Strong 1988 Chevy Suburban Two Tone Lift-kit 4x4 on 2040-cars

Year:1998 Mileage:850
Location:

San Antonio, Texas, United States

San Antonio, Texas, United States

This is one of the last legends Detroit made. 1988 solid steel with a customized 6" lift kit. This is a great hunting truck or perfect for off-roading. It runs like a charme and sounds strong. 
I had the transmission rebuilt in January 2013, rebuilt the engine in June 2013 and put 4 brand new BF Goodrich AF All terraiin 33X12.5 R16.5LT in December 2012. It also has a new heater core. The tires have 1,200 miles on them, The transmisison about 1,000 miles and the engine 850 miles on it. Those expenses total up to $5,000 alone. 

Here is what I know is wrong with the truck:
Clearcoat is peeling off in some panels
Dents driver door, rear quarter panel 
Fuel gauge is not working. this is due to the engine rebult. Apparently the mechanic forgot to hook up some line/cable. 
Gearshift indicator is broken.
Small tear in driver seat cloth
Cracked windshield

It has additional headlights, a gauge for a second fuel tank
The engine, transmission (including 4x4) work great. New battery and it cranks right up. New waterpump, alternator and belts. It does need a bit of love, but most of that is simply cosmetic. I actually like the manly look.. (The truck actually came like that when I bought it in 2004). so I never bothered with the cosmetic aspect of it.  It is an Arizona/Texas truck so no rust, salt damage. It has lots of torque and a tow bar installed. The lift kit is 6" and it has Dee-Zee stepbars. The radio is less than a year old and has AV input and CD player. It also has the desirable 3rd row seats

If you are looking for solid truck that won't break for towing your boat, ATV, etc, go hunting in it or just to use to get some mud on the tires, this is your truck. There are not many of these beasts available for sale. 

I am the second owner as far as I know and I had for 10 years as our third vehicle to make runs to Home Depot in it, the occasional hunting trip, but never put more than 4,000 miles on it in a year. The original mileage to the best of my knowledge is 165,000, but the rebuild engine has less than 1,000 miles on it. 

I used it for a while in my business to make deliveries, but then we outgrew it and bought an International Truck. I kept it for a while in our warehouse, but now the wife is making me sell it.  

I love that truck, but love the wife more. 

I'd be happy to answer any questions or send pics of something specific if you like to see that. 

It is a beautiful truck that has lots of power, hate to see it go.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It 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.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
