Red 1985 Chevy Silverado K10 4wd 4x4 Short Bed Very Nice on 2040-cars

This is a beautiful 1985 I bought it in early 2011 from the previous owner who had it for 15 years.  The Autocheck report shows this as a 2 owner, however this is not accurate, as the previous owner did not buy it new.  It had a Goodwrench 350 and Edelbrock carb already installed when I got it. It's had a partial restoration since I've owned it, it's been painted, color sanded and buffed, and had many new parts installed, including both fuel tanks and sending units, fuel selector valve and switch, Edelbrock Performer EPS intake,  master cylinder, brake booster, heater core, blower motor, billet grill,driver's side window motor, new door/window seals, new rear glass and seal, headliner, dash cap, door hinge pins and bushings and many other miscellaneous parts.  I added the BF Goodrich MTs and Mickey Thompson wheels.  I do have the original factory rally wheels, original bench seat (needs work), and the original Silverado fender trim.  The truck has never been lifted, and the steering and suspension is all very tight.  I was in the processing of changing the interior to black, and it still needs carpet and a seat cover (the later model bench seat is in decent condition, but has some stains and a tear in the driver's side that has been sewn up).  The lumbar support in the seats is connected and functional. I was also planning to do a spray-in bedliner.  As you can see in the pictures, the inside of the bed is very straight and rust free, this truck has mainly been used as a driver and not abused.

The issues that I'm aware of are: the cruise control does not work, the a/c works and still has R12 refrigerant in it, but the compressor is a little noisy.  There are a couple places in the paint where there is some slight color variance, and I believe this is due to a different color primer being used in these areas.  It doesn't show in the pictures, and I didn't see this for several days after I got it back from being painted, however I wanted to point it out.  There are also a lot of rock chips on the rocker panels that have been touched up, you can see this in one of the pictures.  The passenger side window motor is getting weak and will need to be replaced.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet 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.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
