I may be able to drive the truck to most of New England to deliver! See the last paragraph for details. Here we have a very clean 1985 GMC Sierra Classic. Its tough to decide wether its show quality or daily driver quality, but I drive it daily anyways. I get compliments every day. I simply have too many toys, and not enough garage, so something has to go because the yard is starting to get crowded. I am very sorry to see this truck go, but its either the truck or my classic trans am. I drive this about 400 miles a week, so this is a solid, dependable, turn key truck, -NOT a project truck. It passed RI inspection with no problems in September of 2013. Exterior- It has an all original, rust, bondo, ding, and dent free body. It was sanded down to bare metal and painted in March 2014 deep metallic cobalt blue. It comes with a 4 year paint and clear coat guarantee through the body shop. Its a 2014 Ford metallic "deep impact blue" paint code j-4. Prior to painting, the body had very minimal rust along the top of the back wheel wells, and it was completely cut out and replaced with nos gm panels. They did a fantastic job making it look like it never happened. The entire truck was stripped down to bare metal, block sanded, and re-painted. I also replaced all of the chrome, (all new parts) including the bumpers, mirrors, light bezels, fender emblems, hood ornament, wheel well trim, and the hood was replaced with a Goodmark steel cowl induction hood. Everything is NOS except the mirrors, and light bezels. The bumpers are new chrome OEM. I have the original hood if wanted for an extra $50, it is midnight blue. The body is in really clean like new condition 9.75/10. The GMC logo on the grill is now red, I had a die-cut 6 year vinyl sticker made and inserted. I also added a new diamond plate locking tool box, (yes it comes with the key), diamond plate bed rails, and tailgate cap for a very simple flash appeal that's not too over the top. The inside of the bed has no holes but has some scratches to the paint, as I use this truck as a daily driver. I liked the chrome headlight bezels, but didn't care for the cheap looking 85 argent grill it had before I painted it, so I had a nos 84 chrome grill installed, and custom brackets to keep the dual headlights. That's why it has a one of a kind look to the front. Factory but custom at the same time. Looks great! Interior- Cosmetically very clean with no rips in the seat, and only a 3 inch crack in one of the speaker vents, I put gorilla tape under it to prevent the crack from spreading last year, -so far so good, it has worked for the last year. Carpeting is original, and if you want a completely new looking interior, this would be the only thing you might replace. Its not horrible, but does show some dirt stains in the high foot traffic areas. I just replaced all 4 speakers, Pioneers in the front, and Kickers in the rear. The original AC Delco cassette deck works as well. It has the Delorean windshield antennae.The AC compressor has oil in it, but I will send the truck out with a brand new one, if I can win the auction Im bidding in at a reasonable price. The AC has no line leaks in the system, I had a dye test performed, and it was diagnosed once an oil leak was found in the compressor. Im currently bidding on a NOS Delco Harrison compressor, you will have to install it if I win it. The AC should work perfectly new if installed properly. I will revise this auction if I have won it, and I will include it with the sale of the truck. Suspension/brakes I had HD lift coils installed in the front for ground clearance, and replaced the back leaf springs to level it out. The truck now sits as high as a K-series with a 3 inch lift. Still handles bumpy highway on-ramps at 40mph no problem. New upper and lower control arms and ball joints within the last year. Truck stops very well! Truck has the optional factory upgrade JB55 heavy duty braking system, with all new pads, rotors, and calipers in the front, and the back drums are good. Stops straight, front end is tight, idler arm is good, tie rods are tight, good sway bar bushings, all-in-all a very tight front end, however, the truck has a slight pull to the right, so I recommend a front end alignment. I will try to make time to get this done prior to sale, but I make no promises. I own a business and any spare time I may be lucky to get is usually spent with family. It started pulling after I had the brakes done in May. It is not dangerous, and the truck handles great, just being 100% honest. There is minimal play in the wheel, and the truck drives very well with