This 1983 GMC Sierra Classic (K5 body style, same as Jimmy, Blazer) has a strong 350 with a Comp Cams roller rocker setup (1.52 ratio) as well as headers. I removed a valve cover to check, see pictures. I believe there's some money in the motor, judging from the lope and pep the engine has. The truck starts right up and runs very well. The radiator looks like it has been replaced very recently, and it looks like it has a new transmission cooler as well. I have a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass with a very fresh, slightly built up 350, and I considered doing a swap, if that tells you how nicely the motor runs. I locked in the four wheel drive and everything seems to be in good working order. I mostly used this vehicle between home and work, and to pick up aquariums for my business. The interior has seen better days, as you can see in the picture, but it is still very serviceable for back country adventuring. The body is very straight with only a couple minor dents (one on the passenger door, and the other on the passenger rear corner). The underside is very clean -- this truck would make an excellent candidate for restoration. These trucks commonly rust along the back end where the rear door hinges, but this is one is clean as a whistle. As you can see, the cab mounts are all in great shape, as well. At some point, someone installed a hefty guard on the front differential. This truck came with some nice options, including electric windows (which still work, including the back) and air conditioning (it was removed from the engine compartment at some point).
As I said, the truck starts up immediately and goes down the road smoothly. I hate to see this one go, as it's very solid structurally and it looks like someone has already invested some money in the drivetrain. I've just got too many projects to take on another!

Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V6 nets 18 mpg city, 24 highway
Wed, 19 Jun 2013There is no doubting that fuel economy has become an important factor in the highly competitive fullsize truck market, with the Ford F-150 EcoBoost V6 and Pentastar V6-powered Ram 1500 setting quite a precedent in recent years. Now it's General Motors' turn. The General has just announced that the new base V6 used in the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 models will return an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway in two-wheel drive trim, regardless of cab configuration.
While these figures don't go so far as to earn GM any "best-in-class" fuel economy claims (thanks to the 25-mpg Ram 1500 HFE), this new 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 does edge the F-150 and Toyota Tundra while boasting best-in-class numbers for torque, payload and towing capacity among six-cylinder rivals. This all-new engine produces 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, and it gives the 2014 Silverado and Sierra the highest towing rating among standard V6 models with a 7,200-pound towing capacity - besting the Ram by 700 pounds, the base F-150 by 1,100 pounds and coming within 200 pounds of the V8-powered Nissan Titan. Scroll down for the official press releases from Chevrolet and GMC.
Google Earth helps sheriff's department find stolen car [w/video]
Sun, 29 Sep 2013A stolen-vehicle case opened back in March was recently solved with the help of a property owner using Google Earth, a virtual globe and mapping service similar to Google Maps, ABC News reports. The man, who remains anonymous, found the stolen GMC Yukon while he was surveying his property in George County, Mississippi, using the map service and, judging by the top-down satellite image, thought he found a "shooting house" on his hunting grounds.
When he drove out to the suspicious structure, he realized it actually was a sport utility vehicle wedged in thick brush about 70 yards from the nearest road, so he called the police.
Law enforcement officers had arrested a female suspect in the case earlier based on eyewitness accounts, but didn't prosecute her because the stolen SUV hadn't been found. Ben Brown, a lieutenant detective with the George County Sheriff's Department, says that he ran the plates and confirmed the SUV was the stolen vehicle the department had been looking for.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
