1991 Gmc Syclone, 86k Miles, Brand New Drivetrain - Ready To Go! on 2040-cars
|
For sale is my 1991 GMC Syclone. This is a rare, AWD factory turbocharged version of the S10 pickup truck that was made in limited quantities in 1991. The truck itself is very clean with 86K original miles - all OEM body panels and cladding - never wrecked with a clean original interior. Syclones came with a black paint scheme - this truck has been repainted a very cool deep red color to stand out from the pack and match a famous Syclone die cast toy car by Johnny Lightning. At 86K miles, the truck itself was in good shape, but certain parts were showing signs of getting tired, so the entire drivetrain has just been replaced and improved by a local shop (GN Northwest) that specializes in GMC Syclones and knows them as well as anyone. The engine was completely rebuilt to OEM specs, the transmission was rebuilt and hardened to racing specs, and the AWD drivetrain was freshened with new components. For all intents and purposes, the drivetrain of this truck is brand new and better than it rolled out of the factory. It runs and drives perfectly. The truck has been extensively modified: the fuel system, turbocharger, intercooler, torque converter, transmission, intake, and exhaust have all been updated to street/strip racing specs. It is shod on all 4 corners with sticky race compound tires, has a full spread of aftermarket gauges, and can be shockingly quick. It will outrun almost any other car on the street at any price range in a stoplight race. This truck would make an awesome street or track toy. I'm selling it because it sits around as a showpiece and never gets driven. That's not why I bought it - I bought it and restored it because I love these trucks and wanted to put another cool Syclone back in circulation. I want to sell it to someone who will drive it.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
GM thinks Colorado and Canyon midsize trucks will lure crossover buyers
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The invitation to come out and sample product at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, MI is rarely dull, and after spending this morning driving preproduction versions of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon all we can say is... under strict embargo. Sorry, America, we were as excited as many of you are to learn more about GM's new midsize truck range and take note of how they go down the road, but it's going to be September before we're allowed to share that with all of you. Here's to sweet suspense.
While we might not be able to talk about refinement or handling yet, we did find some of the product positioning and marketing statements from GMC and Chevy officials on hand at the program to be pretty interesting.
Of course, we all know that the literal competitive set for Canyon and Colorado is comprised of two comparatively ancient Japanese midsize trucks: the Toyota Tacoma (which currently owns this segment) and the Nissan Frontier. The Frontier's bones are as old as the 2005 model year, with 2009 marking the last time the truck was updated. The Taco was also launched in 2005, though it did see a freshening for 2012. The point remains that, in every facet from powertrain to dash plastics, the GM midsize truck twins are going to look positively space age by comparison when they hit the market for MY 2015.
Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V6 nets 18 mpg city, 24 highway
Wed, 19 Jun 2013There is no doubting that fuel economy has become an important factor in the highly competitive fullsize truck market, with the Ford F-150 EcoBoost V6 and Pentastar V6-powered Ram 1500 setting quite a precedent in recent years. Now it's General Motors' turn. The General has just announced that the new base V6 used in the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 models will return an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway in two-wheel drive trim, regardless of cab configuration.
While these figures don't go so far as to earn GM any "best-in-class" fuel economy claims (thanks to the 25-mpg Ram 1500 HFE), this new 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 does edge the F-150 and Toyota Tundra while boasting best-in-class numbers for torque, payload and towing capacity among six-cylinder rivals. This all-new engine produces 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, and it gives the 2014 Silverado and Sierra the highest towing rating among standard V6 models with a 7,200-pound towing capacity - besting the Ram by 700 pounds, the base F-150 by 1,100 pounds and coming within 200 pounds of the V8-powered Nissan Titan.
