I'm selling a very clean, high mileage 1998 Chevy Silverado I've owned for a couple months.

 

I bought this truck because I work for a company that provides me a company vehicle. Until this summer I always had the option of a company pickup truck. That changed this year and I decided to buy this truck to haul kids' motorcycles and the occasional load of firewood. Two months later I decided to change jobs and my new position provides a company pickup!

 

I no longer need this truck so I'm hoping someone out there needs it. It's a great, clean, sharp truck from a model year when I think Chevy got it "just right" in terms of body style and options. I don't think the cab corners have ever been worked on and they are solid and in great condition. The rockers are also rust free. The previous owner did brush and paint them to clean up 225,000 miles of scratches but there was no rust he fixed. Please see the pictures to get an idea just how nice the cab corners and rockers are. The only rust on this vehicle is starting at the bottom of the doors under the weatherstripping. The bed is protected by a full bedliner and includes front corner anchors added by a previous owner. There are scratches on the driver's door you can see in the pictures. These only affect the color coat and don't penetrate the primer.

 

The interior is in great shape and only shows one wear spot on the upholstery. This is on the driver's seat and can be seen in the pictures. It comes with an aftermarket stereo with removable faceplate and remote control. It AM/FM/CD as well as an auxiliary jack I use to run my XM receiver. I'm willing to work with you on keeping the XM receiver for the rest of my subscription if you wish as long as you agree to my asking price. It's good for another couple months after which time you may keep the receiver and buy your own subscription or return the receiver and vehicle kit to me - whatever you want.

 

Here are the items that I was going to work on if I had kept the truck:

  • The truck should have new tires before the winter and have a front end alignment. I was waiting to get new tires to get the front end aligned but I'll let the new owner do that.
  • The headlamp switch needs replaced. They can be had for about $35 but again this isn't a priority for me. The headlights work fine but the switch needs to be moved between positions for high beams.
  • The A/C needs to be charged.
  • The check engine light is on. It codes as a catalytic converter error which is to be expected on a high mileage truck. It runs fine and has no effect on the truck's performance.

I just completed a 500 mile round trip to Chicago and back with absolutely no issues. I really enjoy driving this truck but, as I mentioned, I no longer need it and would rather not take up space parking it. Thsi would make a great first vehicle for a young person or use it as I was going to as an extra vehicle to do some work.

 

Please contact me with any questions. I've sold a couple vehicle successfully on eBay in the past and expect this will be the same. I'm not trying to make any money on this truck. In fact I'll lose a couple hundred with my "Buy it Now" but I figure I got that much use out of it.

 

Thanks for viewing!

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

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.
