I will be out of the state July 12-14 and the truck will not be available until after that if auction is allowed to end.
I also reserve the right to end this auction at ANY TIME (to include if the BIN is used without my knowledge) due to local sale or trade-in.
If you want to know about this truck, READ BELOW, don't just look at the few pictures I am allowed to post and ask me questions that are covered below!
The stereo in the pics does not come with it. It will have the factory working am/fm cassette put back in. The lower plow mount and joystick/wiring does not come with it either.
This is my very reliable '94 S10. It was purchased new by my Step Father, then I bought it in '06 with 196k miles. The truck now has 290,300 and is going up daily at a rate of 85 miles a day, or more. This truck is in exceptional shape for being a nearly 20yr old Michigan truck. I would, and do drive this truck ANYWHERE without a concern as does my wife and daughter. I would gladly keep this truck but the wife is tired of me stealing her Tahoe all weekend long to trailer my drag car so it's time for me to step up to a full size.
BASICS;
4.3L High Output 195 Horsepower Vortec CPI engine. Runs great, just got new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor within the last month. Valve seals (have new ones just never put in), and or guides are worn so it smokes at start-up and has done this for several years, yet it still doesn't consume hardly any oil in 3000 miles between oil changes. Has 40lbs oil pressure going down the road and about 25lbs at idle. Service Engine Soon light comes on after engine is up to temp and cruise control is set due to the EGR valve being unhooked because of an internal short which blows fuses. I can hook up a scanner to prove this is the only reason the light comes on. I've had the EGR unhooked for several years in this fashion without issue other than staring at the SES light. In the summer the truck gets 20-21MPG and on the junk winter blend gets 17-18MPG routinely on my 85 mile/day commute.
4L60E 4spd Automatic Transmission. Works great, doesn't slip, shifts as it should with no problems.
Transfer Case/4wd. Manual floor mounted selector, 4 HI and 4 LO work as they should with no problems.
Tires. 31x10.50/15 Goodyear Wranglers with tons of tread left.
Chassis. I just put a Moog problem solver pitman arm on the truck and it still could use an alignment. A few years ago I also put a Moog problem solver idler arm on it, and I want to say in '07 the front steering components were replaced; ball joints, tie rod ends, and tie rods. I also just put in a new transmission mount and torsion bar mount. The rear springs have a Pro-Comp "add-a-leaf" in them so it doesn't squat when you put a measly 100#s in the box. Rear axle pinion seal has a small leak. The gas tank was replaced with a lifetime warranted Gas Tank Renu tank in '07. There is a trailer hitch and wiring on the truck and I have towed my car trailer with car on it, and one time even our old 25' travel trailer 30 miles (not recommended). The truck also got a new radiator this spring, or last fall as well as new rear brake drums/shoes around the same time. I have receipts for mostly everything I have put into this truck over the course of my ownership. The ABS module is unhooked and has been since my Step Dad owned it and nearly rear ended someone with it hooked up.
Body. Box, tailgate, front d-side fender, grill, and rocker panels were replaced in 2009 after hitting a deer, that is also when it was prepped, sealed, and repainted by myself so there are imperfections in the paint ie; runs, and orange peel. Cab corners were "repaired" in '06 but as you can see they are gone again. The hood has a spot where a chemical soaked rag was layed on it shortly after it was painted :-{ can be seen in one of the pics. There are also the normal scratches/gouges, dents, and surface rust as seen in the pics.
Interior. There is one nickel size hole in the driver's seat and that is it for the seats other than stains. The carpet is very stained from hauling parts, and kids over the course of nearly 20yrs. The headliner is in good shape without any drooping. One of the hinges on the glovebox is broken but it still shuts and latches as if nothing is wrong. The cup holder between the front seats no longer attaches to the mount as it should so I have a glove stuffed under it to keep it up. The plastic pcs on the outside of the jumper seats are cracked. The backrest adjustment knob is broken off of the driver's seat. The heater blower motor only works on low or full high, if placed in the middle settings smoke WILL come out of the dashboard. I believe it needs a new resistor but I didn't care to fix it as high and low worked just fine for me all winter long.
Air Conditioning used to work very well but the front seal on the compressor leaked out all the charge so it would need a new compressor to have working AC. Since up until this year the truck was solely my winter driver I didn't care about having working AC.
The truck runs and drives good, and is very dependable as previously stated. In my opinion it rides rather stiff as a truck should. At the moment there is nothing that HAS to be done to drive it routinely as I am currently doing so daily and did all winter long, and all the winters prior. However as stated it could use an alignment since the new pitman arm so you don't destroy those expensive tires, and the exhaust pipe at the muffler rotted out and dropped and I have only tacked it back into place for now so it has a "tone" to it but is not overly noisy by any means. Most likely I will take care of this prior to the sale anyhow.
After Thoughts. There is a small chip on the passenger side of the windshield. The truck also has a working BullDog Remote Starter. Truck has a 3.42 gear ratio.
I have gobs more pictures than eBay allows me to post here, and much more history/info I could add so message me with any direct concerns or questions for things I may have missed or you would like cleared up. Also feel free to come and look at it in person. I plan on having the truck sitting across from the Midway Market on M-21 just east of M-13 in Lennon over the Holiday weekend but call to be sure. To view, or discuss it other than when it's out there call; 989-525-three two five six

Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.

Bikes, skis, kayaks... the Chevrolet Colorado GearOn is ready to accommodate all of them, thanks to a trip to the Bowtie's accessories catalog. The special edition Colorado features the basics of Chevy's GearOn accessories, including a bars package, bed divider and tie-down rings, which can be supplemented with other accessories to haul all manner of outdoor equipment. Beyond that, though, Chevy has fitted a few other items to lift up the Colorado's styling, including gloss-black 18-inch wheels, black Bowtie emblems, a body-color grille, off-road assist steps and front foglights. It's a tidy little update to the compact truck's still-fresh styling. Check it out in our full gallery of live images, direct from the Chicago Auto Show.

The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.
