1993 S10 4x4 on 2040-cars
Great Cacapon, West Virginia, United States
This is one of the nicest s10 4x4s around. It has been restored to better than factory spec. The paint is about 4 years old now. The engine has just over 3000 miles since being rebuilt. The trans & transfer case were rebuilt. The differentials received new bearings and seals up front, new bearings, seals, Richmond gear ring & pinion gear, and an Eaton limited slip locker in the rear. The suspension was totally redone with new bushings throughout, including the cab mount bushings. New custom heavy duty leaf springs in the back with & heavy duty torsion bars up front. The shocks are custom Bilstein 5100 series with custom valving. The interior was redone about 4 years ago as well. Everything works as it should. The engine was rebuilt with new piston, rings, crank & bearings, L35 vortec cam, 1.6 scorpion roller rockers, with full port & polished heads. The intake runners were ported as well as the exhaust manifolds. Went with exhaust manifolds as opposed to headers due to the maintenance factor down the road. The Exhaust is all new from engine back, in a stock y-pipe to cat, then runs out with a cat-back dual system. The computer received a stage 2 chip from Ed Wright performance. The engine is updated with electric cooling fans & remote trans cooler as well. The alternator, the brackets, and the intake were all hand polished aluminum. The wheels are the factory 5-star and have just received a brand new set of Goodyear Duratracs. Less than 500 miles on the tires. Please feel free to ask questions. Drive it anywhere. The push button 4x4 works flawlessly. The toolbox, & cb radio come with the truck as pictured unless otherwise requested. Please check out my pics. this truck has had over 5 years of time & over $20K invested in it, but now that it is completed it only sits. It is a loss for me to sell it but I am getting older & want less to take care of. |

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
