BOUGHT THIS TAHOE FROM LOCAL SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO REPLACE MY WIFE'S JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.  WE HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 3 GROWING LIKE WEEDS.  I WAS GOING TO FIX THIS UP AS A DAILY DRIVER FOR HER TO GIVE HER AND THE GIRLS MORE ROOM.  MY WIFE LIKES THE TAHOE BUT HAS DECIDED SHE WOULD LIKE A SUBURBAN INSTEAD, SO THE TAHOE MUST GO!


LET'S START WITH THE THINGS I KNOW THIS CAR NEEDS:

RIGHT FRONT FENDER HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK SLIGHTLY AND MAKES CONTACT WITH THE FRONT DOOR WHEN OPENING.  HAD A LOCAL BODY SHOP LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID THE EASIEST THING TO DO IS REPLACE THE FENDER WITH A USED FACTORY REPLACEMENT.  GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS DECALS FROM SHERIFF'S OFFICE USE, SO THIS FENDER WONT NEED TO HAVE THE DECALS REMOVED!


CHECK ENGINE LAMP IS ON WITH A CODE FOR THE RIGHT BANK KNOCK SENSOR.  I WOULD RECOMMEND REPLACING BOTH SENSORS SINCE THE OTHER SIDE WILL SURELY FAIL AS SOON AS THE TRUCKS BACK TOGETHER.  SENSORS ARE LOCATED UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD SO WILL TAKE ABOUT A DAYS WORTH OF WORK AND APPROX $160 IN PARTS.


HAS THE NOTORIOUS KNOCK FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, INDICATING AN UPDATED INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS DUE.  SHAFT TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR TO REPLACE AND ARE READILY AVAILABLE ON EBAY FOR AROUND $60.00


REAR A/C CONTROL DOOR ACTUATOR IS NOT WORKING SO REAR A/C ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR.  COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS AND REPLACEMENT REQUIRES REMOVAL OF RIGHT REAR INTERIOR PLASTIC.  ABOUT A 1 HOUR JOB.

FINALLY, THE DASH WARNING CENTER SHOWS THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM NEEDS SERVICE.  THIS IS BECAUSE THESE WHEELS DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT VALVE STEMS TO WORK WITH THIS SYSTEM.  ACCORDING TO THE TIRE SHOP IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS TO NOT USE THE TIRE WARNING SYSTEM AS IT CAN FALSELY IDENTIFY NON EXISTING CONCERNS FOR THE OFFICER DRIVING.  SYSTEM CAN BE RECONNECTED BY SIMPLY HAVING THE CORRECT VALVE STEMS INSTALLED.


NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF:

VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A TRAIL READY BRAND FRONT BUMPER.  THIS THING WILL ALLOW YOU TO MOW OVER SMALL TREES AND OTHER OBSTACLES WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN!  BUMPER HAS MOUNT FOR WINCH AS WELL AS 6" OFF ROAD DRIVING LIGHTS.

HAD VEHICLE CHECKED OUT BY LOCAL SHOP AND THEY FOUND ALL FLUIDS APPEAR IN GOOD CONDITION AND FILTERS LOOK NEW.  THIS IS WHY MY OTHER CAR IS AN EX COP CAR, THEY MAINTAIN THEIR VEHICLES!!

I REPLACED THE HEATER BLOWER RESISTOR UNDER THE DASH AS THE FAN WAS ONLY BLOWING ON SETTINGS 1-4.  THIS IS ALSO A NOTORIOUS FAILURE ON THESE VEHICLES. FAN WORKS EXCELLENT NOW.

VEHICLE HAS VINYL FLOORING SO SPILLS AREN'T A CONCERN.  FRONT SEATS ARE CLOTH AND THE REAR SEAT IS VINYL.  VEHICLE WAS ORDERED THIS WAY AS IT WAS USED AS A SHERIFF'S VEHICLE.

VEHICLE HAS THE MORE RARE REAR BARN DOORS, INSTEAD OF THE LIFT GATE THAT MOST TAHOE'S SEEM TO HAVE.

VEHICLE IS SET UP FOR 2ND BATTERY OPTION.  HAS TRAY AND BATTERY CABLES IF NEW OWNER WANTS TO INSTALL.

PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO END OF AUCTION!

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
