Looks like it may be time to sell my baby. Hate to do it as I have so many things left I would like to do with it but I need to replace the engine in my diesel Suburban and I just don't have the funds to do it right without selling the S10. I will try and describe everything to the best of my memory and be as accurate as possible.Bought it back in December 2010 after looking for over a year for the right truck. It was already lowered with the Belltech package and some paintwork obviously performed, but overall a nice looking truck. It had a New England Patriots airbrushed football player on the hood which required stripping and repainting the first week. It also had gloss black Redrum wheels (don't remember the style name) that were also removed. It came with an Audiovox Prestige alarm system with remote start. It also had aftermarket power windows which I have not done anything with as they have always worked ok. The tailgate handle was relocated to inside the bed. And the Magnaflow exhaust was also already installed. I believe it had somewhere in the neighborhood of 80K miles if I remember correctly.Since then it has been my main daily driver and I have made the following changes:K&N Cold Air IntakeBlazer Front BrakesBelltech Blazer drop spindlesBlazer disc brake rear end (3.42)Snugtop hard tonneau cover (used - painted to match with new locks installed)GM roll panHidden hitch with flip down plate20X8.5 KMC Novas with Vogue 245/40/20 Signature "V" tiresHID'sClear tail lights with yellow film (LED bulbs)LED turn signal bulbs with flasher mod performedBucket seats with center console (seat heater on driver's side)Long overhead console with outside temp/compass feature (not finished)Pioneer AVIC Navigation head unit with backup cameraAll windows tinted with LLumar film (50% on windshield)BedrugRecent repairs/maintenance include intake manifold resealed, driveshaft balanced and carrier bearing replaced, new coolant hoses. Still needs rear main seal replaced and tie rod ends.

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]

Tue, Apr 1 2014

UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
