Roscoe, Illinois, United States

1991 Chevrolet K1500 4x4 Standard Cab, Short box Silverado Pickup.  116,036 miles.  A/C blows cold, Heat works very well.  All the dash controls and radio works well.  Engine, I think, was rebuilt and carburetor and aluminum intake installed.  MSD Distributor and coil.  Truck starts right up, runs very good.  I have put about 2-thousand miles on it, and it has not burned any oil.  Starts very well, runs good, no smoking. 

I have installed a new battery, a new alternator, new front brakes (pads, calipers and rubber lines) and new ABS controls and modules.  Everything works as it should.  When I bought the truck, the dealer had replaced the rear end with a unit from a Tahoe, with bigger rear brakes.  The rear brakes worked TOO well, so I installed an adjustable proportioning valve and cut the pressure to the rear brakes.  They now work as they should, the truck stops really well.  Once in a while, when you start the truck, the ABS light comes on, but turns off within a minute.  Must be re-booting itself?

Newer tires with lots of tread left.  I have had those Road Force balanced, at 70-mph the truck drives down the road very smooth.  Wheels some discoloration, need to be polished.

Interior shows some wear on the driver’s seat.  Carpet is good; I put new rubber mats in it.  The left hinge is broken on the glove box door, needs to re-glued.  Everything works inside, all the lights, radio, wipers, etc.  Everything on the truck works as it should.  Everything.

Body shows no rust or bubbles, but I think it was re-painted a while ago.  Paint is very nice.  Headlights and tail-lights need to be polished and brought back to clear.  Frame is starting to show surface rust.  Under the bed, the cross braces have some rust thru.  Dual exhaust is good, but not stock.

I bought this truck Early July to use as a second truck, a backup.  I sold the Dodge Dually and bought a newer Chevrolet, so I am going to sell this truck.  I needed another truck for when the Dodge was constantly in the shop! 

I have tinkered with this truck since I bought it, fixing all the little things.  It runs and drives very nice.  Everything works, even the windshield washers.  I would not be afraid to drive this truck anyplace.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
