Manorville, New York, United States

 This is a 92 S-10 with a GM Ramjet 350 crate motor, 5 speed stick, Posi Rear, Air Ride Suspension, A/C, etc....  It is a previous show truck, that has a lot of money spent on it. Excuse the long description, but i want you to know what you are buying.  Even if you were to just use the frame, suspension, and drive train, to make a street rod, it is worth the asking price. A lot of street rods are being built on S-10 chassis's. Some companies are building bodies to fit directly on a S-10 chassis.  Such as Superior glass works.  They are building 37-38 Chevy Cabriolet and Sedan delivery bodies that are a direct fit.  Check out the superiorglassworks website.  Also see the last picture.
I bought this truck in New Hampshire almost a year ago.  My plan was to paint it a solid color and make it a cruise night, nice day driver vehicle. Time constraints and needing money for home improvements, meant I never got to it.  This isn't my only project vehicle.  I am selling the truck as I got it.  I  have all the New Hampshire paperwork for the truck.  I never registered it in NY.
 I have a carfax for the truck.  Yes the truck has a lot of miles on the carfax. 255,000  But the truck has been completely rebuilt.  This truck was chosen because it  was a clean, accident free, rust free, Texas truck. The truck went from Texas to New Hamshire in 2005. The GM ramjet 350 crate motor didn't come out until 2006.  The truck hasn't had that many miles put on it since the drive train, motor, suspension, etc... was replaced. Over 90% of the mileage was put on it in Texas, when it was a stock truck.

Engine:   GM Ram Jet 350 Crate Motor  listed for $5834.97 in the Summit Catalog.  It puts out 350 hp at 5200 rpm and 400 ft/lbs torque at 3500 rpm. A Ramjet 350 service manual is included.

Body:     Rust free, dent free, except for the damage to the hood and roof from the hood flying  up on previous owner. Shaved door handles. The poppers don't work with the remote.  They probably need to be replaced. Because it was a Texas truck, the rockers and floors are spotless (see pictures)    There are a few paint chips around the doors.  Passenger side mirror is cracked. The back wall of the cab was modified to fit a sub woofer and amp.  The front wall of the bed was cut out and re-welded in on a slant to clear the cab wall modifications. (see pics)  The rear roll pan is welded in and the license plate drops down with an electric motor. The tailgate handle is shaved and flipped to the inside of the tailgate. ( I have a set of clean stock doors available at extra cost if you want them )

Audio:     It has an Alpine CDA-9883 MP3/WMA/AAC receiver and CD player in the dash.  It has two speakers in the kick panels.  The back wall of the cab had two square holes cut in it. (see pics)  Two metal boxes, were welded in, to house the amplifier and sub woofer.  (The sub woofer was missing when I bought the truck.)  The amplifier is an Alpine V/12. The antenna hole was shaved on the fender and the antenna is above the rear view mirror on the windshield.

Exhaust:  It has stainless exhaust from the headers back. (see pics) There are two pipes running from the headers to the cats. Then two cats running in to one large muffler.  Then there are two pipes exiting the muffler than come out in front of the passenger side rear wheel.  The headers are Headmans.  They are uncoated, but are solid with just surface rust.

Trans and Rear:  It's a  Borg Warner 5 speed. I'm not sure which exact model. The rear is a posi.  The drive shaft spins about 3 1/2 rotations for one full rotation of the wheel. Which would work out to be a 3:50 ratio. That's just an approximation. Not 100% accurate.

Interior:  Nice shape.  Tilt steering column. Headliner is good.  Door panels good. Power windows.  Bench seat good.  Dash pad no cracks.  It's a comfortable truck.  I'm 6'5" and fit comfortably with the seat all the way back and the wheel tilted up.

Wheels and Tires :  20 inch Boss wheels and 245/35 ZR20 95W Toyo Proxes 4 tires with good tread.  Since I'm over 50 these wheels didn't appeal to me.  I have a 17" set of American Racing Salt Flat rims and tires I was going to use.  They are available at an extra cost.

Suspension:  A lot of money spent here.  Complete suspension replacement with tubular front upper + lower control arms. Dropped spindles.  4 link rear suspension. It's a Ride Tech system.    The front lower control arms are $600. Uppers are $400. Spindles $300. Four link rear suspension $1200. Shock wave shocks at least $700 a pair, depending on options.  It looks like it has the $1000 analog 4 way  air control system.  The other systems available are more expensive. (I'm not 100% sure, this is the first air ride vehicle I have owned) There is a leak somewhere on the front suspension.  Both front shocks leak down in about a 1/2 hour. i would think it would have to be a line or a valve, not a shock, because both sides go down, not one.  The rear shocks stay up for days.  If you wanted to run this truck with regular coil/leaf lowered suspension, you could sell all this off and recoup some of your investment. Check out the ridetech website and price these parts out.  Also see the picture of the ridetech website.  $5000 worth of parts.

Glass:  All glass is good.  New windshield. Sliding back window.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General 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.
