I JUST MOVED BACK TO CHICAGO FROM FLORIDA IN JANUARY 2013. USED MY TRUCK TO HAUL A TRAILER TO GET ME BACK HERE. I NOW LONGER HAVE A NEED FOR SUCH A LARGE TRUCK. THIS TRUCK IS A BASE MODEL REGULAR CAB, 2WD, V6, AUTOMATIC, WHITE, AM/FM RADIO, RUBBER FLOORS, LONG BED.
I ADDED FACTORY CRUISE CONTROL, AFTERMARKET POWER WINDOWS AND A CLASS 4 HITCH. THIS TRUCK HAS 277,000 MILES ONLY BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS OWNER PUT A 3.73 REAR AXLE IN IT. THE ORIGINAL AXLE RATIO SHOULD BE 3.23 SO WITH THE 3.73 RATIO IN IT NOW THE MILEAGE IS HIGHER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS. I PURCHASED A POWER PROGRAMMER IN JANUARY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE SPEEDO WAS READING 10 MPH FASTER THAN THE ACTUAL SPEED OF THE TRUCK SO YOU CAN SEE HOW FAST THE MILEAGE WILL INCREASE. NOW THAT THIS IS OUT OF THE WAY HERE IS ALL THE WORK I DID TO IT TO PREPARE FOR THE TRIP BACK HOME. TRUCK GOT 14 MPG TOWING A 3000 LBS ENCLOSED TRAILER AND ~ 1000 LBS IN THE BED. NOT BAD AT ALL. I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK DAILY UP UNTIL A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. TITLE HAS BEEN CHANGED OVER TO AN ILLINOIS TITLE NOW AND IT IS IN MY HAND READY FOR A NEW OWNER. THIS IS A WORK TRUCK SO IT DOES HAVE MINOR DAMAGE AND DINGS. YOU WONT FIND A BETTER WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE.
I REPLACED THE FOLLOWING PARTS IN JANUARY:
CAP
ROTOR
PLUG WIRES
SERPENTINE BELT TENSIONER
E3 DIAMOND FIRE SPARK PLUGS
LEFT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED
REAR MAIN SEAL
OIL PAN GASKET
BOTH ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS
TRANSMISSION MOUNT
FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS
REAR BRAKE SHOES AND DRUMS
MOBILE 1 SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES
SYNTHETIC DEXTRON 5 TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE
TRANSGO SHIFT KIT INSTALLED
SYNTHETIC DIFFERENTIAL FLUID CHANGE
FLUSHED BRAKE FLUID
FLUSHED COOLING SYSTEM
FLUSHED POWER STEERING FLUID
INSTALLED CLASS 4 HITCH
INSTALLED OEM CRUISE CONTROL MODULE AND STALK
INSTALLED AFTERMARKET POWER WINDOWS
REPLACED STOCK 17" STEEL WHEELS WITH A SET OF GM 17" ALUMINUM WHEELS
INSTALLED USED MICHELIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCK TIRES OFF A DUALLY (TIRES ARE SLIGHTLY TALLER THAN STOCK TO COMPENSATE A LITTLE FOR THE 3.73 AXLE)
POWER PROGRAMMER (USED TO RECALIBRATE THE COMPUTER FOR THE 3.73 AXLE AND THE TALLER TIRES SO THE SPEEDO IS NOW ACCURATE )
SPRAY ON BEDLINER
I INSTALLED A LOUD FLOWMASTER MUFFLER TO GIVE IT SOME EXTRA POWER WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS TO GET HERE.
THERES NO SUCH THING AS A VEHICLE THAT DOESNT NEED WORK SO HERE IS WHAT I KNOW IT NEEDS: NOTHING MAJOR OR MECHANICAL IS WRONG WITH IT. TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVER GREAT.
