WD-40 Brand is auctioning its classic 1951 Chevrolet 3100 to benefit SEMA Cares charities, including Childhelp.

 from Feb. 28 to March 7.

WD-40 Brand and SEMA Cares partnered with Trad Ronfeldt to rebuild the WD-40 Brand/SEMA Cares Custom 1951 Chevrolet 3100, which debuted at the 2021 SEMA Show at the WD-40 Brand booth. All of the proceeds from the auction will go to SEMA Cares Charities, including Childhelp, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child abuse.

Ronfeldt – a seasoned automotive mechanic, fabricator, welder, and professional off-road crew chief – had an ambitious plan to rebuild the vehicle from the ground up. He wanted to create something that looked like it just rolled off the production line, and he accomplished this and more.

The 1951 Chevrolet 3100 is now a road-ready vehicle that maintains its classic look with a custom-built dually rear-end, backed by added horsepower and superior performance. Ronfeldt fabricated the truck bed from new materials to imitate the truck’s body lines to make it look like a Chevrolet production piece straight off the assembly line.

In addition, the vehicle has numerous updates, including:  

  • A V-8 fuel-injected 383 Stoker producing 500+ horsepower  
  • Custom dually rear with widened Currie axle  
  • New suspension design  
  • A restored cab interior with new upholstery and distressed leather seats  
  • A custom patina paint job  
  • Completely new drivetrain and transmission

      The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse comes equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission paired with its 3.6L V6 engine, offering wide gear spacing for both fuel efficiency and highway cruising comfort. Some owners have reported concerns with rough or hesitant shifting, particularly during low-speed acceleration and downshifts — often addressed through GM software updates and transmission fluid changes. Dexron HP is the recommended fluid for this unit. When replacing the transmission, ensure the replacement unit is properly programmed to the vehicle's control modules. Remanufactured 9-speed units provide a dependable, warrantied path to restoring smooth, confident performance in your Traverse. link hidden, please login to view

      The 2014 Chevy Spark transmission is a key component that determines how smoothly this compact car performs in city and highway driving. It came equipped with either a 5-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT), offering drivers excellent flexibility. Common issues include hesitation during acceleration and occasional slipping. Low fluid levels are often the root cause of these problems. Regular maintenance checks can extend its lifespan significantly and help avoid expensive repairs down the road.

      The 2006 Chevy Silverado transmission is a critical component for one of America's most dependable full-size trucks. The 2006 Silverado used either a 4L60-E four-speed automatic or the heavy-duty 4L80-E, depending on engine configuration and towing package. The 4L60-E is the most common unit and the one most frequently replaced due to solenoid failures, torque converter issues, and third-gear clutch wear particularly on trucks that hauled heavy loads or towed frequently throughout their service life.
      When sourcing a replacement 2006 Silverado transmission, confirm your engine size and towing package code from your VIN. They determine which transmission unit is correct. A quality used 4L60-E or 4L80-E with under 80,000 documented miles, shift-tested across all ranges, and covered by a minimum 12-month warranty is the most cost-effective replacement path available for Silverado owners today.
