This 1990 Chevrolet Cheyenne
3500 4x4 diesel 1-ton dually military ambulance truck is a unique and
rare vehicle, with an incredibly low 454 actual miles. This is not a typo. Not
4540, not 45,400, not 454,000, but four hundred and fifty-four, period. It is
to all intents and purposes a brand-new truck. It was purchased from a Government auction. It
had been in storage for several years at the Marine Corps Base in Camp
Pendleton near San Diego. It had never seen active duty and was only driven for
short distances around the base, hence the amazingly low miles. It came with a government sticker showing the
original purchase price of $37,409. It’s powered by a 6.2 liter diesel engine and an automatic transmission,
and factory-equipped with four wheel drive. Because it’s a diesel, it never
needs to be smogged. The truck is in perfect mechanical condition and it runs beautifully,
just as you would expect for a vehicle that is practically new. I would not
hesitate to drive it from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic Circle and back again. It was gone over thoroughly to make sure there were no mechanical issues
from the years of storage. It received six new Nexen Roadian AT II tires, a
full tune-up, new battery, new fuel pump, and all fluids were changed. Also,
the old R-12 air conditioning was converted to R-134a, and it blows ice-cold. The original military green paint still has a nice shine. However, the
clearcoat is peeling on the hood and top of the left fender, and some of the
paint on the rear door hinges is chipped. Also, all of the doors have military
insignia which were spray-painted over before they auctioned it. The body is almost perfect, with a few small dings, but no dents, rust,
or bondo. There are a few traces of very minor surface rust on the underside,
no doubt because of Camp Pendleton’s proximity to the ocean. Also, the front
roof vent cover is rusted through. The interior is like new. The only defect is a couple of incisions in
the rubber floormat, where something was apparently installed and then removed. The rear ambulance section is constructed of lightweight, sturdy
aluminum, including the interior panels. The two top gurneys can easily be
detached and slide right out. All of the original equipment is intact and operational, except for the
front-mounted spotlight. The red beacon on top revolves and can be seen for
miles, a great safety feature. The bank of overhead switches controls these
functions: floodlight, AC/heat blower, patient lights, beacon, suction, exhaust
vent, and intake vent. Even the suction machine works, and I’m sure someone can
find a good use for it! This truck would make an awesome custom expedition vehicle, toy hauler,
and/or RV. But if you’re a military vehicle collector, you’ll never find one as
pristine and original as this. |

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