the exception of the slight pull. You can drive it onehanded comfortably with no problem, -I do most of the time. Drivetrain- 305 ci HO engine with mild cam, and very recent Edlebrock 650 performer carb. Engine starts and runs like new, cold, hot, doesn't matter, it just sounds great. No knocks, ticks, etc. It does smoke for 2 seconds if it sat for less than half an hour and Im guessing its dripping down once the pressure drops. I do add 2/3rds of a quart to every 3000mi oil change to keep it perfectly level. It has been like this for a year now, and it hasn't gotten any worse. The transmission shifts very smoothly. No bucking or hesitation. It is a 700r4 automatic with overdrive, cruises nicely at 70 mph. Besides the minor oil burning, you wont find anything to complain about. Frame and undercarriage- Just your typical surface rust here and there, but not everywhere. No rot at all. All solid steel. Just took a ballpeen hammer and double checked it today, very meaty frame and under carriage. Tires- 33.5 x 12.5 x 16 BF Goodrich All Terrains, more than 3/4 tread life on all 4. American Racing chrome rims. Accessories and options- new steel cowl induction hood, roof visor, new diamond plate toolbox, bedrail, and tailgate caps. Recently wired for bumper towing with a flat plug. I tow a 12 foot aluminum john boat to bass fishing tournaments on the weekends. Power windows- (passenger side is slow but works) driver side is like new, power door locks work, but driver side needs lock actuator. I just manually lock it because its right there, never fixed it because passenger side works, and that's good enough for me. This truck has the optional factory upgraded JB55 heavy duty breaking system, rear sliding window, and Delorean windshield antennae. Mileage- The auction has included a free vehicle history report. You can view it at the top left of the auction, click on it then click on -view entire history report. This is exactly what happened. The owner of this truck in 2008 obtained a title with the actual mileage of 83,607. He Is a long time professional colleague of my Aunt, my Aunt purchased this truck for my cousin as a birthday gift in July of 2012. When my Aunt filled out the title application, she wrote on the form 93k miles, but when she received the title in the mail, it said 193k miles. The clerk showed her the application and said that there was no error made, but when my aunt looked, the application had a blue ink mark in front of the black 93xxx miles, and the person that processed the title assumed it was a 1. They refused to correct the title.There is no way my aunts coworker put 110k miles on the truck in 46 months. He only drove it on the weekends. So the truck has on it now about 106k miles, but on title, it will show 206k. TERMS AND CONDITIONS- Please bid with confidence. This is a great looking and running classic pickup truck. ***Paypal is accepted only under the following contingency- I will not release the truck from my custody until all of the funds are in my bank account and available. If you do not agree with this term, you are free to pay with cash in person***. This truck is sold as is where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. The truck is listed and offered for sale locally, I reserve the right to sell locally if sold prior to ebay auction end. Delivery options- Once payment is received and all funds are available in my bank account, I am willing to personally drive the truck to the following states. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or southern Vermont. I will need a $300 fuel payment up front. You can either mail me a cashiers check or US post office money order prior to my departure. The fuel and delivery cost must clear prior to departure. I will afford my own transportation home. I am not willing to drive the truck and then collect cash once I arrive. It is simply too much cash to have on the open road. I must have all funds here at home prior to delivering. On Jul-10-14 at 11:25:33 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE! I was able to win a brand new (NOS) Delco Harrison AC compressor!! It comes with the truck, simply have it professionally installed and charged! My mechanic told me there were no leaks in the system and all I need to do to is replace the compressor and re-charge! On Jul-11-14 at 15:16:35 PDT, seller added the following information: I took new pictures today, to try and show some of what the first ones may have missed. I hope they help. |

2022 GMC Canyon gets a few tiny changes
