1990 GMC Diesel 6.2 Diesel Suburban In overall good shape. This truck spent most of its life on a ranch in South Texas. I purchased it about a year ago with the intention of making it a cross country family traveling vehicle. ( I grew up with a truck just like this ) Well I have put a whole lot of time and effort in it getting to were it is now. I have since gotten a new job and have been given a new company truck, the suburban has just been sitting. I used it twice in the last six months. Once to move, and once to haul a load of furniture a couple hours away. The truck runs well! This truck starts every time and does not smoke or burn oil. It cranks rights up even after sitting for a month. 1990 and 1991 Diesel suburban's came with over drive transmissions and the new style heads. This truck is not slow, it holds it own getting on the freeway and passing. Its not gonna win a drag race, but it has plenty of power to accelerate. This truck will run all day long at 75 or 80 miles per hour and not miss a beat. 90 and 91, 6.2 diesels have the good hi flow heads. The last picture was taken while driving 75mph....smooth Power windows are slow to go up and down, the power locks work, but need to pushed several times to get them all the way up. The rear door sometimes need to be manually unlocked by reaching in. This truck looks really good in the pictures , but is just average in person. I love it, but my wife not so much. Just please be aware its gonna need some cosmetic with the dash and paint to make a really nice truck. The truck also has the third row seat not pictured. The carpet is all in good shape. the headliner is nice, but starting to sag a tinny bit in the very back of the truck. Millage: I AM NOT SURE OF AUCTUALY MILAGE. speedometer works fine but the miles don't click off. its been this way since I got it. I have put maybe 2000 miles on it in a year. I took on 5 or 6 trips, 2 to 5 hours away. no problems. New Stuff: Engine: pulled from truck and all the freeze plugs replaced, new water pump, valve cover and intake gaskets, glow plugs and starter. Transmission: overhauled with new converter (six month warranty, expired) Radiator, thermostat upper and lower hoses (coolant light on because coolant sensor did not fit new radiator, needs brass adapter) Windshield- new Batteries - 2 new, 9 months old. Tires- 4 brand new (less than 1000 miles) Needs: Brakes-the brakes are weak, but very drivable. I have to add brake fluid after it sits. Shocks- The truck drives like a big boat and could use a set of shocks. A/C - looses charge after about a week, rear blower motor out. Dash is cracked, the tint has gone a little blurry Windows-crack in the long side rear passenger and rear window. Paint- faded with scratches. The headlights point down and need to be adjusted and the drivers door is out of alignment (this how I got the truck not sure why its like this) No spare tire. Overall this truck is good condition, ready to drive home. It needs some cosmetics to make it a great truck. Sold AS/IS Clear title in hand/ In my name. |

GM updating fullsize pickups for 2015
Sat, 10 May 2014As Ford prepares to hit the market with its x-factor, aluminum-intensive F-150 and Ram sales stand tall enough to meet General Motors truck sales eye-to-eye, GM is putting the word out that it's going to add more features to its trucks and do so more regularly. An executive engineer for pickups told reporters that "a whole array" of changes are on the way as soon as the 2015 model year and then would likely come "the year after that, the year after that, the year after that."
Only GM knows the way it plans to go with its fullsize trucks, with almost everyone else - including its dealers - griping about market share at the same time as they applaud profits and hope for clarity and growth. GM raised prices on the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra not long after launch even as it was losing market share and getting called "the least successful large pickup launch over the last 15 years," further upsetting dealers, then Ram outsold the Silverado in March of this year and led GM to increase incentives. But transaction prices rose with the premium; in the first quarter of this year more than 37 percent of the trucks costing more than $40,000 were the Silverado and Sierra, leading one dealer to say of the Sierra, "You can't sell a cheap one," and the analyst who made that "least successful launch" comment to opine, "GM may have made the right call to go for price over share."
We won't know for a few months what any of these updates will be, but the rumored changes for the Silverado and Sierra appear to cover all the bases, including appearance, capability and fuel economy. Rumors run to higher gear counts, stop-start technology and diesel engines before brand-new pickups come for the 2019 model year, those next-generation models supposedly to be engineered with a lot more aluminum.
GM able to add diesel to half-ton pickups if market demands it
Wed, 18 Sep 2013A few years ago, the trend in half-ton pickup trucks was ultra-luxurious trims, often with the words "limited" or "platinum" tacked on after the model name. That was well and good, but we like this latest fad a lot more - diesel engines. First, Ram came to bat with a 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel for the 1500, then Nissan announced that the next-generation Titan would be getting an eight-cylinder Cummins diesel.
Now, word is coming in from AutoGuide that General Motors can, if it so chooses, drop a diesel engine into its light-duty trucks. The plot thickens, though, as it turns out that said diesel would be the same one Ram is using for its truck. According to AG, that engine comes from VM Motori, which GM owns a sizable chunk of. Therefore, GM can snag the 3.0-liter, V6 diesel for its trucks just as easily, if not more easily, than Ram.
If it's so easy for the Detroit-based manufacturer to access the engines, why not offer the a diesel-powered Sierra and Silverado from the start, then? According to GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson, The General doesn't seem so confident in a diesel pickup outside of its HD offerings. According to Wilkinson, the cost-benefit ratio doesn't line up for customers, thanks to both the impact on the truck's sticker price and the higher price of diesel, in general (the national average for a gallon of diesel is 43 cents more than a gallon of 87-octane unleaded).
GM's fullsize SUVs boost highway mileage by nearly 10 percent
Wed, 26 Feb 2014We met the redesigned 2015 versions of the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL at the 2013 LA Auto Show. Improved gas mileage numbers have been announced to go along with the improved exteriors and interiors, with city mileage improving by seven percent and highway mileage going up by nearly ten percent; you'll now get 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway.
The only applies to models with the 5.3-liter engine, though, not the premium Yukon Denali and Yukon XL Denali SUVs with the 6.2-liter motor. Still, the 5.3 gets you more power than previously, with 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque underfoot, on top of the improved fuel economy numbers. The 6.2-liter sticks with official mpg ratings of 15 highway, 21 city. There's a brief press release below with words straight from the horse's mouth.
