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

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

Leno drives Ringbrothers' latest, 1966 Chevy Chevelle Recoil
Tue, Mar 3 2015Jay Leno has been checking out quite a few older rides in his garage as of late, but has mixed things up a little this week. Ringbrothers took home an award at the 2014 SEMA Show for the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle it named Recoil, and now the car has proven it can do more than just look good on Jay Leno's Garage. While the latest guest might look vintage, underneath those classic lines is a thoroughly modern muscle car sporting a claimed 980 horsepower. The heart of this beast is a supercharged LS7 V8 from Wegner Motorsports and a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox. Even with so much power, it can still run on 91-octane pump gas, and when Jay gets on the throttle the result is a wall of sound from the wailing supercharger. Despite the muscle, the Recoil doesn't really scream about its performance aesthetically. The color is a surprisingly plain beige, but the carbon fiber touches and side exhaust certainly indicate that there's something special here. The owner's sole request for the car was to include metal seats, and Ringbrothers provided them with a few bits of leather offering a touch of comfort. After checking the Recoil out from stem to stern, Leno finally gets behind the wheel and treats our ears to pull after pull from that big, supercharged V8.

Leak reveals GM's 2017 heavy duty diesel trucks to get 910 lb-ft of torque [UPDATE]
Tue, Sep 27 2016UPDATE: Chevrolet officially announced specs for the 2017 Silverado HD and the rumors were true. The truck's new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 puts out 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet says the new motor produces 19 percent more torque and 12 percent more horsepower, while producing 35 percent fewer emissions. Overall, the new engine is a big improvement over the current motor, which generates 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque. According to Truck Trend, GM's newest heavy duty pickup trucks will pick up quite a bit more power and torque. The publication spotted a recent GM Powertrain ordering catalog that had the engine specs for the 2017 model year and managed to get some screenshots before the catalog was taken down, and they can be viewed here. The screenshots revealed that the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 powering the Silverado and Sierra heavy duty models will boast 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial gain over the current models' 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, and as Truck Trend points out, it exceeds the Ford Super Duty line's horsepower output of 440, but comes short of the 925 lb-ft rating. Truck Trend credits part of this output gain to the new intake system GM will introduce on the 2017 heavy duties. The intake gets 60 percent of its air from a scoop on the hood, with the other 40 percent coming from behind one of the front fenders. GM doesn't reveal horsepower figures in the press release about the scoop, but it does say the cooler air helps with maintaining the engine's output, and that the scoop does produce a ram-air affect, providing more air at speed. As we know, more air plus more fuel equals more power, but there's likely more to the power increase in this engine than only the intake.
