The increasing number of vehicles in the roads of the United States means that there are lots of vehicles to choose from for thieves. The popularity of a certain model is not only gauged by its sales figures in the markets but how it appeals to auto thieves.

Sadly though, that remains a fact as car thieves steal the most popular vehicles and this is as shown by a study that was conducted in the state of Texas. Last year, the Texas Department of Public Safety compiled a list of vehicles that were stolen in the said state. For more than a decade before 2006, Chevrolet pickup trucks top that list but for the year 2006, the most stolen vehicles are Ford pickup trucks. While this is a sign that Ford is producing vehicles which appeals to the taste of Americans, it is saddening that the same attraction it has for law-abiding citizens also appeal to thieves.

The list reported by the Texas Department of Public Safety comes from the database of the Texas Crime Information Center. The said information was reported by different law enforcement agencies across the state. Ford pickup trucks rank as the most stolen vehicles for 2006.

Following close behind Ford is the Chevy brand of General Motors. Chevrolet pickup trucks are also some of the most common targets for car thieves in the state of Texas. Ranking third on the list are Dodge pickup trucks. The popularity of pickup trucks to thieves is evident in the fact that the top three most stolen vehicles are all pickup trucks. Of course, it is a known fact that Americans love their trucks and it comes as no surprise that thieves targets these pickup trucks.

Number four on the list is the Honda Accord. This mid-size sedan that has become so popular among consumers is also attracting the unwelcome attention of car thieves. Another Honda model is included in the list of Texas' most stolen vehicles - the Honda Civic ranks the fifth most stolen vehicle.

The Chevrolet Tahoe, the full-size sport utility vehicle from General Motors is listed as the sixth most stolen vehicle in the state. Number seven on the list are GMC pickup trucks once again showing the attention pickup trucks attract from crooks.

The Ford Taurus, the mid-size front wheel drive sedan is ranked as the eighth most stolen vehicle in Texas. The only model from Toyota to have made the list is the company's best seller - the Toyota Camry - which is ranked as the ninth most stolen vehicle. Completing the list of the most stolen vehicle last year in Texas is the large sport utility vehicle from General Motors - the Chevrolet Suburban.

Aside from the state's most stolen vehicles, the Houston Police Department also published the most stolen cars in the city last December. Topping the list once again are Ford pickup trucks while Chevy pickup trucks with their Chevrolet pickup racks retains the second spot. The third most stolen vehicle in the city last December as compiled by the Houston Police Department is Honda cars. Of the stolen Honda cars for the said month, 54 percent are Civics and 45 percent are Accords while the rest is composed of various Honda car models.

Ranking fourth in the list are Dodge pickup trucks which are quite known for their powerful HEMI engines.

Number five on the list are Ford cars. Of all the Ford cars stolen for the month of December last year, the Ford Taurus is the most popular among thieves with 60 percent of Ford cars being stolen consisting of the Taurus model. The Ford Mustang is also very popular among car thieves as ten percent of Ford cars stolen for the month are Mustangs.

The sixth most stolen vehicles in the list are Toyota cars. The Toyota Camry is the most popular Toyota model among thieves as 57 percent of Toyota cars stolen were Camrys. The Toyota Corolla, Toyota's compact sedan, is also popular among thieves with 29 percent of Toyota cars stolen being Corollas.

Next on the list are Chevrolet cars with 25 percent stolen cars being Chevy Malibus, 23 percent being Chevy Cavaliers and the rest is comprised of different Chevrolet car models.

Gm Reports May Sales of 375,682 Units

Maker of quality GMC headlights, GM in the United States sold 375,682 vehicles in May that is 4.7 percent higher than the year-ago monthly sales. It was 8.8 percent higher on an unadjusted basis. Its retail sales for May totaled to 279,731 – an 8.5 percent increase. On an unadjusted basis, retail sales were up 12.8 percent as compared to the same month a year ago.

The continuing strength of GM’s new product line is reflected on the May sales. As to the fuel-efficient and alternative fuel (E-85) markets, the Chevrolet Impala, Saturn AURA and also the new industry leading mid-size crossovers GMC Acadia have increased sales. The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks that are leading fuel efficiency in their class comprised the 10 percent increase as compared with May 2006 in the pickup segment and the 14 percent retail sales.

Saturn with 59 percent increase, GMC with 18 percent increase, along with Pontiac with 8 percent increase were the successful divisions for the month of May this year in terms of retail sales. Furthermore, Chevrolet, whose sales were up 5 percent, was again leading the industry sales.

Mark LaNeve, the Vice President of GM North American Sales, Service and Marketing, said that their reports for May were tremendously good because of strong total and retail sales increases. Their huge market share gains in full-size trucks and crossovers proved that they made a good decision to invest in industry-leading fuel economy in these essential segments.

He further said that the company is grateful to the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups that put their full-size truck sales up in a 10 percent increase. He added that these hot selling all-new trucks are just like many of their vehicles that offer fuel economy, astonishing performance and extreme value – everything that a customer is demanding for. The company was further fascinated by the beyond-what-is-expected performance of the newest entry to the crossover segment, the Buick Enclave. They were also pleased by the performance of their mid-size crossover segment like the GMC Acadia and Saturn OUTLOOK as their sales continue to increase.

The Saturn is performing well as its product revival continued its pace. With its increasing total sales now nearing to 69 percent, the Saturn, which includes SKY, AURA and AURA Hybrid, OUTLOOK, VUE and VUE Hybrid, is receiving warm acceptance from the public. The ASTRA will soon replace the ION small car. As a whole, Saturn is the fastest growing brand in the industry so far this year.

Other vehicles that have May retail sales increases as compared with a year ago were as follows: Chevrolet Aveo, Cobalt, Malibu, Impala, HHR, Silverado, Suburban, and Avalanche; Pontiac G6 and Solstice; Saturn SKY and VUE; Saab 9-3, GMC Sierra and Yukon XL; Buick Lucerne; Cadillac SRX, Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT; and HUMMER H3. Meanwhile, newly offered products like Pontiac G5, Saturn AURA and OUTLOOK, GMC Acadia and the Buick Enclave will continue to contribute retail sales strength.

Over 12,800 vehicles were the retail sales of the GMC Acadia, Saturn OUTLOOK and Buick Enclave. As a result, GM’s mid-crossover segment experienced a significant retail increase. GM’s total sales of over 16,600 vehicles in this segment put monthly performance to 211 percent higher as compared with May 2006’s GM’s mid-crossover segment sales.

According to LaNeve, they are seeing good results. One of which is the increased residual values for their products. He said that this was a result of staying coordinated and dedicated to their North American competition and market growth plans. He added that the result implied that their company is providing products that lead the industry in terms of design, segment fuel economy, warranty coverage and performance; and it is tantamount to a beneficial cost of ownership experience. The company anticipates the same customer acceptance as their many vehicles when their new products like the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Malibu enter the dealer showrooms before the year ends.

Forty-five thousand eight hundred ninety-two (45,892) cars of all certified GM brands that include GM Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles were sold in May 2007.

Can the transmission in my 1994 Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup replace the transmission in my 1997 Chevy Suburban?

I think the suburban has a 4L60E in it.

Thank you!

Rick

no, the 94 was still using the old 700r4 trans and even though they may look similar,there are subtle differences like a bolt on bell housing on a 97 and the transfer case bolts on with six bolts instead of 4.plus the wiring is completely different. also the 700r4 uses a kickdown cable to determine throttle position.
