I have a El Camino I bought from an auto auction in 2004 that I think had been reposed. I have a clear and free title which I just had brought up to date which cost me $55 for title and taxes and interest. I bought this with intentions of fixing up for grandson to drive to school. Never got it done in time, he bought something else. I have done a lot on it but still has a long way to go and needs some one to take over. #1 it smokes a lot. Starts real good, purrs like a kitten, but why it smokes I don't know. Looks like I put new spark plugs and wires on the car on Apr of 2013, also Oil, filter and fuel filter. Put New ignition coil, distributor rotor & cap on 10/23/2012. Have done misc. blasting and painting underneath, such as brake drums, took gas tank off and blasted and painted, rear end blasted and painted , transmission pan and so on. mostly rattle can painting as was not fixing up to be show car, just presentable. 2 cracks in dash pad, otherwise not bad. Had dash out and cleaned out real good, seats and side panels are fairly good but headliner not tore up but looks like should be replaced. I have door panels off, was working on window motors, one window is out but is in real nice shape, all glass is good. motors are working good now but need to put wires back together and solder. I have new window felts for both doors, new door rubbers which I will sell reasonable to highest bidder when we make a deal on car. These do not go with car. The back end has been blasted dents fixed, and Herculiner put in bed. New door pins, painted inside of door frames. Bumpers are pretty good, tires???fair Battery Fair. Brakes work, but I blew a brake line so has a temporary rubber hose so lines should be replaced. Need to repaint one side of hood stripe, I have some Duplicolor black that can go with the car, also some silver. Tailgate was bad, still not the greatest so if you want it better, will have to redo it. The back Quarters have been replaced with new panels from OPGI $150.00, did pretty good job, needs a little bit of skim coteing. Self etching primer, I have put a lot more time and money into it than I want out of it. Good Luck and bring your trailer, can be driven on trailer but not home. GOOD NEWS I was reading in my Chilton Manual and it said for BLACK SMOKE, change the Air Filter and the Crank Case Air Filter which I did and it sure did make a difference, not much smoke now, just needs to be driven instead of setting around. I drove it around the block a couple times and seems to shift okay. I will also through the manual in with the car.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve 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.
