2001 Chevrolet S-10 (4cyl Ext Cab) on 2040-cars
Madison, Indiana, United States
I have owned this truck since 2004 and have driven it daily ever since. It is very dependable and has never left me stranded. I honestly hate to sell it. It is a very drivable/workable truck and I recently purchased a new car, so can't keep both. I am also selling my home and moving closer to work, and the truck can't go. I bought the truck with 43,000 miles on it and I now have 202,400. I have changed the oil myself every 4000 miles and personally lubed the front end every 5k miles. The interior is usually detailed every summer, and I think the care shows when you open the doors compared to most trucks this age. The interior is clean, (non-smoking) with no tears in the carpet or seats. The dash still shines very nicely and is not warped. 5 speed with cruise control works great. The truck will need new tires, and as I said a few other "light" mechanical repairs. (A/C charge, maybe ball joint). The truck could use a tune up, and I have 4 new spark plugs that go with the truck. The GM factory bedliner is also in good shape, and the truck is very rust free. I removed the front bumper however due to faulty factory paint primer. (I have the front spoiler that mounts under the bumper, and bumpers are fairly cheap. The truck is very drivable as is, and I use it every day to commute to work 130 mile round trip. I would drive this truck coast to coast as is without worry. Heater works extremely well in the winter. I have also never pulled a trailer with this truck.
*Exterior/cosmetic issues: there is a 2 inch long scratch on the front left fender, slight 2 inch scratch/light ding in the hood up near the windshield washer spout on drivers side. Antenna is bent back slightly. I removed the interior rear view mirror as I was going to replace the windshield. Rear sliding window will need replaced. There is also a claw mark near the back drivers side tail light going 6 inches or so down the truck. (Very light) A Grizzly bear took a swipe at my truck with its paw. (true story) Tailgate straps need replaced. Any questions about condition, please feel free to ask as I have tried to state condition as best as possible. I reserve the right to end auction early, as it is for sale locally in Madison Indiana, and Louisville Kentucky. I will try to post additional photos soon. Payment method: must include a $500 (non-refundable) deposit via PayPal at close of auction within 48 hours. Balance can be paid by cash, or bank certified check in person. Title transfer and payment can be made at my local bank. Will deliver within 100 miles free of charge. Thank you for looking, and happy bidding!

GM faces possible class action lawsuit over 8-speed transmission
Thu, Apr 25 2019General Motors has been hit with a class-action lawsuit from owners who allege the eight-speed automatic transmission found in several rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC models between the 2015 and 2019 model years has a defect that causes the vehicles to hesitate and jerk when accelerating or slowing down. The lawsuit was posted to ClassAction.org and spotted by GM Authority. Problems with GM's Hydra-Matic 8L90 and 8L45 transmissions have been well-documented on Internet forums and via complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with many reporting damage to their vehicles. The lawsuit was first filed in December in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida but appears to have been transferred recently to New York. Autoblog sought comment from Theodore Leopold, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs. "These transmissions have a common defect," the complaint reads. "Drivers attempting to accelerate or decelerate their cars feel a hesitation, followed by a significant shake, shudder, jerk, clunk, or 'hard shift' when the vehicle's automatic transmission changes gears." The problem also occurs when the vehicles accelerate in a single gear, without shifting, the plaintiffs allege. "Drivers have reported that the shift is sometimes so violent, they feel as though they have been hit by another vehicle." The problem is believed to center on the transmission, torque converter or both. The complaint says it causes undue friction, causing hydraulic systems and gears to function improperly and sometimes leaves metal shavings throughout the transmission, leading to costly repairs and replacement of parts or the entire transmission. It says GM has known about the problems since shortly after it introduced the transmissions, and has issued 13 technical service bulletins, none of which have resolved the problem. GM declined to comment on the lawsuit. The plaintiffs say GM should have warned consumers about the issues and covered repairs under each vehicle's three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. They're seeking statewide classes in at least six states: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma and Texas.
IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults
