Wrentham, Massachusetts, United States

Bought it on eBay and drove it up from Oklahoma in 2003. Completely rust free at the time, it now has one small hole behind each door and rust on the lower part of the driver's rocker panel, shown in photos. The cab is so tight it's easier to close the door if you open a window. 350 gas, 3-speed stick w/low (some would call it a 4-speed), dual 20-gallon tanks, dual exhaust that needs work, twin 10,000lb. Ramsey winches with 100 ft. of 3/8" cable on each; power tilt & telescoping boom with nylon sling, 6,000lb. wheel-lift, Force 4 XL-4000 light bar (guy I bought it from made a big deal out of it but it's just another light bar to me), gantry lights and tilt wheel. Also has: Lucerne grille guard, 28"X19" triple core radiator, hydroboost brakes, load range E tires, remote high idle control, tagalongs, dolly set and of course, a clear title. Truck runs great: starts easily in all weather and runs beautifully. There's exactly one failed hydraulic hose: on the cross beam of the wheel lift right at the pivot pin where all the steel and hoses meet. Fortunately it's not a critical function and it doesn't leak if you don't use its associated lever. I've only put 9000 miles on it in the ten years I've owned it, using it only occasionally for buying/moving project cars, motorcycles (I can show you how), auto junking, fetching firewood, hoisting a pallet of shingles up to my garage roof, picking and placing boulders around the yard, etc. etc. etc. Short wheelbase and narrow body allows you to place a disabled vehicle in slots a ramp truck can only peer into. Parking brake cables are frozen. Comes with a spare wheel, extra tires and any other spares I've accumulated for it over the years. Please scrutinize the photos and don't hesitate to ask for more if there's anything else you'd like to see. Thanks for looking and reading all this!

2015 Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon airbag problem causes recall

Tue, 14 Oct 2014



The recall affects 2,432 vehicles, though only 138 had actually reached consumers.
General Motors quickly fixed an airbag-wiring problem with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, but is still conducting a small recall to repair the midsize trucks that are launching this fall.

Satisfaction with dealer service rises, Lexus and GMC are tops

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

During the economic downturn, many car dealerships counteracted their slowing income by focusing on things that would set them apart from competition - things like the quality of customer service they provide. When the economy picked up and more sales and service followed, many also first invested those funds back into the business, improving their dealership facilities and service centers.
It looks like those investments are paying off, as J.D. Power and Associates' latest Customer Service Index Study shows that overall consumer satisfaction with dealer service has increased to 797 (on a 1,000-point scale), up from 787 in 2012 and 29 points higher than the score in 2011. The study also finds that people are more satisfied with the service they get at dealerships compared to independent service providers, despite the much higher average out-of-pocket cost per visit ($118 vs. $44).
Note, however, that this study only looks at how people are treated by a dealer's service department during the first three years of ownership (the survey is based on responses from 91,000 owners and lessees of 2008 to 2012 model year vehicles), so we're talking about the experience had when bringing a car in for repair or maintenance work, most likely under warranty. In fact, maintenance work is increasing in share and accounted for 77 percent of service visits (up from 72 percent in 2012 and 63 percent in 2011). This helps explain why customer satisfaction has also risen, since a properly maintained car is one that's less likely to require a dealer visit for an unexpected repair.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
