1986 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4X4

I don't know why I torcher myself ?? But I like to snoop through the Kijiji truck for sale ads, just to see whats for sale in my area.
Well I found my dream truck and I can't buy it right now cus I just bought my 87 Kodiak tilt N load.

But I'd like to post some pictures so I can come back here and dream.

It's got PW, PL Tilt AC 33 X 12.5 on 16" alum Rims Custom Dual exhaust 350 Auto he's asking $7500

$7,500 my foot. He can dream. But it does look nice.

Ya I'm beginning to realize how much of a dreamer he is.
I'm seeing more and more of them for around $1000 to $2500

It looks pretty good in the pics, and based off of just that, 3, maybe 3,500 tops. Not a penny more.

i couldnt get 7500 for my red truck and thats got a 454 in it.. lol. you could dream about paying that much but i wouldnt.. lol

I agree, looks good, but not for $7,500. Does remind me of my 85' though...

Well the seller won't reply to my emails and the is no number in the ad to call him. Can't reach him, can't haggle with him.
So I'm gonna let it go and keep searching for that perfect every day driver.

I want something I can work on in my garage again. The car I drive right now... there is 3 on board computers. There is so many modules and sensors... I'm afraid to open the hood.

I don't mind throttle body, and don't mind even having multi port. and anti lock brakes would be OK too.
I just want to go back to servicing my own truck again.

yeah i am afraid of volvos myself but i gotta work on them from time to time... anything newer then 04 and im in the dark but with the basic understanding i have of them i do alright.. i really need to go back and take a few refreshment classes.. lol

Even with my son being one of the mechanics at the Volvo dealership and getting it serviced for free on weekends has saved me a LOT of money but the parts are expensive. And the LED systems monitor on the dash drives me nuts. It even tells me my fuel cap is loose.

One day when I got it serviced my son came out waiving his finger at me. "You need to allow proper worm up time for your car before driving it. Your car said you drove away at an ambient atmospheric temperature of -15C and created a peak boost of 12 lbs."
NOT GOOD

My car is getting me in trouble with my mechanic. Time to sell her.

lol.. only 12 psi and he is bitchin.. but he is right.. a turbo car needs time to warm up and cool down.. the turbo gets so hot that the oil will crystalize and thats how you blow a turbo... lol

He wasn't bitching about the ONLY 12 psi of boost.. He was bitching because I didn't allow for the car (oil) to worm up before taking off. You can also shorten the life of your turbo if you don't allow the oil to properly lubricate it when it so cold.

yeah im learning all about turboes these days.. building a 97 eclipse with a big turbo sucks.. you have to put oil restictors inline beofre the turbo so you dont blow out the seals and make sure you dont run the lines to close to the manifold even though you only have 3 inches of space reguardless.. it sucks but in the long run it will be fun to drive.. 400 wheel hp in a front wheel drive car that will weight less then 2k pounds.. hmmm.. lol

Good looking truck but for the price I don't think so.

Yeah. Your not kidding. It is a sweet lookin rig. but the more research I do the I realize how outrageous the price is.
