1994 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer Tahoe LT.  Black Exterior.  Black Interior.

First the good.  ALL the power options work.  Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Power Mirrors, Power Seat, ETC.  all function.  A/C blows cold.  Heater blows hot.  Rear Window release works correctly [this is kinda amazing].  Rear window defrost works.  Cruise control works.  All the Gauges work.  Basically all the stupid stuff that is usually broken on these trucks is working fine.  ABS light is NOT, i repeat NOT on.  amazing.

I just ran this truck through Maryland State Inspection less than a year ago, and their inspection is no joke.  So all the lights and stuff work fine.  It also got New Brakes up front, New oil lines Some front end pieces, a new battery, and a bunch of other little things.  It also had some, admittedly rough body work done to seal a couple of rust holes.

Now for the bad.  The big issue is the motor has a BAD knock in it.  I suspect either a Rod Bearing or Main Bearing failure.  It starts, but cannot be driven as i doubt it'd make it more than a few miles before the motor seized up.  

There was also a small leak in the spider injector that i never did track down that will need to be repaired.

Couple of minor issues.  Driver's side window goes off track when rolling down.  There is a flap in the Vent system that makes most of the air come out under the dash regardless of the position of the controls.  the A/C still blows cold, it's just on your feet.  Some air will come out on the window in defrost mode, but it's still not right.  It was workable, so i never got around to fixing it.

The 4WD does not work.  I tracked it down to the front axle not engaging.  Looks like the cable is binding, but i lost interest in fixing that when the weather got warm.

There is a good bit of rust below the two front doors and on the driver's side door.  The Passenger side front fender has a good bit of rust on it.  There are some dents and dings as well.  I tried to document those in the pictures.

The interior is in pretty good shape.   Couple of small issues, but nothing serious.  NO seat tears or anything.

This truck could be brought back to life by someone with the time to do it, or it would make an EXCELLENT parts truck as basically ALL the little things that are usually broken on these trucks aren't broken on this one.  I had planned on fixing the rust, painting it, and driving this truck for the next few years.  It just didn't work out that way.

Truck will have to be towed or trailered on pickup.  It cannot be driven in it's current state.

This is a NO RESERVE auction.  Highest bidder will win it.

Thanks and Happy Bidding!


here's a video of the truck running so you can hear what noise it's making.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
