BODYWORK:  the frame off bodywork was completed less than one year ago. There is absolutely no rust on this vehicle whatsoever. Entire body and frame has been rhino lined.  There are a couple of very small, less than 1 cm chips near where the side mirrors are mounted, no metal is showing. Pictures can be sent upon request.  There is a small crack in the fiberglass on the inside of the rear hatch window.  Again the picture can be sent upon request.

INTERIOR:  carpet and headliner are brand-new, no flaws.  Seats are original, but no flaws no cuts no stains, no damage.  Digital heating and air condition system is new and functioning properly.  All electronics including interior and exterior lighting work properly no damage no problems recently restored, LED lighting in and out except on Gauges.  Leather rear panels are new without damage.  The entire top of the vehicle is removable if you want to drive without the top on, or there is a ragtop sunroof that can be pulled back. Sunroof is excellent and enjoyable but occasionally leaks if there's a heavy rain.  A full custom rollbar has been installed and welded to the frame with Padding, this was done during the frame off rest.  windows are manual and work like new

SOUND SYSTEM:  the sound system is insane,  including two 12s in the back with Kenwood amps and custom box, see pictures, Sony deck including full Bluetooth capability and USB conductivity.  A total of 10 speakers, 1000 W, remote control, and DVD screen for the second seat but not connected.  Also included is power door locks and an alarm with key fob control.  

DRIVETRAIN/BREAKS/SUSPENSION : the drivetrain has about 5000 miles on it. It is a Chevy small block V8 350 with a vortex supercharger. Transmission and gears recently rebuilt.  truck starts first time on a cold morning, and Cruises comfortably at 80 mph on the freeway. I drive to work everyday:) power steering functioning properly no problems, front disc brakes and rear drum brakes about 80% new.  Chrome Rancho shocks are about four or five years old but have limited miles on them. Truck has an 8 inch skyjacker smooth ride lift.  It does not ride tight or bouncy all it's actually very smooth and soft ride.  Tires are 37.5 inch Toyo off-road tires with about 25 to 30% used, 70% left.  New power master cylinder with all new stainless steel lines.

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber

Thu, Dec 7 2017

It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe

Fri, Feb 12 2016

The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan.

Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.
