This is my personal 1994 GMC Step Side.  I purchased the truck in Tennessee from the previous owner who got it from his best friend in 2005.  Truck is one of the nicest and cleanest that I have ever seen.  Runs and drives flawlessly.  It is hard to believe how well this truck drives.  I have built several of these trucks and tried to buy this one for over 6 months before I was able to convince the previous owner to let go of it.  You can tell from some of the photos how clean the underside and engine area of this truck is.  I did not spray bomb it, the truck is really this clean.

The crate motor was purchased from Bill Heard Chevrolet in Huntsville Alabama in January of 2006.  Was installed by Corvettes Plus in Whitesburg Tennessee when the truck had approximately 119500 miles.  I do have receipts and documentation of this.  Previous customer drove it for close to 17,000 miles before he sold it to me.  I put around 1500 on it before I decided to upgrade the truck.  Vehicle has 138,000 miles showing on the odometer.  This is correct.

I decided to increase some of the performance, but not change the reliability of the vehicle.  I researched Harris Performance (you can go to tbichips dot com to find out more info) and really liked what he had to say about building TBI motors. I used his cam, intake, & chip ideas for this build.

Installed Edelbrock TBI Intake manifold.  Updated Throttle Body.  Comp Cams 249 H cam designed for TBI motors.  New valve springs.  
Chrome Headers.  New free flowing Y Pipe Exhaust into a Flowmaster muffler with custom drops at the back corners of the bed.
Truck has a great sound.  Not loud just very deep.  No exhaust drone sound at any RPM.  Very nice to cruise in.

I wanted a little more get up and go so I installed a 4:10 Auburn Posi rear end with upgraded brake drums.  I hate a vehicle that only turns one rear wheel. The truck has great cruising ability because of the 700 r4 Overdrive Tranny.  If you want to get nasty with it you can.  Great runner with good fuel economy.  When I did the upgrades I went ahead and put in a new radiator, high flow fuel pump, power steering pump, and anything that could be updated.  Front and rear brakes are new and operate great. 

American Racing 18" wheels in the front and 20" in the rear.  Tires have decent tread.  Rears are getting a little thin, but not dangerous.

Body of the truck is great.  There is a small dent in the top of the passenger side bed rail.  Looks like an elbow mark.  I have a photo of it showing the small imperfection. Very hard to see unless you are looking for it.  The bed of the truck is in excellent shape.  There are a few rock chips on the front.  Overall, the paint is in great shape.  Not an all out show truck, but very close.  Doors do not sag, bushings have been upgraded so doors close like new. 

Interior is stock and in great shape.  No rips or tears in seat.  Carpet has a couple of stains, but very good condition.  The fuse door cover is broken.  I have it but the tab has broken off like most of these do.  

I am a Harley Davidson dealer.  I would have interest in Harley or other brand motorcycle trades.  Please contact me to discuss values.

I recently purchased a Jeep SRT8 so I need to make some space in the garage.  This GMC truck is a knock out.  Gets looks everywhere I go.  Hate to get rid of it, but I only have so much space.

Please contact me if you have any questions or need anything else.

2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra heavy duty trucks unveiled

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Proving just how important trucks are in the Lone Star State, General Motors has chosen the State Fair of Texas to reveal its new heavy-duty trucks from Chevrolet and GMC. Looking to take some of the wind out of the sails of the 2014 Ram HD and 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty, the 2015 Chevy Silverado HD and 2015 GMC Sierra HD will have plenty to brag about when they go on sale in the first quarter of next year.
The bragging starts right up front with two available engines. The standard engine is a Vortec 6.0-liter V8 that produces 360 horsepower in the 2500HD and 322 hp in the 3500HD to go along with 380 pound-feet of torque in all applications. The true benefit of this powerplant is that buyers can opt for it to run on straight gasoline, E85 FlexFuel or even compressed natural gas (CNG). For maximum towing and even more flexibility, the 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel B20-capable V8 is the way to go, with its carryover 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. Though the max towing abilities of 23,200 pounds (with a fifth-wheel trailer) are less than the 30,000-pound rating of the new Ram, the GM HD trucks offer better conventional trailer towing (19,600 pounds) and payload (7,374 pounds) than rival heavy-duty trucks...for now. The Duramax is paired with a six-speed Allison automatic transmission, while the gas engine gets GM's six-speed Hydra-Matic - no manual transmissions are offered.
Including the engines, GM continues to offer a broad range of configurations (more than 150, to be exact) including three cabs, two cargo bed lengths, numerous trim levels and, of course, the choice of single- or dual-rear wheels on the 3500. The HD trucks have faces that are similar to their half-ton counterparts, with the exception of a larger grille and bigger for improved air flow, and like the current HD offerings, the new Silverado HD and Sierra HD DRW models feature a one-piece bed design incorporating the fender extensions.

GM recalling 22K Silverado and Sierra trucks for seat issue

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

General Motors will recall 21,721 of its new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups over front seats that could move if the vehicle is hit from behind. Affected vehicles all feature manual adjustments for the two front seats, according to a report from Automotive News.
Of the nearly 22,000 vehicles covered under the action, the overwhelming majority - 18,972 -- were sold in the United States. A further 2,575 were sold in Canada, while 103 were shipped south of the border to Mexico. Finally, another 71 were sold outside North America altogether. As of right now, there are no reports of injuries due to the defect.
Naturally, Chevy and GMC dealers will make the repairs free of charge, although it's not clear as of this writing if GM will be notifying owners or just addressing the issue at the truck's first service.

2013 GMC Acadia priced from $34,875*

Wed, 12 Sep 2012

For those who are interested in the reworked 2013 GMC Acadia, we now know how much you can look forward to forking over. Base MSRP for the 2013 version of the full-size, three-row crossover has been set at $34,875 (*not including a $825 destination charge). If you are interested in the range-topping Denali trim, be prepared to pay $46,770.
The 2013 Acadia will come standard with a backup camera, leather-wrapped steering wheel, USB port and recycled visuals from the now-dead Saturn Outlook.
Upping to the Denali trim gets you a head-up display, blind spot monitoring system and GMC's new Rear Cross Traffic Alert system. According to GMC, most trims will also receive IntelliLink connectivity as standard equipment. The Acadia will also get the industry's first front-center airbag, an innovation it shares with other Lambda-based crossovers like the refreshed 2013 Buick Enclave. The idea behind the new tube-shaped airbag is that it can provide a buffer between driver and front seat passenger in the event of an impact, or better hold the driver in place if he or she is alone.
