2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 With Mods on 2040-cars
Buchanan, Michigan, United States
I am selling my 2001 Silverado LS standard cab long bed, with 117,000 miles. The truck is in beautiful condition with some surface rust on frame (has not seen winters since I have owned it) with rebuilt 5.3 engine (truck came with 4.8, replaced with 2002 5.3 with 20,000 miles), transmission, rear-end, drive shaft, suspension, brakes, new tires, custom exhaust, and tune. I bought the truck in 2005 with 78,000 miles for $9,000 and have put over $25,000 in mods. Mods include, but not all, 5.3 W/ ported/polished heads with 5 angle valve job. Manley valves- 1.65 exhaust 2.02 intake, PAC Beehive springs. Custom Lunati CAM 218/224 int/exh @ 0.05" duration 0.558" / 0.560" int/exh lift 112+4 LSA. Roller rockers and hardened pushrods. Edlebrock headers/custom exhaust with cats removed and rear O2 sensors removed and deactivated. Radix Magna Charger. Rebuilt 4l60e trany, Yank TT3000.Rebuilt rear end with Detroit TruTrack/4.11's and Caltracs traction bars. Widened stock rear rims by weldcraftwheels Michigan to 8 inch, stock is 6.5 inch. Tuned by KLUG'S SS. New brakes, battery, belts, all fluids changed as of 2013. The truck puts out 500hp+ at rear wheels. The only reason I am selling is because I am looking for a new project or toy. Please don't waste my time with ridiculous offers, joy ride fetishes, scams of buying it and having it shipped, or any other BS. If you are truly interested in the truck, call me and make an appointment to see it in person or at least call me with questions. Truck is currently stored next door at neighbors. Ask for Jeff five seven four seven zero seven five one eight eight.
3/29/2014 I wanted to add that the mods made were done around 100k miles and then again around 105k miles. The body has 117k miles on it, the transmission, drive shaft, rear end, brakes, coltracs, second cam shaft (had a Z06 cam first swap), upper valve assembly, oil pump, have about 5k miles on them. I average about 1500 miles a year on the truck. The oil gets changed before storage, after, and usually during the summer. I use castrol semi synthetic 10w30, with either a wix or Pureone oil filter. The radiator is stock with new core that is twice the size as stock with added extra trans cooler. She has two fuel pumps running 42lb injectors. I usually run the highest octane available and mix it with 110 racing fuel, about half and half. The front tires are 245/70/16 and the rears are 285/60/16. My goal was to make a sleeper and she has performed very well!

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
