2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 on 2040-cars
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
Feel free to email: erinsettlemyre@juno.com . This is a 2007.5 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 Duramax Diesel. I listed it as a 2008 model because that's basically what it is. The truck was manufactured late year 2007 and was the first year of the newer body style. The truck has 132,000 miles and counting as I still drive it on the evenings and on weekends (I am fortunate enough to have another vehicle that my employer provides, hence the low mileage on this truck) The truck is in excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically. The body has only minimal rock chips and surface scratches that would be expected of a truck with this mileage. The only body damage to speak of is a small dent on the top right bed rail that you don't even notice unless you are looking closely. The paint on the truck is in great shape and is still takes a shine very well as you can see in the photos. Mechanically, the truck has absolutely no problems at all. Anyone that knows diesels will tell you that these Duramax engines are built to last. Paired with the Allison transmission, this truck is still in the early stages of its life. The truck comes with a 4 inch exhaust and EFI live tuning by Kory Willis. This truck is adult owned and has never been abused. Tuner was installed for fuel economy, not showing off. The Toyo M/T tires are in good shape with plenty of tread left. I installed brand new bilstein shocks all the way around last year. This truck has been in Texas it's entire life and has no rust! Inside, the truck has titanium gray leather interior with heated seats. Leather is in great shape with no stains and only minimal wear. Truck has never been smoked in and smells very clean.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
