1999 GMC Suburban 4WD * 454 Big Block with a Whipple Supercharger * Thump'n Sound System * Entertainment System

This truck was 1 of 5 purchased and converted by Truckin Magazine.  I have been told that 2 were black, 2 were white and 1 was red.  We have tried to get a copy of the Truckin Magazine which features this suburban (no luck).  I do have a friend who thinks he may have it in his collection.  I will ask him again if the buyer is interested.  The photos tell most of the story as to what was done in this conversion.  It was repainted with a black metallic.  The only thing that has been updated is the wheels & tires.   The original Truckin Magazine wheels will be included if desired. 

It has been well maintained and runs great.  The only thing that needs to be pointed out is that the paint around the dually flares has bubble/blemish spots.  The bubbles/blemishes are not from rust.  I believe it was some type of chemical reaction from the dually conversion/paint application.  Please see the pictures.  The pictures clearly show the blemishes.  The rest of the body is very nice.  The windshield is brand new.  It does not have any funky odors such as a dog or smoke smell.  It drives nice and does not pull to either side.  The brakes are good and they do not pulsate.  As far as power…well let’s just say it has lots of power.  It sounds cool too.  I have a video.  Please email me if you would like me to send you the link.

We do have a clean and clear Washington State title in hand.  This is a private party sale.  We do have it for sale locally and we may cancel this auction at any time if someone makes us the right offer.  I would like to answer all questions before the auction closes.  Please do not hesitate to call me and ask any questions.  I can get more pictures, perhaps a video, more details…  Just let me know.  I am also willing to allow mechanical pre-purchase inspections.  Please give me a call.  I am easy to work with.  I respect your time and I ask you do the same.

 

Thanks for looking…

GM able to add diesel to half-ton pickups if market demands it

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

A 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).

2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon order guides reveal added power

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

General Motors' Fleet Order Guide system is often the canary in the coal mine for interesting changes on new models. The recent guide for the 2015 Corvette unveiled all sorts of changes that weren't yet known about the sports car. Now, it's time for the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon to take their bow in the spotlight, and they look worth the wait. The new midsize trucks are getting a touch more power than first thought, as well as some very nice features.
Extended Cab models of both trucks come standard with a 2.5-liter, direct-injected four-cylinder rated at 200 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 191 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. That's a bit more than the 193 hp and 184 lb-ft originally reported for the duo. The standard transmission for the extended trucks is a six-speed manual, but the Work Truck trim is also available with an optional six-speed automatic. Towing for the four-cylinder is rated at 3,500 pounds.
Crew Cab models come standard with a 3.6-liter V6 with 305 hp at 6,800 rpm and 269 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 rpm, with a six-speed automatic. That's also somewhat different than the originally reported rating of 302 hp and 270 lb-ft. Towing for the V6 is rated at 7,000 pounds.

GM phasing out light-duty 1500-series vans

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

In the market for a fullsize van but don't need a heavy-duty model? You're in the minority, and you're also out of luck. That's because there are barely any more fullsize vans on the market with gross vehicle weight rating of less than 8,500 pounds, the threshold that separates light- and heavy-duty vans.
According to PickupTrucks.com, neither the Ford E-Series, Ram ProMaster, nor Mercedes-Benz Sprinter are available in light-duty versions. Few of the Ford Transit configurations are, either, and now General Motors is discontinuing production of the 1500-series Chevy Express and GMC Savana.
Apparently light-duty versions accounted for just 23 percent of Express sales and only 7 percent of Savanas. Add to that the fact that these 1500 versions were the only ones using the old generation of engines and suspension, and that the Wentzville plant near St. Louis, Missouri, is trying to make room for the next Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups, and the fate of the light-duty GM van was sealed.
