This is a very nice driver. It is not show quality but would not take much more work to get it there if that's what you want. I built this truck to drive but life happens and I need to sell it. This truck has lots of custom body work done to it. All the handles have been shaved as well as cab seams and bed rails. Roll pan has been added in place of bumper and the rear step on the stepside has been shaved adding a nice clean look to the rear end of the truck. The bed has a nice spray in bed liner that matches the silver paint on the hood. Paint is an 8 of 10. There are a few blemishes that aren't noticeable unless you are right up on the truck. It could use some buffing in a few places but you can't tell unless you are right up on it. There is little if any orange peel and the truck will buff to a mirror finish. Inside and out this is a very clean truck that sits and drives nice and you will get many compliments going down the road. The Odometer shows 80,000 miles but that is NOT correct. I have no clue how many miles are on this truck. When I bought the truck, the speedometer wasn't working and I have no idea how long it was out. 

The engine (5.7 Vortec TBI) has less than 10,000 miles on it and runs great with plenty of power. The transmission (700r) shifts smooth and doesn't slip. The trans does have about 150,000 miles on it though so it probably wont be long before it will need some attention. The motor doesn't leak oil anywhere. The transmission does start to leak if it isn't driven in a while...once you drive it a bit it doesn't leak anymore. As it is now, I would drive it anywhere. In fact if you buy it, I will drive it to you for a small fee and a plane ticket home or I will meet you at the San Antonio International Airport. 

The interior is super clean. It has black Mercedes leather seats with a center console that folds up to make an additional seat. I had it set up to run my ipod/phone out of an amp but never got around to buying the amp. There are new speakers at all four corners and are wired and ready to go. At this point you could do whatever you like; all you need to do is hook up the speakers and there is plenty of wire. I put a rubber floor mat in it because I like to be able to just wipe down the floor. Under the mat is some nice sound deadening material which makes for quiet driving when the a/c is on. Yes, the A/C blows ice cold air!

This truck doesn't need a thing. There are some things I was going to work on to make it nicer. I was going to get the correct side marker/reflector lights for the grill. The ones in there now aren't the right ones and look bad once you notice them. The passenger side door control panel (the part that has the switches) pops out sometimes which is an easy fix...I just haven't done it as I'm missing some clips. I was also going to spray in some more U-Pol Raptor bedliner. It looks really good right now but there are a couple spots that I would like to hit again to make it perfect. When I sprayed the bed, I also sprayed under the hood which looks really nice. I was also going to run dual exhaust and tint the windows. The exhaust sounds really good right now and there isn't a thing wrong with it...not too loud or too quiet...but I like the look of duals so that was on the list. There is still some overspray on the back window. I was going to tape it off and repaint the moulding around the window ... I just didn't get it done. The back window is really the only thing that needs attention. To me it's just ugly and old looking since the factory paint is peeling off of it. Most people wouldn't even notice it...but it bugs me because I went to all the trouble filling the seams and the window takes away from the work that was done. 

I just had the A/C serviced by a certified mechanic and it blows ice cold. The compressor seams a bit loud to me but he says its normal for the older model trucks. 

Tires are brand new all the way around and the brakes were recently redone. 

The driver's door pops open with a viper alarm remote...the alarm works very well, too. The passenger door pops open with the factory lock/unlock switch on the driver's door. Yes, there is also a manual release if you get locked out. 

I have been as thorough as possible in this listing. I have done my best to describe this truck accurately and many of the "problems" I mentioned you probably wouldn't even notice. 

If you have any questions, feel free to call me. 830 928 0816. I have clear title in my name and will update this ad if something else comes to mind. 

This truck is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. The vehicle will not leave my house until the money is in my bank.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
