evaluated in the small category, five earned "good" ratings and five more earned "acceptable." Only introduced a year ago, the small-front overlap test has quickly become a key indicator of differences in automotive safety. IIHS introduced it as a way to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with a tree or utility pole at 40 miles per hour. In the real world, these sorts of accidents are more dangerous than others, in part because they bypass the front-end crush zones on most cars.

Without a grade of acceptable or better, they cannot qualify for the IIHS' overall Top Safety Pick+ honor, given annually to the safest models on the market.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

Chevy up to old EVs-equal-range-anxiety tricks in new Volt Olympics ad

Fri, Feb 14 2014

General Motors is at it again with a new Chevrolet Volt TV commercial. Viewers of the Winter Olymics (at least in some markets) recently saw a TV ad in between the skating and the skiing that made no mention of the environmental benefits or freedom from the power of Big Oil that electric vehicles provide. No, this one was based on pure survival instinct. In the video, a father is driving down a highway, perhaps through the Mojave Desert. His young son is sitting in the Volt's backseat and asks what happens when the EV's battery runs out. "We'll have to cross that burning desert with snakes and cactus until we make it back to civilization," the dad tells his son as they pass the skeleton of a fallen bull. The fine print makes it clear that the actual maximum range is 342 miles. But there is hope. The father tells his son, with a beaming smile on his face, that the gas generator has kicked in and they're going to make it through the desert. As they wend their way to the horizon, a voice over says that Volt drivers who charge up regularly are making it 900 miles between fill ups. The fine print makes it clear that the actual official maximum range before you need to either plug in or fill up is 342 miles. This theme that emphasized range anxiety has been utilized by GM since the extended range Volt was launched in late 2010, despite the fact that Chevrolet now offers an all-electric vehicle in the Spark EV. Volt fans are praising the commercial, called The New Freedom, on the GM-Volt forum and you can see for yourself below. This content is hosted by a third party.
