Q: should I buy a motorcycle or keep my truck?
OK, I have a 1995 chevy truck with a camper. It gets 22 mpg, but its starting to lose oil and has a radiator leak somewhere in the system. But I own it free and clear, and I am a musician so it’s great for hauling my instruments on the rare occasion that I play out. It’s worth about $3,500 – if only because of the national and Texas cash-for-clunkers programs.
But I adore motorcycles, and my husband brought up the idea of selling my truck and buying a used motorcycle for about $2k, with a net profit from the sales, and then saving on gas and insurance.
So, do the potential cost benefits (and the fun) of riding a motorcycle outweigh a decent truck that I already have that is starting to have mechanical problems? I can’t make up my mind and it’s driving me NUTS! Help!
A: If you have other means of hauling your instruments around, then get the motorcycle. But if you really need the truck then keep it. I’d rather get the motorcycle though.
Q: Looking to buy first truck soon, want some info…?
looking for 1995-2000 chevy 1500 ext. cab 4×4
i like the truck, found some decent 95-96 around me for 5 grand one had 98,000 miles on it and looked clean from the pics
i chose chevy because i used to work at uhaul and those fords will be the death of me, also dodges dont appeal to me unless someone has otherwise outlooks
what should i look for out side of the basics that my dad has taught me over the years since he and i both do our own mechanic work, our cars havent seen a shop in quite some time
thanks in advance
also if you live in iowa and have a chevy listed above for sale, within the next few months i plan to buy one so i can fix my warm months car since the engine finally gave out
A: I would not spend that much on a truck that old. Although it does have lower miles, there are still problems with age especially with chevys made in those years. If I were you, I would just get an s10. They have the best engines, good on gas, and you can get 4×4 if you choose so.

Which would be the 2 wise picks?
A: Well the v6 will not tow around alot of weight….You should buy a 4×4 because resale is higher than a 2×4…..I,d get a duramax 2500….You,ll always have enough power and diesel is cheaper than gas.
Q: Which one of these cars would be a good 1st car?

ya, i like the unusual and unpractical.
A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net
Q: Are the older 83-97 Chevy/GMC C/K 1500 good trucks?
Would like to get a regular cab with short or long box. Would be used as a daily driver as well as hauling light to moderate, rarely heavy loads of dirt, gravel, tools, furniture and other stuff. I’ve looked at some of the compact pickups, some of them burn just as much fuel as the full size. I’m 6′3″ so the full size is just right.
Would never use to tow. I have thought about the 4.3L V6 and 5.7L V8. I have been told that the 4.3L will burn about as much as the 5.7L V8. If that’s true, I’m all for it. It makes sense that the bigger 5.7L engine won’t have to work as hard as the 4.3L.
I’ve had a few people tell me they get about 14mpg (17L/100km) with 5.7L V8. That’s pretty good. I used to own a Dodge Dakota that had a 3.9L V6 with 5spd that didn’t have much power and it would use the same amount of fuel. My experience with the V6 engine are a big compromise.
What would be the difference between the two engines driving in the city/highway and mixed driving empty and with some weight? I’m thinking the 4.3L V6 may get worse gas mileage with loaded bed than the 5.7L V8. Is it worth it to go to the 4.3L V6 or be better to just skip it and go with the V8?
Here in Canada where I live, the roads are no flat and straight like most of the U.S. roadways. There are alot of hills, mountains, etc..
I’m not sure If I should get one with the non vortec throttle body injected, or multiport injected vortec engine. The TBI looks more simple. Was 1995 the last year of the TBI.
I’ve been told that the TBI is more reliable than vortec with less clutter under the hood.
The majority of these trucks that I’ve seen are automatic. It’s hard to find one with a manual transmission unless it’s 4.3L,I guess automatic is probably reliable.
I have never owned a GM truck, How do you guys like your trucks?
I’ve found a few for sale. To name a couple would be an
1997 Chevy C1500 2wd shortbox with 4.3L 5spd manual, 210,000km
1991 Chevy C1500 2wd longbox with 5.7L TBI and auto, 220,000km
Thanks.
A: Your two trucks in question is the 88-98 body style. The 83-87 was the older style.
For the drive train:
1995 was the last year of the TBI (Throttle Body Injected) 5.0L and 5.7L V8. The Vortec V8 began in 1996.
If I remember correctly, 1992-1995 the 4.3L V6 was CPFI (Centeral Port Fuel Injected). In 1996 also gained the Vortec heads and SCPI (Sequential Central Port Injection).
The automatic transmission used was the 4L60 until 1992. In 1993, the 4L60E began use. The ‘E’ designates electronic control, meaning that the engine control module also controls the shifting of the transmission.
Body changes:
I think it was 1993 when the driver’s side airbag was available.
I know that 1996 was the first year of the passenger side airbag on the half-ton trucks.
