Lt Crew Pickup 5.3l V8 K 1500 4 Wheel Drive With Snug Top Shell on 2040-cars
Higbee, Missouri, United States

We affectionatlely named this vehicle "Arlo". He has been a wonderful truck and we have had no trouble with him EXCEPT FOR ONE MAJOR THING. He was burning a quart of oil every 1200 miles! GM has known about this "Oil consumption issue" on their 07 and 08 5.3L engines for a long time and has said that an oil consumption rate of one quart per 2500 miles was "NORMAL"! Here's the GOOD NEWS: CROWN CHEVROLET IN REDDING, CA. (Purchased there) REPLACED ARLO'S ENGINE (LONG BLOCK REPLACED AT 88796 miles ) BECAUSE WE BOUGHT A TOP OF THE LINE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT IS TRANSFERRABLE AND GOOD UNTIL 105,262 MILES. I am a 60 year old careful driver and I have always driven Arlo carefully and broke in the new engine exactly as instructed. This engine burns no oil. If you are serious about buying a GM Truck with the factory installed 5.3L engine (07-08),do yourself a favor and GOOGLE: Chevy Avalanche Oil Consumption. This will partially explain why there are so many of these vehicles for sale. Arlo is in great condition and we are letting him go because we are about to build a new home on our 50 acre land and we don't want to beat him up driving on rough roads through brush and trees carrying construction stuff. We will be buying a beater truck for this purpose. We have owned Arlo since Sept. 2012. We are the 4th owner. I believe that it has transferred owners so many times because of the oil consumption issue. We bought a tent trailer last year and had the electric brake controller installed, so your ready to go for towing. I think the best investment we made for Arlo, though, was the SNUG TOP SHELL for him. As you know, the Chevy Avalanche is one of the most versatile vehicles ever made. Add a water tight shell to it ( $3500. new) and it almost doubles in the versatility department. If for no other reason, it keeps the tonnau covers looking new! We can possibly deliver this vehicle to you if you live in the Northwest part of the US. We are going back to Northern California from Missouri for the summer and we can tow our Prius behind it to your house on our way.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
