1988 Chevy Crew Cab 4x4 K/V30 heavy duty 1 ton with a 1st gen. Cummins turbo diesel. I bought the truck with a blown 454 and put in a low mileage drivetrain from a '92 Dodge truck. The Dodge title (which I have) and odometer read 29K. As for the body and chassis, I don't know exactly how many miles it had but would figure about 200k. Since the conversion i have put about 10-15k on it. I drove the truck for several years after putting it together and it ran very well. The truck has been parked for a few years, during which time the rocker panels and cab corners were replaced. I have painted those areas of the truck but it could use a complete paint job if you want a super nice looking vehicle. The clear coat over the red is rough in some places. It has a very solid body but does have some dents and dings. There is light surface rust in a few areas on the frame and the body. Take a look at the pictures and it should give you an idea of the rust. I raised the body 3 inches to clear the engine and installed new body mounts at that time. The floor pans are solid, however the inside portion where the rocker attaches to has rusted through in a couple places. I sand blasted and repainted all the metal behind the rocker panels and cab corners. This truck was originally sold as a cab and chassis setup, bed was added by previous owner.
Ok, now for the engine, this is a rotary injection pump (has been resealed and had larger fuel pin and 3200 rpm gov. spring installed). There are 2 sets of injectors that come with the truck, factory and a set of 100+hp injectors. The turbo is a later model HX 35 which spools quickly. Boost can hit 30 lbs. The Dodge intercooler and radiator where used. The engine runs smoothly and does not seem to use oil. I fabricated the exhaust from 4 inch pipe starting right behind the turbo. I used the factory Dodge crossmembers for the engine and trans, so mounting points are Dodge design. The truck smokes a little at idle with the big injectors but still gets about 18-20 mpg highway at about 65. I believe rpms are about 2000 at 65.
The trans is the Dodge A518 automatic overdrive. Before it was installed in the truck, I rebuilt the trans with performance parts and a special low stall convertor from DTT. This trans does not have lockup. The convertor holds the power very well and the trans shifts and works well.
The transfer case is the Dodge version of the NP205 cast iron case gear drive. The driveshafts were cut and rebalanced and u joints were replaced at the time of swap. The axles are the original Chevy setup with a Dana 60 solid front axle and an open 14 bolt corporate rear. The ratios are matched at 3.73 and run well on the highway. I currently run 285/75/16 tires. Front will need replaced and rear have about 50%. (BFG all terrain T/A)
The A/C was converted to r134a and uses a Dodge compressor made for that refrigerant. Both the A/C & heating systems work well.
The interior is basic with no headliner or surrounding trim. It does have power locks and windows which work on 3 of the doors. Radio is a newer cd player and I put new speakers on the door panels and new 6*9 speakers behind rear seats. From the pictures, you will see a few cracks in the dash and there are some small holes from probably a cb or other controls. The driver seat area is rough but all other areas are good. It has tilt steering and intermitent wipers. The carpet is a charcoal grey and is not the original design. I have recently installed new door gaskets on all 4 doors. The truck can be a little noisy inside since there is no headliner or extra trim. I do have some Dynamat material that goes with the truck, I just never installed it. Also, the guages are Autometer and Sunpro and are set into the factory dash panel. There is a boost guage, trans temp guage and also a egt guage that have the sensors installed, but need to be hooked up. The truck was originally set up with dual fuel tanks and I retained that system. However, the aftermarket fuel guage calibration is slightly off so it stays on full for quite a while, then drops quickly. (I did run out of fuel a couple times before learning this.) Truck recently drove about 300 miles with no trouble at all. Email me through ebay if you have any questions.

