This is a 1993 GMC Typhoon with aprox 88,500 original miles. The truck is now painted black but was a apple red with silver cladding. The cladding is missing but now has wheel well moldings on it. The wheels are 20 inch after market with tire in very good condition. They don't seem to be very old at all. The engine is a 4.3 turbo charged with a water to air intercooler system that came from the factory. The truck does need a few things. The truck runs and drives very good and hold good oil pressure around 40-60 pounds. The front seats do have cracks in them and the passanger bottom thread is missing along the seem. The center console used some work, I believe one hinge is broken. The steering wheel is a aftermarket grant with a horn button located under the dash. The stereo is a cd player that made by alpine. There are some gauges inside the truck. The water temp on the pillar is hooked up and the one of the dash is not. I have the sending unit and is easy to switch it back. The oil pressure works on the dash and not the pillar gauge. The carpet behind the front driver seat needs some work and there is a picture posted. The back seat seems to be in really good condition. The power windows and door looks work great. The windows are all tinted including the windshield but the tint on the front to windows need redone. Now to the drivetrain. The engine does have some small oil leaks and what not and I notice the drive side valve cover is the worse of them which is very common for these 4.3 engines. The factory boost controller is current in need of being replaced and is by passed so the truck will only make about 8 pounds of boost right now. I had a manual one from another project on it and the turbo will spool up to the factory boost of around 14 with no problems. The factory control is a electronic unit. The transmission shifts great and a shift kit as be install. Nice firm quick shifts with no slipping. When it cold it is a little hard from 1st to 2nd but this is a normal condition for these trucks. The truck is lower a little more than factory but I had is aligned last week with no problems and od have the paperwork showing so. The front brakes and new pads, calipers, and hoses on both sides. Just passed Delaware inspection for everything but the window tint which we are not along to have here in this state and have the paper working show this as well. Delaware does have emissions and it passed on that as well. The body is pretty good but the drivers door does need door pins. There is a little rust at the bottom of both front doors and the tailgate. The cab itself is rust free in, out and under. The hood is a 2.5 inch aftermarket cowl with a finished under side. All the lights work on the truck as well. Every once in a while the anti lock brake like with come on, probably needs a wheel speed sensor. The is a small dent in tailgate buy the typhoon logo on the tailgate. The roll pan paint is a flat black and does not match the rest of the truck very well. Kind of goes with the front bumper finish. I bought this truck a few weeks ago but have released I don't have time for all the projects I have or I would not be selling this. This is a very fun truck to drive. If you have any questions or would like to see this truck please contact me on my cell 302 632 7341, chris. I will ship this truck but the buying will be resopncible for paying for this and setting up and shipper. Truck currently has a Maryland title that is clear and clean. The title shows 54,555 miles on 12/13/07. I have tried ot state everything I know but there may be something I missed and please understand this a 1993 truck and is 20 years old. These are very rare and if was restored to it orginal color there were only 101 in the color available in 1993. There was less than 5000 ever made.
***Just noticed on the vechile report that his truck has 100,000 more than I thought. The auto check shows that when is went from 145,000 to 147,000 they forgot the add the 1 in front of 47. With that in mind I thought the truck has 88,500 but it really has 188,500.******

***I have been informed by to ebay members that this is not a real typhoon but is a clone. This is don't know for sure but seems to be the case, you are buying with this being a very good possiblility.!!!!!*****

370,000 new Silverado and Sierra pickups recalled over fire risk
Fri, 10 Jan 2014General Motors announced late Friday that it will recall around 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra fullsize pickups from the 2014 model year over a possible fire risk. The recall covers select 4.3-liter V6 and 5.3-liter V8 models, which can evidently suffer engine compartment fires due to the overheating of exhaust components. GM notes that the fire issue may be preceded by a check engine light and an "engine power reduced" message on the driver information display.
Thus far, GM is aware of eight fires stemming from this problem (although only three of those incidents affected customer-owned vehicles), and all of the fires were reported in areas with "very cold weather." GM is urging owners to not leave their vehicles unintended while idling. No injuries have resulted from the fires in question.
The Detroit-based automaker has pledged to start mailing out recall letters on January 16. The fix, which involves software reprogramming, is estimated to be a 20-minute repair, and will be made free of charge.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Chevy Colorado configurator goes live as GM touts fuel efficiency
Wed, 03 Sep 2014While the news of today is destined to be dominated by a certain plucky Japanese roadster, props to Chevrolet and GMC for announcing its own significant bit of news about their newest pickup twins, the midsize Colorado and Canyon. The two GM-owned brands announced that the twins' 3.6-liter V6 will return up to 26 miles per gallon on the freeway.
To get such efficiency from the 305-horsepower mill, you'll need to live without four-wheel drive and be okay with a max city fuel economy of 18 mpg. The combined rating for the 2WD model sits at 21 mpg. Adding four-wheel drive drops the city and combined ratings by one mpg, while the highway rating dips from 26 to 24 mpg.
As for the twins' eagerly anticipated 2.8-liter diesel engine, it's destined for model year 2016, meaning we've got a ways to go before its efficiency and output are certified.
