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

$500 non-refundable deposit due within 24hrs of purchase made via paypal or cash in person. Remainder of balance due within 7 days in CASH! No Paypal. 

Sold "as-is" with no warranty expressed or implied, and NO RETURNS!

Chevy Malibu rolls over 10 million on the odo

Tue, Sep 1 2015

On the cusp on the introduction of the latest model, the Chevrolet Malibu is celebrating a major milestone with 10 million of them now on the road since the car's introduction 51 years ago. While not quite enough to rank among the best-selling vehicles of all time, the feat is impressive considering the name took over a decade off from the Chevy lineup in the '80s and '90s. The Malibu started life in 1964 as the top trim on Chevy's new, midsize model, which also included the 300 and Chevelle. Offered in a plethora of body styles, including a wagon and convertible, the Bowtie brand moved over 370,000 of them in the first year. By 1969, sales reached more than 503,000. However, the market for rear-wheel drive sedans eventually softened in the US, and the Malibu name was dropped in 1983. The moniker returned in front-wheel-drive form in 1997 and has been a part of the lineup again ever since. These days, the Malibu is obviously only available as a four-door, but the model is more efficient than ever. The larger, lighter 2016 example can get up to 37 miles per gallon highway with its 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or 47 mpg combined when the hybrid goes on sale next year. You can get a great look at the Malibu's changes from the original until now in the gallery above.

Chevrolet celebrated the sales achievement today for the global sedan in the United States, China and Korea, which collectively account for more than 90 percent of sales. The Malibu is sold in more than 25 markets around the world. "The Chevy Malibu joins an exclusive club of vehicles that have achieved this extraordinary milestone and we acknowledge it today by honoring the common thread linking every one produced: The customer," said Alan Batey, president, global Chevrolet. "Some people are buying their very first Malibu today and others may have driven a Malibu from a different generation as their first car. It is a car that has resonated with customers for more than half a century." Chevrolet's interaction with customers has evolved since the Malibu was introduced in 1964. Back then, an owner's manual and a personal relationship with the dealer defined conventional customer service.

Recharge Wrap-up: GM, LG Chevy Bolt collaboration, Honda Energy Star plants

Wed, Feb 3 2016

Green Car Reports details the relationship between GM and LG in the development and production of the Chevy Bolt. The unique relationship between the two companies began in 2008, and now sees LG producing a multitude of systems for the Bolt, many of which were designed by or with GM. LG's involvement in the Bolt has gone so deep as "defining what will this vehicle be, everything from how we are going to package it, what size it should be, what kind of performance it should have," according to Pam Fletcher, GM's Executive chief engineer for electrified vehicles. Forgoing the traditional automotive relationship for a more collaborative one doesn't just save money, but it also gives GM access to LG's suite of technologies and manufacturing capabilities.

The automaker's assembly plants in Marysville and East Liberty, Ohio have now earned Energy Star certification ten consecutive years. The Marysville plant added LED lighting, hydrogen-powered tow motors and forklifts, high efficiency HVAC and direct-fired water boilers. The East Liberty facility added new LED lighting and replaced a large water heater with a high-efficiency one. Honda's newest US plant, Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, installed LED lighting and used energy efficient features in its recent expansion. Honda also cites a culture of energy-mindedness – for every associate – for its success. "When everyone involved considers energy efficiency and how they can help the environment, results improve," says Karen Heyob, Honda's sustainability boss in North America. Read more from Honda. The student-led Associated Students of the University of Montana (ASUM) Transportation has ordered two Proterra electric buses. The 40-foot Catalyst Fast Charge buses will serve the campus, and will recharge with a semi-autonomous fast charger. "As part of our ongoing effort to innovate service, align with student advocacy and reduce our carbon footprint, we take great pride in our decision to go electric," says ASUM Office of Transportation Director Jordan Hess. "We hope this encourages – and challenges – other universities to seriously consider the economic and environmental benefits of zero-emission buses." Read more in the press release below.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.