Rear wheel ABS was available on the early models. I think 4-wheel ABS was standard in ‘96… I know that it was standard in 1997.
1997 was the first year that the 3rd door on the extended cab was an option (if you end up getting an extended cab).
The manual transmissions are more common on the 95′ and older models (any motor). Since you say you live in hilly terrain, I would go for the 5.7L motor; the extra power is going to prove its worth!
If you can, wait for a ‘96+ model. The Vortec motor is rated for more HP and torque than the previous TBI unit.
Common problems on these trucks are;
IAC (Idle Air Control) valve. Seem more problematic on the TBI motors.
Fuel pumps. Pump is located inside the fuel tank; requires removal of tank or bed to access. Pre-mature failure caused by running tank low on fuel, the fuel acts as a heat sink to cool the pump. Keep tank above 1/4 full whenever possible.
Intake manifold gasket (1996+ models). The redesign of the vortec heads and intake manifold is prone to leaking coolant. Loss is usually to the outside of the motor, but is possible that coolant is ingested. Replace intake manifold gasket and use proper RTV during replacement to fix problem.
Many people may gripe about the automatic transmissions being weak. I believe that many of these failures are caused by driver error. The 4L60E is a very good trans. Just lock it out of overdrive on long hills or while hauling/pulling (if it shifts excessively between 3rd and 4th).
I have a ‘97, and I absolutely love my truck. It has been great to me. I maintain it religiously and don’t beat on it.
Q: Do I have to pay sales tax on a vehicle in Houston TX that I plan to resale?
I have recently purchased a 2005 Chevy 2500HD for $11,300 in the state of Maryland that I am waiting to have shipped down to Houston TX. I purchased the truck under the assumption that I was losing my company car. Recently I have found out that I get to keep my company car and have no use for the Chevy truck. NADA trade in on the truck is $19,300.00. I safely feel I can at least break even or mostly make a profit on the truck. I plan on receiving the truck in Houston and then immediately resale the vehicle. I will take it to Carmax if I have to. Is there a way to get around paying the 6.25% sales tax on purchased vehicles if I strictly resale the truck? i.e. – I do not title it in my name, or I obtain a resale certificate, or etc…???
THANKS!
A: I am not sure about in TX, but in my state you have to have a tax id in order to purchases things with the purpose of resale and not pay taxes on them. You would however have to pay sales take when you sold it if this is the case.
Hope this helps! Good luck!!
Q: In market for a used vehical, please Help?
My S10 Chevy Blazer was buried in salt water and won’t work right. I need something reliable thats inspectable in Rhode Island Emmisions, I’m willing to pay no more than $1500.00 Anyone out there have any localized vehicles for sale, preferably a wagon, or something I can throw a lawnmower in the back of like a jeep/truck or something…
A: I was going to tell you about craigslist, but Ian F beat me to it.
craigslist is a great resource for anybody looking to buy or sell.
I now use it more than ebay. (as it is free to post AND the ads are from your local area…)
BTW, this post put me at 7K points
Q: *CAR SALES EXPERTS* Used car loan help!! 
We were offered “17%” from dealer. What to do?
Looking to trade a couple of cars and need help!!
>1st up we are looking to trade a 2005 Kia Sorento for a 2007 Nissan Titan. We are getting $11,695 for Kia but owe $15,193 thus going in the hole $3,500 right off. We are getting the truck for $16,995 but overall we have got to finance $22,000. They got us payments of $487.74 w/ 17% rate!!
>2nd trade is a 2007 Ford Focus for a 2008 chevy cobalt. ford getting 12,200 for and owe 12,200. Cobalt getting for 13,000 with payments of $318 with the 17% rate as well. ???? Does this sound good?? Getting screwed. Would it be smarter to go through a different company for financing? We have pretty crappy credit though. No bankruptcy or nothing.
Well, why I feel it is needed to trade is the kia has 80,000 miles on it and we owe 15,000 still. I just pretty much know it won’t last it through that.
And the car is a straight and my wife has tried and tried and tried and can not drive it. I need to use the 4×4 at times and she needs to be able to drive my car.
Thus really don’t have many other options.
A: don’t trade either car in, every time you trade you get deeper in debt and upside down. you create a vicious cycle that will never help you get better credit or pay down the car loans because so much of the payment is going towards interest. Check to see how much interest will go towards the payment it will make you sick. If the cars are running well keep them don’t fall into a financial trap you can never get out of. A couple of years from now you will want to trade the truck in and the payoff will still be 22k
Q: stock alternator for 2000 watt amplifier?
well I am still findind the best solution.
I have 2000 watts rms cea certified with one yellow top, 0 gauge allaround, and big 3.
I heard from a sales represenative that he once had 4 batteries and only the stock alternator, all this for 4 amplifiers….he won several bass competitions.
I also heard from another tech. he installed 4 12″ subs for a chevy truck and he got 3 batteries extra on the guy’s truck and he used the stock alternator.