Thu, Dec 30 2021After overhauling the GMC Canyon lineup into Elevation Standard, Elevation, AT4, and Denali for the 2021 model year, GMC has sprinkled just a few changes on the 2022 Canyon. The midsized pickup's appearance outside and inside doesn't change. The sole alteration in the cabin is that wireless charging won't be come standard on Denali next year, but be an option. That could be GM making lemonade out of lemons, telling customers that if they want hard-to-find semiconductor chips then they're going to have to kick in more dough. The only other change is a new gloss black aluminum spare wheel for the AT4 trim when specced with a Crew Cab and a short bed. This rim replaces the steel spare wheel that remains standard fit on Elevation, Elevation Standard, and Denali. And anyone looking for the High Elevation Package will need to look for it by its new name, the Elevation Premium Package. The Denali Black Edition Package is new for next year for $2,295 on gas-powered models that aren't fitted with the Power Package or the Cat-Back Performance Exhaust. On the exterior, this adds five-inch black assist steps to replace the chrome units, black chrome exhaust tips instead of polished tips, and 20-inch low-gloss-black aluminum wheels with black GMC logo center caps. Inside come premium all-weather floor mats taking the place of the carpeted mats. The current, second-generation Canyon doesn't have long to live, with the third-generation pickup expected for the 2023 or 2024 model year. Spy shots from earlier this year make us think the Canyon and its Chevrolet Colorado twin will pick up styling to emphasize their connection to GM's larger half-ton pickups. Rumor also has it that the Silverado will donate what may be the new midsizer's only powertrain, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine — the new corporate 2.7-liter turbo in this instance. That 310-horsepower mill would supplant both the 2.5-liter four-cylinder 3.6-liter V6 gas engines now available, and the 2.8-liter Duramax diesel. It does, however, appear that GMC will get its own version of the Colorado ZR2, spy shooters catching a camouflaged, high-rise Canyon on a set of Multimatic DSSV dampers.

2022 GMC Hummer Edition 1 weighs 9,063 pounds
Wed, Feb 23 2022From the beginning, the Hummer line of vehicles has been synonymous with the phrase, "absolute unit." The M998 Humvee turned to civilian use as the Hummer H1 came with a curb weight of 7,560 pounds depending on configuration. The much more urbane Hummer H2 didn't sacrifice much of those gains, putting about 6,615 on the scales. Let us not forget that the behemoth gravitational pull and square-jawed mass were what every Hummer buyer wanted. So, starting with the brand values and customer demand, and adding the fact that electric vehicles are substantially heavier than their ICE counterparts, no one should be surprised that the 2022 GMC Hummer Edition 1 weighs 9,063 pounds. That's just one of the substantial figures GMC included in a self-certification filing submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the document rooted out by Car and Driver. Last year GMC told us the Hummer would weigh 9,046 pounds, which proves again the Freshman 15 (or 16) is unavoidable. Loaded up with humans and their accessories, the truck's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) comes in at 10,550 pounds. It takes a few other big numbers to keep that kind of tonnage on the go. The Ultium battery weighs 2,923 pounds. With a 617-amp-hour capacity at 400 volts, total capacity comes in at 246.8 kWh, specific energy at 158 Wh/kg. Usable capacity is about 85% less, at 212.7 kWh. For the time being, these numbers put every other pack in a production vehicle in the shade. That gargantuan chemical plant in the Hummer's floor powers a 329-mile range the same way a giant fuel tanks feed a truck that gets 8 miles to the gallon. The miles per gallon equivalent figures GMC submitted to the EPA are 51 MPGe city, 43 MPGe highway, 47 MPGe combined. Motor Trend questioned whether GM applied the correction factor used for window sticker numbers; if not, the standard 0.7 correction drops the MPGe specs to 36 city, 30 highway, and 33 combined. However, trucks with a GVWR beyond 8,500 pounds don't need to display fuel economy figures on their window stickers, so don't expect to see any such details on dealer lots. For comparison, the Rivian R1T Launch Edition weighs about 7,000 pounds, and fits a 128.9 kWh battery good for an estimated 314 miles estimated at 70 MPGe.
GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest
Thu, Mar 12 2015Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.
