This is a great truck. It is 4x4, turbo diesel, dump truck with an 8ft power angle Meyer snow plow. This truck is 12,000 lb GVWR, and has no trouble hauling anything I have ever thrown at it.
I boxed in the stakebed for hauling. The top is hinged so that a front loader can load gravel straight in the top, and then it flips back to cover the top of the box. The truck was primarily used for hauling wood and wood chips cut up by the chipper it towed behind it.
The Good:
Dump Bed is PTO driven (not electric)
Starts and runs well.
Turbo Boost Gauge Installed on A Pillar
Exhaust system upgraded from the turbo back with Diamond Eye Exhaust
This truck can be loaded down and tow to capacity without getting hot (see also the bad)
Has a combination 2" Ball / Pintle Hitch
4X4 Engages properly
Braided Stainless Oil Cooler Lines
Remote Mounted PMD (Below Bumper)
Fluid Damper harmonic balancer
Installed 2 new batteries this winter
Complete new brake lines front an back. ABS Brakes function properly.
The plywood chip box can be unbolted from the stake body dump, and is painted inside and out with 3 coats of premium (Behr) outdoor paint. This is a couple hundred dollars worth of hardware, paint and wood.
Tool storage on the side of the box for rakes, shovel, broom and pitchfork (none of these included)
This chip box is perfect for working in yards, has no trouble passing under power lines to residential housing, but is big enough to hold lots of material.
Bed Size is 9 ft long x 7'6" wide with 4ft tall sides and a hinged top.
THE BAD:
Although the sheetmetal on the truck is good, just as it looks in the pictures, I did a fiberglass repair to the corner of the cab. This is shown in one of the pictures. The truck still looks good, and I was never embarrassed by it on a job site. The fiberglass work is solid & passes inspection, but it isn't pretty.
The back right tail light is zip tied back in place.
The plow is a huge 8 ft wide unit, and tall. It blocks a ton of air. It has no trouble under 45 MPH. Above that speed the starts to get hot with the plow on. It doesn't matter if it is 32 degrees or minus 32 degrees, above 45 plus a hill the temp will start moving higher. I don't know how high it will go, I have never let it boil over, but don't plan on cruising the freeway with the plow on this truck. If that is important to you, you could try a "Plow Flow Master" to allow the truck to go faster with the plow on it, or get a different truck ( or maybe a smaller plow). (see the good: this truck will not overheat on the hottest day of summer fully loaded down... unless you put the plow on the front).
Heater fan only works in the first 4 positions.
There is a seat cover on the bench seat, part of the drivers side is ripped out of the seat. It is not uncomfortable, but it is there.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