AC CONTROL HEAD HAS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE (AC WILL CUT OUT WHEN IT FAILS. WHEN ITS WORKING AC BLOWS VERY COLD. CAN GET CHEAP ON EBAY)
HEADLINER NEEDS REPLACING
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE JUST FAILED ON ME (I REPLACE THE RPM GAUGE MOTOR. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE MOTOR STARTED TO FAIL. IT PEGS TO FULL OIL PRESSURE. A COMPLETE MOTOR KIT CAN BE PURCHASED ON EBAY FOR ~30.00 SHIPPED. IF YOU CAN SOLDER, YOU CAN INSTALL IT. IF YOU CANT, THERE ARE MANY CLUSTER REPAIR COMPANIES THAT CAN REBUILD THE COMPLETE CLUSTER FOR ~100.00)
SERPENTINE BELT IS DUE FOR REPLACEMENT

2016 Chevy Silverado unveiled in full at Texas State Fair
Thu, Sep 24 2015It's State Fair time down in the Lonestar State, which means a lot of things to a lot of Texans: rodeos, cook-offs, country music concerts, big belt buckles, and even bigger hats. But it also means new trucks. Ford used the occasion this year to roll out its new F-Series Super Duty pickups, but the Blue Oval won't have the show all to itself as Chevy is also on hand to reveal in full its latest updates to the Silverado. The Bowtie brand gave us our first glimpse at its updated 1500-series pickup back in July, but has now revealed the revised truck in full – and not just in Z71 spec, either. Buyers will be able to choose between WT, LS, LT, LTZ, and High Country trim levels – to say nothing of the various cab, box, and powertrain configurations. The top three get all-LED exterior lighting. And while the Z71 adopts the color-keyed trim we saw previously, other models like the LT, LTZ, and (to a lesser extent) the top-of-the-line High Country still bring the chrome for those who want it. Whichever the model, the new Silverado boasts a more muscular-looking front-end and a more sculpted hood. Inside, the new Silverado gets an optional MyLink system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. The revised truck also benefits from added safety technology and convenience features. Engine options include a 4.3-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 hp and 383 lb-ft, and a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft. The news when it comes to powertrains is that the eight-speed automatic launched last year on the larger V8 is now being offered on the smaller 5.3 as well. 2016 Silverado: The New Face of Strong 2016 Silverado designed to build on Chevrolet's truck momentum 2015-09-24 - Bolder, more muscular look reflects Silverado strength, dependability - Expanded use of 8-speed transmissions; additional safety technologies - Available support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto DALLAS – The new 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 brings muscular designs and new customer-focused technologies to the most dependable, longest-lasting family of full-size pickups on the road. The new Silverados make their public debut today at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas. "The new 2016 Silverado will build on the Chevy truck legacy of dependability," said Sandor Piszar, marketing director for Chevrolet trucks.
Since 2010, Chevy Volt has outsold Nissan Leaf by just two units
Tue, Mar 3 2015The first two plug-in vehicles from major automakers in the US were the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. Ever since they went on sale to much fanfare in late 2010, we've been tracking the monthly sales with great interest (and, of course, other green vehicle sales as well). After a big initial lead by the Volt – the Volt outsold the Leaf 23,461 to 9,819 in 2012 – the Leaf has been chugging along and outsold the Volt every month since November 2013. We knew that the cumulative totals would soon tip in favor of the Leaf, but for at least one more month, the Volt is going to be able to say its the most popular plug-in vehicle in the US. Overall, for all officially reported sales of the Leaf and the Volt, things are almost exactly tied. Since the vehicles went on sale in the end of 2010 until the end of February 2015, the Volt has sold 74,592 units and the Leaf has sold ... drumroll please ... 74,590 units. For February, Leaf sales totaled 1,198 units, a 17-percent drop from the 1,425 Leafs sold last February. Brendan Jones, Nissan's director of Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure, said in a statement that, "Tough winter weather in several key markets held EV sales back in February. As we head into spring, we look forward to seeing more dealership traffic so shoppers can experience firsthand the benefits of the all-electric Nissan Leaf." Of course, it was cold in the US last February, too, but we're sure that the nasty weather did indeed play a role last month. Things were even worse for the Chevy Volt, which dropped to just 693 copies sold, down 47 percent from the 1,210 sold last year. That's just barely enough for Chevy to keep talking about its plug-in sales leadership, but we expect the message to change once the March numbers come out next month. Related Video:
Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes
Sun, Nov 5 2017The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 – in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.
