Custom 1996 Chevy Silverado 1500 Stepside Pickup 4x4 4wd 5.7l Vortec on 2040-cars
Washington, Iowa, United States
|
Custom 1996 Silverado Stepside Pickup 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive 5.7L Vortec , I have another Vortec engine and custom topper goes with this. I bought this vehicle new off show room floor. The interior is cloth seats with wood trim. Most exterior paint is still excellent. The vehicle hit a ditch and mail box in the winter. Then the motor started knocking so I placed it in storage for the past two years. Decided to sell it as I no longer have garage to repair. The box and two doors still are in beautiful condition. Hood and front fenders have clear coat flaking off. The motor will run but knocks and I started it yesterday and tried to move it and transmission now may have seals dried and causing transmission to need repaired. This is a one of a kind collector. Very sharp looking.
On Jul-25-14 at 09:33:32 PDT, seller added the following information: Motor in back of truck is not the 5.7L , picture was taken and added by mistake. I will add the 5.7L picture soon. I have a 2000 5.7L with 145,000 miles to go with this truck. Also have a Custom Step side Topper in great shape only has a few scratches. The 5.7 Vortec motor cost me $1200. And Topper was $1400. The Motor in the truck can be relisted after you install this motor. 5.7L Vortec motors go for 500-$1000 just as a rebuilder. The transmission is believed to now be ok. Mechanic said reason vehicle would not move was due to drive shaft taken out to move without key. I do have the ignition key. |

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
