I will be out of the state July 12-14 and the truck will not be available until after that if auction is allowed to end.
I also reserve the right to end this auction at ANY TIME (to include if the BIN is used without my knowledge) due to local sale or trade-in.
If you want to know about this truck, READ BELOW, don't just look at the few pictures I am allowed to post and ask me questions that are covered below!
The stereo in the pics does not come with it. It will have the factory working am/fm cassette put back in. The lower plow mount and joystick/wiring does not come with it either.
This is my very reliable '94 S10. It was purchased new by my Step Father, then I bought it in '06 with 196k miles. The truck now has 290,300 and is going up daily at a rate of 85 miles a day, or more. This truck is in exceptional shape for being a nearly 20yr old Michigan truck. I would, and do drive this truck ANYWHERE without a concern as does my wife and daughter. I would gladly keep this truck but the wife is tired of me stealing her Tahoe all weekend long to trailer my drag car so it's time for me to step up to a full size.
BASICS;
4.3L High Output 195 Horsepower Vortec CPI engine. Runs great, just got new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor within the last month. Valve seals (have new ones just never put in), and or guides are worn so it smokes at start-up and has done this for several years, yet it still doesn't consume hardly any oil in 3000 miles between oil changes. Has 40lbs oil pressure going down the road and about 25lbs at idle. Service Engine Soon light comes on after engine is up to temp and cruise control is set due to the EGR valve being unhooked because of an internal short which blows fuses. I can hook up a scanner to prove this is the only reason the light comes on. I've had the EGR unhooked for several years in this fashion without issue other than staring at the SES light. In the summer the truck gets 20-21MPG and on the junk winter blend gets 17-18MPG routinely on my 85 mile/day commute.
4L60E 4spd Automatic Transmission. Works great, doesn't slip, shifts as it should with no problems.
Transfer Case/4wd. Manual floor mounted selector, 4 HI and 4 LO work as they should with no problems.
Tires. 31x10.50/15 Goodyear Wranglers with tons of tread left.
Chassis. I just put a Moog problem solver pitman arm on the truck and it still could use an alignment. A few years ago I also put a Moog problem solver idler arm on it, and I want to say in '07 the front steering components were replaced; ball joints, tie rod ends, and tie rods. I also just put in a new transmission mount and torsion bar mount. The rear springs have a Pro-Comp "add-a-leaf" in them so it doesn't squat when you put a measly 100#s in the box. Rear axle pinion seal has a small leak. The gas tank was replaced with a lifetime warranted Gas Tank Renu tank in '07. There is a trailer hitch and wiring on the truck and I have towed my car trailer with car on it, and one time even our old 25' travel trailer 30 miles (not recommended). The truck also got a new radiator this spring, or last fall as well as new rear brake drums/shoes around the same time. I have receipts for mostly everything I have put into this truck over the course of my ownership. The ABS module is unhooked and has been since my Step Dad owned it and nearly rear ended someone with it hooked up.
Body. Box, tailgate, front d-side fender, grill, and rocker panels were replaced in 2009 after hitting a deer, that is also when it was prepped, sealed, and repainted by myself so there are imperfections in the paint ie; runs, and orange peel. Cab corners were "repaired" in '06 but as you can see they are gone again. The hood has a spot where a chemical soaked rag was layed on it shortly after it was painted :-{ can be seen in one of the pics. There are also the normal scratches/gouges, dents, and surface rust as seen in the pics.
Interior. There is one nickel size hole in the driver's seat and that is it for the seats other than stains. The carpet is very stained from hauling parts, and kids over the course of nearly 20yrs. The headliner is in good shape without any drooping. One of the hinges on the glovebox is broken but it still shuts and latches as if nothing is wrong. The cup holder between the front seats no longer attaches to the mount as it should so I have a glove stuffed under it to keep it up. The plastic pcs on the outside of the jumper seats are cracked. The backrest adjustment knob is broken off of the driver's seat. The heater blower motor only works on low or full high, if placed in the middle settings smoke WILL come out of the dashboard. I believe it needs a new resistor but I didn't care to fix it as high and low worked just fine for me all winter long.
Air Conditioning used to work very well but the front seal on the compressor leaked out all the charge so it would need a new compressor to have working AC. Since up until this year the truck was solely my winter driver I didn't care about having working AC.
The truck runs and drives good, and is very dependable as previously stated. In my opinion it rides rather stiff as a truck should. At the moment there is nothing that HAS to be done to drive it routinely as I am currently doing so daily and did all winter long, and all the winters prior. However as stated it could use an alignment since the new pitman arm so you don't destroy those expensive tires, and the exhaust pipe at the muffler rotted out and dropped and I have only tacked it back into place for now so it has a "tone" to it but is not overly noisy by any means. Most likely I will take care of this prior to the sale anyhow.
After Thoughts. There is a small chip on the passenger side of the windshield. The truck also has a working BullDog Remote Starter. Truck has a 3.42 gear ratio.
I have gobs more pictures than eBay allows me to post here, and much more history/info I could add so message me with any direct concerns or questions for things I may have missed or you would like cleared up. Also feel free to come and look at it in person. I plan on having the truck sitting across from the Midway Market on M-21 just east of M-13 in Lennon over the Holiday weekend but call to be sure. To view, or discuss it other than when it's out there call; 989-525-three two five six

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
