Chevy Heavy Half Ton 1975 4x4 Short Bed W/ Cap & Power Angle Plow on 2040-cars
Phillipsburg, New Jersey, United States
|
This is a 1975 truck with 1985 body. It runs great and has been 100% reliable for the 8+ years that I have owned it. The 7.5' Western power angle plow works perfectly, and the truck is equipped with plow lights. All FOUR drive settings (2WD high, 2WD low, 4WD high, 4WD low) work as they should and operate smoothly. There are two gas tanks (16 gallons each) with an in-cab switch to go between the two. The body is in nice shape but has rust in the usual places for a truck of it's age in the Northeast (rocker panels, far bottom edges of doors and in front of rear wheel wells). I've attempted to show all areas of rust in the listing photos. The cloth upholstered bench seat is in excellent shape, no tears or stains but some color-fading from the sun. Top of dash has some cracks as well as the original speaker holes, but the rest of the dash and instrument panel look really good. Door panels look good but show some wear along the top edge (can be seen in photos). Radio works good as does heat and A/C (converted to R-134A). Truck bed is in great shape and comes with a rubber bed mat. Sliding windows both at back of cab and front of cap. Fiberglass cap in great condition with opening side slide windows. Front tires have only several hundred miles on them, rear tires have approximately 80% tread. All gauges work, but the temp gauge reads high (vehicle has never overheated) due to, I believe, a bad sending unit. Throughout our ownership of the truck, it has been very well maintained and garaged. Buyer responsible for vehicle pickup at our northwest NJ home. Feel free to ask questions. Thanks for looking. |

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