I heard from several places that I should not add batteries because it was never good to add batteries because it will add another load to the “overworked” alternator. but what is going on, with these people that do add extra batteries and have booming bass.
it makes sense that you can obtain current and voltage from one battery, and from two you should be able to as twice as much and so on………..
I also understand that it should take a better charge to keep two batteries charged,
so people have done 3 and 4 extra batteries
so there are places online specially www.4alterstart.com where they have for about 500 bucks, these 275 amp alternator and there are a many local places here where I live where I can buy 2 more extra optima yellow top for 400 bucks.
what should I do to make feed my system properly??
(I only listen to my radio when the engine running )
should I add and extra or two extra batteries close to the amp?
A: you do need to upgrade your alternator. alternators are not designed to run at full power all the time. they are designed to recharge the battery from starting the engine, and run the factory accessories with a little extra room. a stock alternator will put out about 1190 watts max (about 14 volts and rated at 85 amps) there are other stock alternators with higher output, but this is pretty common.
you need a higher output alternator, and I would add another battery with an isolator (this keeps you from draining the main battery used for all of your stock accessories.) you should try to move your 2nd battery as close to your amp as possible.
you can start by just adding a second battery and an isolator, and just wait until your factory alt. goes out it will eventually, and you might not be happy where is leaves you when it does crap out.
Q: all terrain tires for my truck?
im looking for some good used or new all terrain tires for my 89 chevy blazer s-10… im really mad cause i went mudding on some street tires and got stuck up to my doors in mud… the specs on my tires are
P235/75R/15… i know the last two numbers matter but i want wider tires like about 235 to 265.. if anyone know where i can get any or has some for sale hit me up at 770 -757 -4382…. if you call ask for troy
A: You can probably fit 31 inch tires on this vehicle but they may rub and or decrease the area between the tire and the fender well. You can try 30.9″ tires or just get 235/75/15 mud tires. Give tirerack a try. Best of luck.
Q: Legal question…I bought a 2002 Chevy Tahoe for 16.5 K?
from a used car dealer. We registered it and insurured it. We paid 900.00 on sales tax. I went and got pictures for the insurance company. Then I took it to get a sticker and it didnt pass. It needed brakes and one air shock. We brought it back, the guy we bought it from said he cant afford to fix it, so we have to pay half. Now this car has a 30 day warranty, it should of been looked at before we bought it. I have 3 children and not alot of time and money to get my money back and wait for the 900.00 for the sales tax and no time to look for another one. I have been driving my husband pickup truck and it has screwed my whole wk up because i have to get him from work. What can I legally do in this situation?
A: you bought the car as is and with all faults, however since you bought it at a dealership he is responsible for a current inspection sticker. (If it was not current in the month you bought it – he would have to pay to bring it up) -
You said you have a 30 day warranty – what does it cover?
Q: Do I have rights with a CAR LOT? We bought a truck June 1st it already QUIT.?
We bought this 1998 Chevy S10 pick up for my son to get to work. We bought it at 8:30 p.m. on June 1st and my son was coming home Monday from work June 6th. And he made it with in a mile from home and it Quit. It has gas in it, has oil, all fluids are full. It just died. I called the Warranty place and they told me I have 1 week to get it fixed. And gave me 3 numbers to call to get it to the shop. I have to use the Mechanic they tell me I can use. I can only use the Wrecker service they tell me to use. I told them I did not have any money to haul it to a shop. And everytime I opened my mouth to say something the smooth talking Salesman cut me off or talked over me. I finally got Pissed and told him to Shut the Hell Up and Listen to Me. I was the one telling him what was going on with our truck He told us nothing but lies when we got the truck. Now when it goes down it is a hole nother set of lies. He said it was $6400 when we got the truck. And when the papers were finished the papers we were showed said $6428 dollars but the papers in the Glove box say $7995 after he figured everything up. He told us Sales tax would be $450 at the most. Her in Arkansas when I finally called the Revenue place it is $10 dollars on every hundred they figured it up and it will be almost $800 dollars sales tax. Plus I told him I could do a $150 a month payment when he gave us the papers the payment is $321 a month. Plus service fees. But we told them we were done with the truck now they tell us to bad drive it pay it live with what you bought and OH WE KNEW IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. Sorry we forgot to tell you that when you bought the truck. My husband told the Salesman we wanted out of the deal we just wanted our old car back and would take our business someplace else. And he said to bad SO SAD live with it. And hung Up on my husband.
A: I didn’t take time to read the entire saga, but I can tell you a couple facts. One…the “Lemon law” does NOT apply to ANY used car in ANY state ANYWHERE. Two….if you have a warranty, use it. It does not give you the option of returning the vehicle. It is only for repairs that are covered. Now you know why it is important to have a shop go over any car considered for purchase. BTW….Complaining to the BBB is an absolute waste of time. They have no power to do anything and I expect this dealer does not subscribe to their rating service anyway.