GM workers in Oshawa walk out in protest of plant closure
Mon, Nov 26 2018TORONTO/MONTREAL – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday expressed his "deep disappointment" in General Motors' decision to close its Oshawa plant, a move Canadian officials only learned about on Sunday and which led workers to walk off the job on Monday. GM said the closure affects a total of 2,973 assembly line jobs. GM's total employment in Canada is 8,150 direct jobs. Workers in the Unifor trade union walked out of the Oshawa plant "in protest," ahead of a meeting with GM about the announcement, a union spokeswoman said. "I've moved my family twice for this company and they do this to me," a tearful worker told CBC TV as he left the plant. Currently, the Oshawa plant builds the Cadillac XTS and Chevy Impala sedans. Under Unifor's four-year contract signed in 2016, GM must give the union a year's notice before closing the plant. The automaker intends to close the plant in December, 2019. A 2015 study commissioned by Unifor, which represents GM employees, estimated that shutting the plant would eliminate 4,100 direct jobs and reduce Ontario's gross domestic product by C$1.1 billion. But Jerry Dias, president of Unifor, said the move amounts to a breach of the automaker's contract with its employees. "We have a collective agreement that says they're not closing any of our facilities ... so we will do anything by any means to make sure that they live up to their word," Dias said at a news conference. Dias said the contract between Unifor and the company forbids GM from closing any of its Canadian plants during the contract period, which ends in September 2020. "They are not closing our damn plant without one hell of a fight." Canadian officials promised to aid auto workers affected by the 2019 closure, part of a wider restructuring by the automaker that will cut production of slow-selling models and slash its North American workforce. "I spoke with GM (CEO) Mary Barra to express my deep disappointment in the closure," Trudeau tweeted on Monday. "We'll do everything we can to help the families affected by this news get back on their feet." GM workers have been part of the heart and soul of Oshawa for generations - and we'll do everything we can to help the families affected by this news get back on their feet. Yesterday, I spoke with @GM's Mary Barra to express my deep disappointment in the closure.
GM threatens predatory dealers with order cancellations, non-transferrable warranties
Fri, Jul 29 2022General Motors will launch a second salvo against misbehaving dealerships next week with a new set of policies aimed at curbing predatory markup strategies. With the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06, GMC Hummer EV SUV and Cadillac Escalade-V about to head into production, GM is putting its foot down yet again. Dealers that attempt to circumvent GM's markup restrictions by dealing directly with brokers or other resellers could find themselves in a particularly nasty spot, as the company is threatening to withhold future allocations and end the transferability of warranties when dealers facilitate the reselling of vehicles within 12 months. While this may help curb some dealership chicanery, it's possible the real loser in such a deal could end up being the customer who unwittingly ends up with an un-warrantied vehicle. We suspect GM has accounted for that, but we'll have to wait until next week to find out exactly how these new policies will be enforced.
Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt have best sales month of 2015
Tue, Jun 2 2015Things are trending upwards for the two best-selling plug-in vehicles in the US. Both the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf had their best sales month of 2015 in May, with the Volt selling 1,618 units and the Leaf moving 2,104. The upward swings come at an interesting time, with lots of excess first-gen Volts waiting for buyers and some buyers already ordering their second-gen Volts. So far in 2015, the Leaf has outsold the Volt 7,742 to 4,397. While 7,700 Leafs is respectable, it's nowhere near the numbers that Nissan will have to hit to reach the 50,000 annual sales that CEO Carlos Ghosn says is possible in the US. Still, the Leaf had its best sales month since December 2014 (when it sold 3,102 units) in May, but last month was still down 32.5 percent compared to May 2014. Despite the smaller overall number, May represents a big positive for Chevy, which has seen sluggish sales for the Volt for a long while now. The 1,618 Volts sold last month are only 3.9 percent lower than the 1,684 sold in May 2014 and May 2015 was the best month for Volt sales since August 2014. Perhaps salesmen are ready to make deals, what with thousands sitting around on dealer lots right now. The next-gen Volt is due this fall, and the order books (in California, at least) opened up this week. Like every month, our full wrap-up of green car sales in the US is coming soon (the VW e-Golf, for example, hit a best-ever high of 410 sales). Until then, feel free to discuss the Volt and Leaf sales figures in the Comments. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid ev sales hybrid sales
