Monte Carlo fans rejoice, we've found one of the most perfectly preserved 1985 SS coupes available anywhere. Representing the last of GM's rear-wheel-drive luxury/muscle cars, this amazing survivor has had just two owners and shows just 18,778 original miles. It'll be hard to find a nicer one anywhere at any price. After GM killed the Caprice 2-door, the Monte Carlo was the last of the full-sized coupes, and 1985 was a very good year, with upgraded handling and an overdrive transmission. Enduring because of its NASCAR reputation and with a handsome, angular look, this Monte Carlo SS coupe represents a future collectable that's a lot of fun to own and drive. The original black paint is wonderfully well preserved, showing only very minor signs of use and appears to be defying its age. Paint quality is surprisingly good given GM's quality control issues of the period, and this sinister black Monte looks smooth and bright, with the best color match between the various components we've ever seen. The SS package added a modest ground-effects package with deck lid spoiler, blacked-out trim, and bright red tape stripes and SS emblems, all of which give it a sporty look. Red fabric was a popular choice in the SS, and provides a wonderful contrast to the black exterior and works with GM's formal styling. The buckets are modestly bolstered, but remain in outstanding condition, with no wear or damage to the fabric seating surfaces, and they're still supportive and comfortable. A center console gives the SS a performance look inside, an image enhanced by the full array of round gauges in the standard instrument panel. This SS is loaded with features, including A/C, power windows, cruise control, a tilt wheel, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, all of which work to remind you of the Monte Carlo's luxury car origins. A factory AM/FM/cassette stereo remains just below the climate controls and has that warm sound that characterized the GM/Delco systems of the time without the complexity of all those buttons that came later. In back, the massive trunk looks like new and still carries the original space-saver spare and jack assembly. All Monte Carlo SS models were equipped with Chevy's reliable and torquey 305 cubic inch V8, which was rated at 180 horsepower thanks to a 4-barrel carburetor. As a small-block Chevy, modifications and performance parts are insanely easy to find and install, so it's always amazing when we discover an all-original survivor like this with almost all of its original equipment 100% intact. From the stock air cleaner and intake hose to the original carburetor and cast iron exhaust manifolds, this car has never been tinkered with or abused, so you can buy with confidence. Heck, there's still a catalytic converter under there, so no worries registering it anywhere in the country. A 4-speed automatic was the only transmission available in the SS and a set of 3.42 gears were fitted out back to give it impressive acceleration and easy cruising. Monte Carlos like this are sure-fire future collectables, and those at the top of the charts will be low-mileage survivors like this.

2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled for steering issues

Thu, Sep 13 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co is recalling more than 1 million pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States due to issues with a temporary loss of power steering, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The recall is for 2015 models. They are: the Chevy Silverado 1500, Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade. The problem may cause difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash, the auto safety regulator said in a document dated Sept. 12. The document did not highlight any reports of accidents and injuries, because of the power steering issue. GM dealers will update the power steering module software, free of charge for owners of the affected vehicles. In 2014, the No.1 U.S. automaker had recalled nearly 800,000 pickup trucks worldwide because of the same problem. GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Related Video:

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
