The name Chevrolet certainly isn’t foreign to the American population. After all, who hasn’t heard the definition of a classic car being a “57 Chevy?” In looking at Chevrolet, though, classic cars and pick-ups come to mind, and not necessarily hybrid cars. Don’t write Chevrolet off yet, though, but actually go take a look at Chevrolet. The sedan and truck known from Chevy are getting a remix, in the form of the more technological and eco-friendly hybrid.

2005 brought changes to Chevrolet’s line-up, introducing the Equinox Hybrid vehicle, which, fascinatingly enough, was a hybrid SUV, one of the first in in the market, but not nearly as widely known. The Chevrolet Tahoe was right before the Equinox, and recent developments with Chevrolet have made the Equinox unavailable for pricing, so it seems that this new, unique take on one of the more gas-guzzling vehicles in the mass market has not seen the light of day in some time, and no information has been given on whether or not the vehicle will return. Even if there are major changes, the original Equinox was going to use a similar hybrid system that the Chevy Tahoe had, as well has having a major boost in fuel-efficiency from its typical gas-powered mate.

Putting the Equinox aside, Chevrolet offers both sides of the hybrid argument, the disappointingly less than fuel-efficient Chevy Tahoe Hybrid and the more affordable and much more fuel-efficient Chevy Malibu. In comparison to the Tahoe’s 20 miles to the gallon, the Malibu can boast over 30 miles per gallon, making the Malibu a vehicle to consider when window-shopping for hybrids.

Coming soon from Chevrolet will be the Silverado Hybrid, which is going to be the first pick-up truck hybrid (I don’t know about you, but I think that just sounds really cool). Originally slated for 2004, it has taken some time for this long-awaited innovation to arrive on the market, but considering the bad reception of the Tahoe and the competitive edge that Chevrolet wanted on the sedan front of the hybrid movement which prompted the Malibu, the Silverado is now finally going to be available with technology that should make things more accessible.

The Silverado should be available in limited supply in the fall of 2008, but will make its mass market debut in 2009 so they will be more available for every buyer. While still a good six months away from its premiere, this is definitely a vehicle to keep an eye on. A hybrid pick-up truck: Talk about completely changing around the stigma on trucks as gas guzzlers and turning them into more fuel-efficient vehicles that will be great for the whole environment.

As for other items on Chevrolet’s market, the Concept Camaro has been rumored to possibly be a hybrid. Granted, there’s nothing official yet, but, considering the major changes that would need to be made in order to make this classic staple a hybrid, there should definitely be more information on this particular item later.

The General Motors Corporation-produced Chevrolet boasts of a wide range of quality products from trucks to cars to sport utility vehicles for its customers worldwide. Since 1911, the Chevrolet brand has continuously evolved, as seen through its modern vehicles available at present. What made these even more appealing are the quality Chevrolet parts which can either be replacement parts or special add-ons that are easily accessible in the market.

The American automaker’s largest brand, Chevrolet, takes pride in the automotive parts equipped in its famous line of vehicles. The famous Chevy is represented not only by compact cars, but also by light, medium, and heavy duty trucks. Thus it must be ensured that all the Chevrolet parts are more than superbly manufactured to meet and even exceed the demands of its vehicles.

One of the best-selling models of Chevrolet is the medium-sized pick-up truck called the “Chevrolet Silverado.” Since this vehicle has to perform heavy tasks, which can include hauling or towing, it needs powerful Chevrolet parts. Thus all the Chevrolet trucks are geared to be tough. They usually have a 5.3-liter V8 engine that can guarantee up to 300 to 315 horsepower. Vehicles with beefed-up engines have to be matched with equally powerful suspension, transmission, and wheel systems to make it easier for the operator to control the vehicle. As Chevy trucks’ spacious cabin makes it suitable for the use of big families, their exterior are equipped with Chevrolet parts like the headlights and taillights assemblies for better road visibility, thus ensuring the safety of the vehicle occupants. These principles do not only apply to trucks, but to other Chevy vehicles as well.

Aside from the basic Chevrolet parts, some models of this brand are also designed to exude an air of luxury. Special features like the backing sonar, power adjustable pedals, leather bucket seats, and satellite radio are just some of the innovations installed in Chevrolet vehicles. Customization of Chevrolet parts can also be done, but owners have to make sure that the quality of these parts is never compromised. The usability of the Chevrolet parts before the sleek and stylish look that they can provide should be prioritized.

I drove my Grandmother’s Chevrolet Impala and it wasn’t even supercharged that car was fast. Now, a month later after reading and coming across on an Impala. I found out that they have already Supercharged for the Impala. I can imagine how fast that sucker goes if my grandmother’s regular stock Impala was that fast. Is this car definitely fast and who’s driven one?
It was a 2003 Chevrolet Impala.

