1995 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado Extended Cab Pickup 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Union Grove, Wisconsin, United States
The Pumpkin Truck. I named the
truck that because when I brought it home in October of 2003, it leaked air so
bad, that it shortly was sitting on the garage floor looking like, a giant
pumpkin. This is a
1995 Chevy C1500 that is a lot of fun to drive.
84,000 original miles. No rust. Stored
winters. Dependable. I have had it to Nebraska, Mississippi,
Georgia. Decent fuel mileage; 13 city,
17 highway. I bought it at 68,000. Motor has approx. 10,000 mi. Body
mods: Approx. $15,000
* Note: A
body drop is where the entire body, front to back, is tucked over the frame by
cutting out the floor and all body/bumper mounts; moving them up, and
re-welding the works. Interior
mods: Approx. $2,600
Chassis
mods: Approx. $7,600
Engine
Mods: Approx. $10,500
* Accel DFI
included a 1000cfm throttle body, single plane intake, sequential port
injection, 8 injectors, rails, fuel pump, ECM (Engine Control Module),
sequential distributor, coil and spark control, electric fuel pump. With a bigger cam and injectors, the
motor will make 500hp. Cost of purchasing the truck: $18,000 So, the cost of the truck is almost
offset by the body mods. I have over $40K invested. Nothing for my labor/time. Will consider trade for a late model
4X4 pickup. See more at www.HillJean.com Enjoy! |

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
