I'm selling my 1997 Chevy truck as I haven't any need of it anymore. It has a new this last summer PT flatbed put on it. The motor is not a rebuild but a 454 crate motor from GM and now has around 38000 miles on it. The trans is a HD 5 speed with only 7500 miles on it. The rear end was rebuilt with with new seals and bearings and all new 3.73 gears, and only has around 9000 miles on it. It had springs for a 2 ton installed and another 1 ton helper springs in the rear. You can really put 3 ton on the rear and it will not bottom out. The most I have towed with it was a 21000 lb 45' 5th wheel and the truck did it with out any issues. The truck runs and drives like new and I have it setup to haul any trailer out there. It has a 10,000 lb goose-neck, 24,000 lb Super 5th wheel, and 10,000 lb bumper hitch as well. I used it as a hot shot hauler and moved camping trailers with it all over the US and Canada. It has 4 new tires and 2 still good useable ones so it can be put right to work. It has had almost everything in the front end replaced as well. Like Tie-rods, ball joints and wheel bearings. The brakes are about 1 year old as well as the rear shocks. Over the past two years the guy I got it from and myself have put close to $9500.00 into the truck and it is more then ready to start working with it. The only bad is that a tree limb fell on the passenger back corner of the cab. That broke the back window out of the truck and left a dent, so I jacked the window opening back out to put a new glass in. As I'm out of work and don't have the money at this time to finish putting the glass in and fix the rest of the dent, I am selling it cheap. This truck will pull anything and keep on going. Only the Truck cab and frame has over 267000 miles on them and the rest of the truck has been upgraded. Really this is a work horse and has years of life left in it, so don't let the miles on the odometer scare you. You could jump in and drive from here to California and not have to worry if it will make it.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