The car wheels are among the most vital part of the car. They carry the entire structure of the car. They roam the dirty roads. For heavy-duty vehicles such as the Chevrolet trucks, one needs to rely on the durability of the Chevrolet truck wheels to roll easily on the road—whether it is rough or smooth, with bumps or without. Given the Chevrolet wheels’ crucial tasks, one must always remember that constant maintenance and checking on the wheels should be performed to avoid flat tires and even further damage.

There are simple ways to take care of the Chevrolet wheels. Doing these regularly is guaranteed to assist the wheels in reaching their full potential. Number one on the list is checking the wheels’ pressure regularly or at least once a month, depending on how the driver uses his vehicle. A tire pressure gauge can prove to be a very good investment. A “recommended tire pressure” can be found in the owner’s manual or on the tire pressure sign. However, it should be noted that the maximum pressure listed on the wheels is not the proper pressure. It is an entirely different thing. In this case, it is best to consult the repair manual.

Next, it is recommended to have the Chevrolet wheels rotated at every second oil change. This simple act ensures that all four wheels wear equally. Whenever one should feel even the slightest vibration while driving, this may be a sign that the wheels need to be balanced. Tread wear has a safe limit; however, if the wheels are worn below this, it makes the vehicle very unsafe to drive.

One must also learn to analyze the result of the mechanical inspection, because uneven wheel wear can cause alignment problems. Improper alignment causes increased wheel and suspension components to wear, therefore leading to poor handling. In a worst case scenario, improper alignment may even throw the car into a skid, most especially on a wet road. Alignment plays a very significant role that is relative to the performance of the wheels. A properly aligned set of Chevrolet Wheels are much more enjoyable to drive and less likely to fail.

Saying “we don’t want to rush” the Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle concept into production, the vehicle’s chief engineer took to the Internet over the weekend for a progress report. The report was published on the GM FastLane blog and YouTube.

Chevy Volt Vehicle Chief Engineer Nick Zielinski announced a number of enticing information. One of which is the fact that General Motors Corp. is considering installing a solar panel in the Volt to power fans or provide a small charge to the battery. “We can’t use it to power the motor,” he said. “The amount of energy for a solar cell is 75 watts, not enough to power the vehicle at 20-50 mph.” He noted that “a lot of people” have contacted the automaker to sign up for a test-drive of the Volt, but “we’re not at a stage where we can do that.” He added that the automaker is not ready to take deposits on a production version of the vehicle.

The Volt chief engineer also was modest about when and where production of the Volt will take place, saying, “We do not assign assembly plants this early in a program.” He assured viewers that “we will be building it,” although he refused to “share timing targets.” He decline to divulge pricing information about the Volt, but said that it may have a “slight premium” over unspecified competitive vehicles.

Zielinski said that the Volt’s system is “tailored more to compact and intermediate-size vehicles” and assured viewers that “we’ll have other vehicles out there.” But “you may not see a pickup truck with E-flex,” he said. GM describes the E-flex as a “family of propulsion systems.” He appeared to be speaking from a GM garage. He asked himself queries drawn from what was deemed as a list compiled from consumer questions on the FastLane blog and then answered them.

Though the report divulged little about the Volt, the information is still worthy of attention. The same involves one remarkable car that could spell a big difference in the auto industry. The Volt will drive about 40 miles on pure electric power. Vehicle Line Director Tony Posawatz said that GM arbitrarily picked this distance because the Department of Transportation studies show that half of U.S. households travel less than 30 miles per day, while 78 percent of commuters travel no more than 40 miles per day to work. “Most Volt drivers would use little or no gasoline,” Posawatz noted.

GM has unveiled the Chevrolet Volt concept, the company’s first plug-in hybrid vehicle, at the 2007 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. The Chevrolet Volt concept is the first vehicle to use the automaker’s new E-flex family of propulsion systems. The automaker claims the Volt delivers triple-digit fuel economy and can travel up to 640 miles without a fuel fill-up or a battery recharge.

The Volt may not be equipped with the Chevrolet pickup cab extender but its features are outstanding in their own right. The Volt features a front-mounted electric motor that generates 160 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. Lithium-ion batteries are housed beneath the Volt’s floor. Also onboard are the 53-kilowatt electric generator, turbocharged, 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine, and a 12-gallon fuel tank.

By GM’s calculations, the Volt would save the typical driver 500 gallons of fuel per year, amounting to a net cost savings of $900 (assuming gas costs $2.40 a gallon). The addition to a home electric bill would be approximately $300. Additionally, the Volt saves the environment some 4.4 metric tons of CO2 that might otherwise be emitted into the air in a year, GM claimed.
