THIS COMBINATION COOLING SYSTEM IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON LT1 350S WITH THE B4U CODE.I'VE OWNED THIS CAPRICE FOR 4 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT FROM A NEW CAR DEALER WHO HAD IT ON ITS LOT AT QUITE HIGH PRICE. I KNEW THAT NEW CAR DEALERS DO NOT TRY TO SELL 14 YR OLD CARS ON THEIR LOTS UNLESS THEY ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. MOST OFTEN THESE CARS ARE WHOLESALED OUT IMMEDIATELY TO USED CAR DEALERS OR GO DIRECTLY TO AUCTION. SO T TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AND FOUND IT TO BE A ONE OWNER VEHICLE AND IN WHEN FOUND IN EASTERN CANADA AND IN THIS GOOD OF SHAPE, KNEW THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN VERY GOOD CAR OF IT AND DRIVEN IT SPARINGLY DURING THE PREVIOS 14 YRS (APPROX 6000 MILES PER YEAR AND BY THE SHAPE OF THE CAR KEPT IT GARAGED AND SELDOM WINTER DROVE IT.I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS I KNEW HOW RARE AND COLLECTABLE THEY ARE BECOMING AND HAVE OWNED THREE LIKE THIS PREVIOUSLY AND FOUND THEM TO BE VERY STRONG AND RELIABLE CARS.I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THIS CAR APPROX 5000 MILES SINCE BUYING IT AND HAVE ALWAYS STORED IT DURING THE WINTER. ONE WILL ONLY HAV TO SEE THIS CAR AND DRIVE IT TO AGREE IT IS AS GOOD AS I AM REPRESENTING IT TO BE.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
