I have up for sale a very rare, highly modified, and well taken care of GMC Typhoon. This car is a one owner with extensive ownership history. In 2005, after 12 years of ownership, the original owner decided to fully restore this truck, and spared no expense in doing so. This project was a labor of love for the original owner and his kids. So much has been replaced, rebuilt, upgraded, it is going to be very tough to cover everything, but I am going to try and do it in bullet point form: The truck was completely stripped down to the bare frame and rebuilt with lots of new or reconditioned parts: Body: -Completely stripped and disassembled, body mounts rebuilt -New GM licensed front fenders, wheel wells and core support -Tailgate stripped and redone -Filled roof seams -Roof rack removed, holes not shaved but plugged, retained chrome rails -New non-wiper tinted rear glass, with defroster($100) -Paul's select front bumper with 2nd gen crystal lens foglamps($860 + $300 - fogs) -Black gloss firewall, wheel wells and core support -4 coat GM Dark Spiral grey metallic, 6 coat DuPont clear($7,377) -Heavy duty headlight harness -Custom drivers side relocated battery using stock cables Engine (Receipt for engine build: $8,514.05) -Stock block, bored and decked @ 4.030 -4 bolt mains, ARP studs -JE pistons -Eagle rods (stock oil pan was swedged for clearance) -Stock crank, magnafluxed, polished and internally balanced -Melling high flow oil pump -Edelbrock double roller timing chain -Comp cams 415 ( changed from 422, too much cam for the build) -Vortec heads, 3 angle valve job, light polishing, stainless 2.01/1.64 valves -Crane 1.6 Gold series self-aligning rockers -Vortec modified SyTy manifold, polished by RPM($450) -75# PTE injectors -Accel 8.8mm plug wires -Autolite race plugs -MSD blaster GM coil -BBK 58mm throttle body ($345) -HKS SSQV blowoff on custom throttle body mount($198 -ATR stainless headers, rewelded and ceramic coated by JetHot ($995 + $330) -Fluidamper neutral harmonic balancer - Accel 4.3 distributor ($299) -Garret GT-35-R turbo (ball bearing), .83 A/R SyTy housing, 3" compressor($1,555) -RPM air to air front mount intercooler($922.19) -PTE internal wastegate downpipe($675) -ATR full 3" high flow exhaust with cat($465) -Walbro 255lp/h in tank pump -Volvo electric fan with custom relay controller -JSM frame pads with Moroso solid mounts -195* thermostat, OEM Jimmy waterneck with fan control sensor installed Engine management -Low impedance injector driver modified ECM ($299) -Custom tune by Nolan running through moates switchable chip adapter -3 bar MAP Driveline -Built 700R4, 700Raptor shot peened input and output shafts, kevlar clutches, 5 gear planetaries($4,615.91) -9.5" Billet converter, 2650rpm stall($618) -Gilbert propshaft -rebuilt front / rear axles -Eaton 7.625 carbon positraction differential($416) -Rebuild rear end with Eaton Diff and all new bearings/seals($768.33) -B&M HiTec Trans cooler, 13 x 9", sans fan.

A few rock chips up front and right about the rear window there are a few small bubbles in the paint. The A/C blows ice cold and everything is working the way it should. All Lights, gauges, Etc work great. I have a file with almost every receipt from Day 1, including the original window sticker, Bill of Sale, maintenance receipts, ETC. I started adding up receipts for work done during and after the restoration, I got to around $46K and then stopped. That does not include the $1,000's of $$$'s in receipts that I have before around 2005. Whoever gets this truck is getting something very Special! Please see fresh pictures and below that are some restoration pics:

GM recalling 54k Cadillac SRX, HD pickup models
Thu, 01 May 2014There are more recalls to report General Motors, but these latest actions pertain to newer examples of the Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD. With so much scrutiny on the company's recall strategy, GM is under increasing pressure to call in defective models more quickly, and it appears to be doing so here.
Here in the US, the automaker is recalling 50,571 Cadillac SRX crossovers from the 2013 model year fitted with the 3.6-liter V6 because the transmission control module programming can cause a three- or four-second lag in acceleration at low speeds. The explanation filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states, "if the following sequence occurs within two seconds: during an upshift from first to second gear (8-10 mph), the driver then brakes the vehicle to less than 5 mph, and then accelerates again," the delay can occur. According to Automotive News, the recall effects 56,400 vehicles worldwide, and the company is not aware of any crashes caused by the problem. The fix consists of a transmission control module (TCM) reflash.
In a separate recall, GM is repairing 51 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from the 2015 model year in the US. In vehicles with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, the nuts that connect the fuel pipe to each side of the transfer pump between the tanks may be improperly torqued, which could cause a fuel leak. Obviously, this could be a fire hazard. The remedy is simply tightening the hardware. According to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, there have been no fires actually caused by the potential leak. "Only 21 of the trucks are in customer possession and they can be fixed anytime because there are no parts involved. The others are being fixed at dealerships," Adler said in an email to Autoblog.
GM confirms 2015 Silverado, Sierra to get 8-speed automatic
Fri, 18 Jul 2014When viewed alongside the next Ford F-150 and the Ram 1500, there is one thing that seems to be missing from the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Where the F-150 will rely on turbocharging and aluminum architecture and the Ram sports an eight-speed automatic and an air suspension, the General Motors twins lack a big, calling-card feature. They're very good, very refined trucks, but one could argue that they're not terribly innovative.
And while it might not be as flashy a feature as air suspension or a lightweight skin, the Silverado and Sierra will get their own eight-speed automatic for 2015, a transmission that will be paired with the company's Ecotec3 6.2-liter V8. The new cogswapper will also find its way into the GMC Yukon Denali, but for now, there's no indication why the Cadillac Escalade, Suburban, Tahoe and standard Yukon are being left out.
According to GM, the new gearbox is about the same size and weight as the current Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed. By the time the new powertrain combination enters production late this year, the EPA will almost certainly have gotten around to certifying the vehicles' fuel efficiency. Until then, feel free to speculate. The current Silverado with the 6.2 and six-speed auto returns 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway. How much do you think the eight-speed will improve those figures? Scroll down for the official press blast from General Motors, and then head into Comments.
GM renders new Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon pickups
Thu, 08 Aug 2013At a series of industry seminars in Traverse City, MI today, General Motors executive vice president Dan Ammann gifted us with our first glimpse of the upcoming midsize pickup range from Chevrolet and GMC.
Just two slivers of nose are all we can see of the soon-to-be announced Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon, though the teaser image does make plain that the pair will follow the styling cues (at least up front) found on big brothers Silverado and Sierra.
GM hasn't given us much in the way of detail in its ultra-brief press release that accompanied the teaser image, which is to be expected. We're told only that the pair of trucks are designed to be "capable, versatile and fuel-efficient alternatives to full-size pickups" and that production will start sometime in 2014, at the Wentzville, MO assembly center.
