1991 Chevrolet S10. 78k miles 4.3 V6 Auto.
I recently purchased this truck at a estate sale. The original owner was a WW II veteran who was going to the nursing home. He bought it brand new at Read Chevrolet in Hoopeston Il. It still has the cheap plastic mudguards and floormats the dealer installed when new. The truck has always been garaged kept but it has always been used as a truck. It has scratches, its taken a few door dings or shopping carts to the door. The body is in great shape and has no major dents. bumpers are all straight. He did a great job of keeping from running into anything. There is NO rust issues with this truck. It has one spot in the right front fender where the paint is bubbling. Its common for these trucks with the fender flares. The paint on the hood is showing sings of flaking. I'm sure he never waxed this truck so that was the first thing I did to it. It really cleaned up nice but it is in no way perfect.
The previous owner put two new tires on the front. tires on rear are ok.When I bought it, it was making more fan noise under the hood than normal. I had it checked out and the water pump had a wobble in it so we replaced the water pump. The serpentine looks brand new so we didn't replace it. The old one is behind the seat for emergency. The ONLY thing on this truck that DOESN'T work is the temp gauge. When the water pump work was done we replaced the sending unit for the temp gauge and no success. Supposedly the temp gauge in the cluster going bad is common with these. The most cost effective solution is to buy a aftermarket temp gauge but I will leave that to the new owner. In reality I didn't need this truck, I went to the auction and its such a cute truck so I had to have it. Then when I dropped $350 on a water pump and oil change, sending unit I'm thinking I just want to get my money back out of it. I had it sold locally for $2700 but my reserve is lower than that.
The truck drives absolutely perfect. I use it occasionally to commute on my 27 mile trip to work.Its a real step back in time when you sit in it. A/C blows cold. Cruise control works. Some people have a problem with the transmissions in these trucks. They were put in everything and I've had more than one rebuilt and none of them shift as nice as this one does. If taken care of you can expect another 100k miles on the trans and even more on the motor. The steering is very tight .No rattles .No disappointments when driving this truck. Has power steering and brakes. All the glass is good.
The headliner does sag and at 6ft 1 it is a nuisance for me. Tailgate works properly. The radio/cassette works but only has one working speaker. Truck has a rubber bed mat. Clean title in hand. I will be listing on craigslist and reserve the right to end the auction due to CASH MONEY.
The seat does have a small tear in it. Interior is in great shape

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
