This truck is my 5th custom build. I found it on eBay in 2008 in Atlanta, GA. The truck was factory and very clean with 200,000 miles so I bought it for $2500. I've invested more than $14,000 in the project and it was well worth to me. I have a little experience building customs, a 1976 and 1981 C-10, 1977 Corvette, 1994 Yukon GT. In February 2009 a 350 crate motor was installed with all new engine accessories including AC. This was followed by a complete Bell-Tech suspension spindles, shackles, shocks, springs and hangers. Empire Motorsport in supplied the billet wipers, steps, dash, upper and lower, air vents, pedals and door trim. Ron's Custom Detail in Las Vegas for the billet speaker covers in the doors. Mahogany and billet Grant steering wheel. Superior Custom in GA rose wood trim.

The seats are burgundy and gray leather. Doors burgundy leather and gray micro suede. Headliner, visors and 2 sub boxes are covered in gray micro suede. The exterior is a combination of quality parts: AIM Industries Phantom grill, Trenz steel bumper, Street Scene Mirrors, Check Mate bedcover, Stylin Truck rear wing, Sir Michaels steel roll pan (molded in), Bed Rug and full size chrome spare. It rolls on 22" U2 wheels and 22" Lexani tires.

This truck rides very smooth and corners great. You can burn rubber with ease and go over 100 mph and feel like you are only doing 70 mph. I've you are looking for a detailed custom truck build with quality parts and workmanship, this is it. This truck has only 5,700 miles on the crate motor and runs like new. I have no time for scammers or dreamers. I done a lot of research on this site and others before re-listing my truck and I do not believe you will find a better truck for the price and quality of this one. The only vehicle I will consider for trade is a 2002 to 2006 Yukon Denali with a 6.0 L, leather and under 100,000 miles.

This is last time this truck will be listed. Good Luck bidders.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
