I'm selling my 1997 Chevy truck as I haven't any need of it anymore. It has a new this last summer PT flatbed put on it. The motor is not a rebuild but a 454 crate motor from GM and now has around 38000 miles on it. The trans is a HD 5 speed with only 7500 miles on it. The rear end was rebuilt with with new seals and bearings and all new 3.73 gears, and only has around 9000 miles on it. It had springs for a 2 ton installed and another 1 ton helper springs in the rear. You can really put 3 ton on the rear and it will not bottom out. The most I have towed with it was a 21000 lb 45' 5th wheel and the truck did it with out any issues. The truck runs and drives like new and I have it setup to haul any trailer out there. It has a 10,000 lb goose-neck, 24,000 lb Super 5th wheel, and 10,000 lb bumper hitch as well. I used it as a hot shot hauler and moved camping trailers with it all over the US and Canada. It has 4 new tires and 2 still good useable ones so it can be put right to work. It has had almost everything in the front end replaced as well. Like Tie-rods, ball joints and wheel bearings. The brakes are about 1 year old as well as the rear shocks. Over the past two years the guy I got it from and myself have put close to $9500.00 into the truck and it is more then ready to start working with it. The only bad is that a tree limb fell on the passenger back corner of the cab. That broke the back window out of the truck and left a dent, so I jacked the window opening back out to put a new glass in. As I'm out of work and don't have the money at this time to finish putting the glass in and fix the rest of the dent, I am selling it cheap. This truck will pull anything and keep on going. Only the Truck cab and frame has over 267000 miles on them and the rest of the truck has been upgraded. Really this is a work horse and has years of life left in it, so don't let the miles on the odometer scare you. You could jump in and drive from here to California and not have to worry if it will make it.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
