1996 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 4wd Diesel on 2040-cars
Wartrace, Tennessee, United States
|
Bought this a while back, with the intention of slowly rebuilding it, and having a fantastic farm truck for the rest of my life. Fits my family of seven nicely (third row seat), as we just took it to Florida on beach trip. No time anymore and I already have more than I intended to invest. The cosmetic wear and tear is typical, and really not bad for the car. The 6.5L diesel engine starts and pulls strong, and even last winter - it cranked right up without having to plug it in. The transmission pulls strong and shifts very smooth (these were very good transmissions). The 4WD works great. Oils have been changed, and the transmission was flushed and changed every ~30,000 miles. Test drive and inspection will prove this out.
The things I have done/ new components installed.: New PMD (fuel pump driver) and new fuel pump. I properly relocated the PMD per spec. The one thing that was a real issue was GM put the PMD on the engine, and it overheated it often to an early death. GM provided a kit to move it, and I bought a new one and relocated it per spec. New Michelin Tires (only 1000 miles on them). New Starter. Two New Batteries. New Brake Job all around. New Fuel pump. New Fan and alternator belt. New water pump/hoses. New Fuel Pump. Both front wheel bearing replaced, repacked. I think the alternator had been replaced prior, as it looked very new when I got it (and it kicks out a 14.2v) but don't know for sure. New A/C compressor, condensor, and evaporator core. Issues: The A/C has bloody driven me nuts. I have put about $1,100 into new parts and yet, it blows very cold up front but not in the rear (oh, it is missing the rear controls knobs, for passengers to set to their liking). Ebay has them for a 20-40 bucks, just never got around to it. Also, by the end of 2-3 months, it needs a recharge. I finally sucked it up and took it in to see a specialist. He said there was a check valve or ? wherein the coolant must pass. He thinks it is clogged, and the rear condenser may need to be replaced. Cost to fix this, ~ $300 - $600. I think, but I do not know, that this is where the small leak is. If You don't have passengers, no worries - but You still have to charge it up. Me? I want it right and I wish I had started there before i dumped so much money into it. These are great machines. If i have left out anything that is important, please just ask. Thanks for looking. |

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
